Epson 1300 Printer Review

The Epson WorkForce 1300 is a business inkjet printer that can handle a variety of media up to 13x19 inches in size. It has maximum ISO speeds of 13 pages per minute in black and 5.5 pages per minute in color. Its sharp output quality makes it a great choice for business documents and photos alike, and affordable Epson 1300 printer ink supplies keep it inexpensive to operate.

The extra wide paper support of 13 inches is a nice feature for the 1300, but the input paper tray holds only 100 sheets of paper or 10 envelopes, which might disappoint busy users a bit. The only connection option is a USB port, so buyers who want to share a printer will need to keep looking. Both Windows and Mac operating systems are supported, and the unit comes with software to handle Auto Photo Correction and other tasks.

A maximum print resolution of 5760x1440 dpi makes for excellent photo quality, and the WorkForce 1300 printer ink system supports a droplet size as small as 3 picoliters. The device does consume a fair amount of space when printing, but when it is closed up for storage it measures just 8.5x24.3x12.7 inches, and weighs a little over 26 pounds, even with the Epson 1300 ink supplies installed.

The inkjet system uses 5 separate Epson 1300 ink cartridges to create prints: cyan, magenta, yellow, and two black supplies. Both standard and high-capacity WorkForce 1300 ink cartridges are available, and remanufactured supplies are offered by third-party vendors at a fraction of the price of OEM versions.

The standout features of the 1300 are its high-quality photo output and its versatile media handling. Extras like duplexing and solid speeds add to its value, but some buyers might be disappointed in its lack of networking options for sharing.
