The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 delivers tremendous value for money with its superbly low printing costs, high-quality prints, and versatile connectivity, but at the expense of poor color accuracy and average print speeds.
Released in 2020, the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is an upper mid-range all-in-one color inkjet printer with scanning, printing, faxing, and copying functionality. It has a 2.6” touchscreen color display, supports automatic duplex printing, and weighs 22 lbs. Like the most popular printers, it can print on A4, A5, A6, tabloid, letter, legal-size papers, and glossy paper material.
The main input tray holds 270 pages, the rear input tray holds 20 pages, and the automatic document feeder holds 35 pages. Connectivity options include WiFi Direct, Mopria, Apple AirPrint, Ethernet, and USB-A, as seen on the best all-in-one printers.

Consensus
our Verdict
The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is an incredible upper mid-range printer for offices and busy households/home offices. It has remarkably low running costs of 0.3 cents per page, which ranks the best among our certified, tested printers. You also get a massive estimated page yield of 6840 black-only prints and 4574 color prints. Its max print resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI ensures details in the prints are clear, and the 1200 DPI scan resolution with 24-bit color depth is suitable for high-quality scans.
Printing speeds are average at 14.6 PPM (black-only) and 5.4 PPM (color), but color accuracy is poor (with a 10.33dE color difference). The ET-15000 supports automatic duplex printing, and connectivity options include WiFi, Ethernet, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria, but there is no printing from external storage.
Reason to Buy
High-quality prints and scans
This all-in-one printer is excellent for offices and home offices with significant printing needs.
Its max print resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI gives you precise details in prints. The 1200 DPI scan resolution with 24-bit color depth is good for retaining small details during photo enlargement.
Ultra-low running costs
The printing costs of 0.3 cents per page offer remarkable cost efficiency and rank the best among our certified, tested printers.
Reason to Avoid
Slow printing
The 14.6 PPM black-only printing and 5.4 PPM color printing are only average, ranking in the middle of our verified, tested list. Although fine for moderately busy spaces, these speeds aren’t preferable for demanding work environments.
No printing from external storage
Although the ET-15000’s connectivity options include WiFi, WiFi Direct, USB to computer, Ethernet, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria, you can’t print from external storage devices like USBs and SD cards.
Poor color accuracy
With a 10.33dE color difference, color accuracy is poor and ranks among the worst in our certified, tested roster.

The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 and the Epson EcoTank ET-3850 are both all-in-one inkjet printers suitable for families and small offices, thanks to their minimal running costs. The ET-15000 has a larger input tray capacity and faster scan speeds of 5 PPM, but the ET-3850’s slightly faster printing speeds and higher page yield can keep up with demanding environments. Moreover, the ET-3850 costs around 60% less than the ET-15000. For more information, read our Epson EcoTank ET-3850 review.

With its lower printing costs and faster black-only printing, the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is preferable for offices over the HP Smart Tank 7602. But the 7602’s higher-quality prints and swifter color printing make it more apt if quality is a priority. For an in-depth review, consider this HP Smart Tank 7602 review.
