The black cartridge in this “Extra” size is expected to produce about 845 pages while the color cartridges are rated at about 775 pages.
The High-capacity black is rated to yield about 385 pages, while the High-capacity color cartridges are rated at about 470 pages each.Īnd, where most vendors use XL, or extra-large in their higher yield cartridges, Epson uses “Extra High-capacity”. Epson uses the term “High-capacity” in describing all of the WF-7520’s cartridges. Epson’s photo printers generally use more than the standard four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) that all inkjets, including the WF-7520, are equipped with. While the WF-7520 is capable of excellent output quality, it’s not billed as a photo printer. Epson does not list its canvas paper as one of the supported papers, however. The WF-7520 can print on most Epson specialty papers including iron-on transfer paper and adhesive sheets. These cassettes can also handle paper as small as 3.5 x 5 inches (usually photo paper), and as large as 13 x 19 inches.
While the MFP doesn’t give you the print-to-CD feature found on some Epson models, there are two paper trays, and each can be loaded with a half-ream (250 sheets) of either letter- or legal-size paper. Paper handling is another thing we like about the WF-7520. If you have a need for large format printing or scanning and have the room for it, it’s a great buy for the money. The WF-7520 also supports Apple AirPrint and Google CloudPrint.
#How to print on 3x5 cards on epson wf 3520 free
If you sign up for a free Epson ConnecT account, you gain the ability to print from anywhere and scan to the cloud. The WF-7520 supports USB, Ethernet, and 802.11n Wi-Fi connections. We usually test printers and MFPs using a USB cable so as to avoid any network or wireless traffic slowdowns affecting our speed tests. The WF-7520 has excellent connectivity options. Automatic duplexing for scanning or copying is only available with the ADF on letter-sized paper, though the ADF will accommodate up to 11 x 17 documents when scanning on only one side. Automatic duplexing is provided for printing, scanning, and faxing, and the ADF holds up to 30 pages. There is a front USB port, but it’s there for use with a digital camera’s PictBridge direct print feature. The WF-7520 can print photos and documents directly from SD, Compact Flash, or Memory Stick flash memory. Separate sections of the control panel are used for selecting different functions. Selections are made using a four-direction arrow pad next to the screen with an “OK” button in the middle of the directional arrows. A small color LCD panel displays menu choices, though it isn’t a touchscreen. Many of the Epson AIOs we’ve tested recently have an adjustable tilt control panel, and the WF-7520 follows the same design scheme. Size aside, the WF-7520 is fairly conventional. And weighing 41 pounds, make sure you have the strength to lift it. With the device measuring 22 x 27.2 x 18.1 inches in printing mode (with the paper support extended), you’re not going to fit this on your desk, at least not if you want anything else next to it. Wide-format printers tend toward the large side, and with the WF-7520 being an MFP, it’s even larger. Let’s take a closer look at this wide-format jack-of-all-trades. Both the scan platen and the automatic document feeder (ADF) can scan up to 11 x 17, useful for scanning across both pages of an open magazine, for example. It’s a business-centric device, but we see it benefiting the home user, too, considering it costs just $300.īut the WF-7520’s large-document capability doesn’t stop there. The WF-7520 is also an All-in-One (AIO) multifunction printer (MFP) that provides print, copy, scan, and fax functions. The Epson WorkForce WF-7520 is one such device that’s able to print documents as large as 13 x 19 inches, but it takes things up a notch. A wide-format printer lets you churn out large spreadsheets that are easier to view, wall-sized photos, and booklets. Whether for work or even at home, having an inkjet printer that can print on 11 x 17-inch paper is often useful. Sometimes, letter- and legal-size papers just aren’t big enough.
