The EPSON

1500 is an affordable, high-quality ink jet
printer that produces realistic grayscale images, sharp text, and
line art at a resolution of 720 × 720 dpi. The Stylus 1500 comes
equipped for printing in black ink; however, you can easily
upgrade it to print in color with the optional Color Upgrade
Kit. With the Color Upgrade Kit, the Stylus 1500 can print up to
16 million colors to produce full-color, photo-quality images.
