The Epson GT 1500 Scanner in Review

Epson is a name that has been among the top monikers in the world of scanners and printers for decades. However, not every device produced by Epson can be considered a top of the line model. The recent release of the Epson GT 1500 Scanner has many potential consumers wondering if this release truly does live up to expectations.

Here is the answer: this scanner is an excellent model. The following overview details how and why it is such a solid device...

The Epson GT 1500 Scanner is a reasonably priced flatbed scanner that is relatively easy to use. The user-friendliness of this scanner will always be a positive attribute to many since those that might need a scanner may not necessarily be tech savvy. Again, the good news here is that you do not have to be tech savvy to operate this very simple scanner device.

The installation of the device is equally simple. The installation disk practically installs itself and all you need to do is connect the scanner to your PC via a basic USB port. Once you have done this, your scanner will be perfectly ready for operations.

The Epson GT 1500 Scanner is an excellent consumer electronics item that does deliver on expectations as far as the reproduction of images is concerned. Certainly, most consumers will find this to be the most important of all the attributes the scanner could possess. Really, what value would a scanner have if it did not scan images effectively?

Here is the ‘good news/bad news' answer to this question. For basic office scanning, this is an excellent device. If you are looking to reproduce highly detailed photographs or need the scanner to handle graphic design work, this would not be the device for you. Small businesses and office environments will find this to be the perfect scanner.

What the press is saying:

"Based on its very good overall performance, and lower than average price, BLI highly recommends the Epson WorkForce GT-1500 for workgroups and office with simplex scanning needs."
Staff, Buyer’s Laboratory

"The WorkForce GT-1500 is Epson's answer to the growing need in small businesses for a fast document-focused scanner that can scan multiple pages of text in short order. The results with photos weren't disappointing either, making the scanner more versatile than we expected. Unless you require film- and slide-scanning capabilities, this could be the scanner your home or office needs to eliminate those growing stacks of paper."
Chris Holt, Macworld

"Anyone who needs a reasonably priced simplex document scanner should give serious consideration to the Epson WorkForce GT-1500."
Richard Jantz, PC World
