Wide-format printing covers a lot of ground: 13-inch photo proofs, 44-inch roll-fed posters, and everyday scan-and-print work. The tricky part is that the listed price only sets the budget - the condition and media size determine whether the printer is actually ready to work for you. These four listings span USD 250.00 to USD 439.99, a USD 189.99 spread, and each one makes a different trade-off between upfront cost and expected upkeep.
Quick Take
The quick route through this set: if you need the largest output format, the used Epson Stylus Pro 9880 is the only 44-inch roll-fed model listed here, though it may need print-head attention. If you want a modern all-in-one that prints up to 13 x 19 and scans, the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is the most feature-complete pick. The Epson Stylus Photo 1400 gives you a photo-focused 13 x 19 inkjet at a middle price, and the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is the lowest-priced listing but is sold as for parts or not working.

Product Notes
Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Wide Format Color Inkjet Printer
At USD 349.99, this open-box Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is the photo-focused middle option. Its 5760 x 1440 dpi maximum resolution is the highest resolution mentioned in this set, and it supports printing onto compatible inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs. The model number is C11C655001, and connectivity is USB-C. The unit was connected to power and powered on, but no print test was performed. That detail is the main limitation: an open-box unit with confirmation of power-on but not of actual output quality. Pick it for 13 x 19 photo and graphic printing when you are okay with that open-box caveat.
Working Epson Stylus Pro 9880 (44-inch)
Listed at USD 400.00, the Epson Stylus Pro 9880 is the only 44-inch printer among these four. It uses the 8-color UltraChrome K3 ink system with Vivid Magenta, and its maximum resolution is 2880 x 1440 dpi. The unit is set up for roll-fed use and comes with a power cord and three ink cartridges: Vivid Magenta, Light Magenta, and another color. It turns on, but it may need print-head or other maintenance, and one hinge on the ink-slot cover is broken. It has not been used in over a year. Choose it for large-format roll-fed output if you are prepared to handle possible maintenance and accept a used unit.
Epson EcoTank ET-15000 Wide-Format Supertank Printer
The highest listed price here is USD 439.99 for the Epson EcoTank ET-15000. This certified-refurbished all-in-one uses the cartridge-free supertank system with refillable ink tanks, and each replacement ink bottle set can print up to 6,000 pages. It handles 13 x 19-inch prints through the rear-feed tray, scans up to 8.5 x 14 inches through the ADF, and has a 250-sheet front tray. The control panel is a 2.7-inch color touchscreen, and the printer supports Wi-Fi and voice-activated printing. If you want one machine for wide printing, scanning, and high-volume tank refills, this is the most complete package here. The trade-off is the highest upfront price and the certified-refurbished condition.
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 Wide Format Printer
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is a color inkjet large-format model in the Canon imagePROGRAF line. At USD 250.00, it is the lowest listed price in this comparison, but the condition is for parts or not working. It is not a plug-and-play choice. The intended use is color output for architectural, graphic design, and photography work. Choose it only if you want a low-cost unit for parts, repair, or a project that can accept a non-working machine. The limitation is clear: with that condition, you should expect that it may not produce prints without significant work.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For 44-inch roll-fed output: Epson Stylus Pro 9880. It is the only listing at that size, but set aside time for possible print-head or other maintenance.
- For a do-it-all wide-format workstation: Epson EcoTank ET-15000. It offers 13 x 19 printing, ADF scanning, Wi-Fi, and refillable tanks at the highest listed price.
- For photo-focused 13 x 19 prints at a middle price: Epson Stylus Photo 1400. The open-box condition and lack of a print test are the main caveats.
- For parts, repair, or the lowest listed price: Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710. The USD 250.00 price is attractive only if you can work with a non-working unit.
