Q&A:

Q: I purchased a PPO-EP-FFC-14x2-70 cable for my Epson XP-15000 printer, believing it would fit as the description mentioned it's for Expression printers. However, the cable is too short, causing the print head to be unable to return to the capping station without any slack. What can I do?

A: Thanks for contacting us. We at BCH Technologies appreciate your engagement and support, especially concerning our YouTube channel. Your feedback is vital in advancing our technical expertise.

Epson's Expression series includes various printers, notably desktop and wide-format ones, like the XP-15000. The cable you've selected, PPO-EP-FFC-14x2-70, is indeed designed for Epson Expression printers but is suited for regular desktop models, such as the XP-600, not wide-format ones. The title "Epson Regular Desktop Expression" and the product description's emphasis on "REGULAR DESKTOP" along with the specific mention that "This cable IS NOT for wide-format printers such as ET-8550 (too short). It is for regular width printer only" aims to guide users in selecting the right cable for their printer model.

For your XP-15000, a wide-format printer, this cable will be too short, restricting the movement of the print head back to its capping station due to lack of slack. To resolve this, you will need a longer cable specifically designed for wide-format models like yours. We recommend the FFC Bundle for Epson XP-15000 Printhead, which includes 2pcs of FFC flat flex cables, suitable for your printer. You can find it here: BCH Technologies.
