Ok, I’m back.. it’s been a rough last few days. Yesterday my furnace died and it was 28F outside, I wasn’t very happy at all. I like Epson printers, they work very well. It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any of their wide format printers though, the last one I got I actually donated to my kids school for them to use and they were very happy with it and put it to good use. The three new printers from Epson are from their WorkForce series and supposedly offer the fastest print speeds in their class.

 

Versatile Printing and Scanning Features Keep Small Businesses Productive

The WorkForce wide format printer line is ideal for small businesses such as architecture firms, engineers and other creative business professionals that require large-format printing, superior dependability, performance and speed. All three models deliver high quality and productivity features including fast single- and double-sided print speeds – 15 ISO ppm black and 8.0 ISO ppm color single-sided; 7.8 ISO ppm black and 5.2 ISO ppm color two-sided. The all-in-ones are the only devices in their class to offer both 13" x 19" printing and an 11" x 17" scan bed[2], allowing businesses to maximize efficiency and streamline workflow and utilizing one device for all printing and scanning needs, from specialty large-format jobs to every day printing and scanning, such as email and documents.

The all-in-ones also offer Epson Connect for hassle-free printing on the go. With Epson Connect, mobile device users can print web pages, photos, documents, and e-mail attachments directly from tablets, smart phones and other mobile devices.

Replacing the popular WorkForce 1100 model, the WorkForce WF-7010 printer offers built-in Ethernet networking to easily connect and share with workgroups, as well as versatile paper handling, allowing business users to print everything from index cards to 13" x 19" layouts.
