Buy Printer Plotters

Review by Lon J. Seidman:

I am a very pleased owner of an Epson Workforce 600, so I was excited to receive this wide format printer for review. Like other Epson Workforce series printers, the 1100 has a quick printing means and quality that rivals laser output (depending on the paper stock).

Is this printer for everyone? Beyond doubt not. At the initiation it's huge (although not as large as a wide format laser), so those with tight space may want to reckon about whether they really need to print on paper wider than 8.5 inches. It also lacks a arrangement interface, so it must be tethered to a computer or a compatible third party print server.

Epson is not marketing this product as a photo printer. Even as the image quality of the 1100 is brilliant, those looking for wide format photos should consider a photo printer designed for that purpose. Photos will print on the 1100, but there are better printers on the market that will produce more vibrant photo prints.

The Workforce 1100 is fantastic, but, for businesses looking for a small more flexibility in the size of prints they can make without having to invest in expensive hardware and consumables.

Review by Kenji Bear:

I was a bit sceptical when purchasing this printer as it has no reviews, but in the end the only comparable model was an HP with terrible reviews so I went for it. I ordered off Epson's site and was shocked that the printer got here the next day. I don't like the size, going from a habitual printer to this...well it took me a hours worth of cleaning to find room for this 24*15 inch printer. After I got it all set up(it was a breeze) I in black and white one of my scrapbook layouts out. It in black and white much quicker than I imagined and I didn't even have to wait for it to dry before I could get my hands all over it. The quality is so much better than my ancient Canon i850, and I loved that printer. I like the ease of use and ability to go to online support(or to order ink) straight from the software.

The ink is very affordable even from Epson's site. When choosing a printer I now always look for the separate color ink tanks and like the fact that this printer came with not only 4 cartridges but 5. I also like that even from Epson you can order high capacity or standard cartridges.

Now to the part I don't like. I have tried a few different brands of printer paper. And all of them gave me a reflective black which I personally can't stand in my photos. The only two brands which didn't do this(of my tests) were Print Works High Gloss and Epson. I mainly use Matte end which looked fantastic with all the brands I tested.

The final scoop. I recommend this printer to anyone. I paid 125 dollars for this printer(used a coupon) and I know that I will get my monies worth out of it. I find it fantastic for scrap booking(beats sending spreads out for 1.99 a piece) The problems with non-epson paper gripes me but all in all I find the hold and up-keep on this printer very affordable.
