The Epson WorkForce WF-110 replaces the almost the same WF-100, however comes in at the lower rate factor of $299 (₤ 199 or AU$ 362). The only brand-new attribute for the WF-110 is the introduction of an outside friend battery (marketed separately to the printer) extending its possible print run to 360 pages on a single charge, which would certainly be 410 web pages in overall.
Epson WorkForce WF-110
Design and build
The Epson Labor force WF-110 is developed for the road and also it's the tiniest as well as lightest battery-powered inkjet printer we have actually come across. It's way larger than thermal tech printers like the pocket-sized Bro PocketJet PJ-773, however this is basically a fully-featured A4 colour printer that has actually been reduced to the size of purse.It's little sufficient to slide inside a brief-case and it really feels solid enough to endure life when driving. With its flap shut there are no forecasting components that may snap off and the plastic case is textured so it's less most likely to slip out of your hand, or show scrapes. Loosen the front flap and it pivots right back to develop the upright paper input tray. You can fit 20 sheets of empty paper in this tray and the printed web pages will certainly be passed straight out via a port at the front. There's no paper out tray, so make sure you position the printer on a clean table.
Aside from the power as well as battery power indicator LEDs, all of the controls and also the display screen are concealed and shielded by that verbalized flap. The screen is no larger than a shipping stamp, however it's complete colour as well as extremely helpful. It's not a touchscreen, so you'll require to utilize the cursor buttons beside it to select setups and input your Wi-Fi password. To put or access the inkjet print heads, you just lift up the inner flap like a cars and truck hood.
There are just 2 sockets situated at the left hand side and also they are for the power adapter and a mini USB cord. The USB cable television can transfer data and reenergize the battery when you don't have a keys power link and also the cable television is included in package. It's worth noting that the battery charges in 2.5 hrs through the mains as well as 10 hrs over USB. What you will not locate, as well as which would certainly have worked, is a memory slot or a USB port for a flash memory drive.
Features and specifications
Because the Epson Labor force WF-110 is basically a miniaturised colour inkjet printer, it uses more-or-less the same functionality as a full-size version. You can print by means of USB, Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct in mono or colour. You can publish on a range of media consisting of envelopes, A4 to A6-size simple paper and glossy photo paper of varying styles. It has a 3.7 centimeters screen for setting the paper kind as well as examining ink levels and it has a paper-in tray that can hold 20 sheets of paper.The one thing mobile printers can not seem to crack is paired printing. You'll have to turn the paper over yourself if you wish to print on both sides of the page. There are a couple of various other functions missing too. There's no NFC connectivity for instance as well as no ports for an SD Card, or USB thumb drive. There's no touchscreen either and also it can not print onto speciality media such as card, or parcel tag sheets.
It is able to print at a the surprisingly high resolution of 5,760 x 1,440 utilizing a Micro Piezo print head fitted with 180 nozzles for black ink as well as an additional 59 nozzles per colour. It will not print promptly though. 7 pages per minute is the priced quote page price in mono and that drops to 4ppm for colour. When you're making use of the battery that print price fifty percents once more to just 2ppm for colour pages.
When you download the totally free Epson iPrint buddy app you'll likewise be able to speak with your printer. If you enable voice-activated commands through the application's menu you can tell Siri, or Google Assistant to do things like 'publish the last picture I took, or 'show me my printer's ink levels.'
Setup and operation
The configuration directions are instead verbose due to the fact that they combine several languages on the very same page, but thankfully, you most likely will not need them. Setup is a simple situation of connecting in, switching on as well as inserting the inkjet cartridges (in that order). Encouraging the printer to join our Wi-Fi network took a bit longer since inputting the password by means of the small touchscreen is rather fiddly. Also, the vehicle drivers for this printer were not pre-installed on our MacBook, which suggested downloading them from the Epson web site.When you're on the internet as well as filled with paper, utilizing the Epson WorkForce WF-110 is very simple, thanks to the small, yet helpful colour display screen. Whenever you put brand-new paper, the display motivates you to pick the ideal media from a checklist. Thick envelopes didn't create an issue for the WF-110 as well as we experienced no paper jams or creased pages throughout the test. When we accessed it wirelessly from a laptop and a smart phone, the printer got up swiftly, although it publishes slowly.
Performance
On the whole, we were extremely amazed by the quality and precision of the examination web pages turned out by the Epson WorkForce WF-110. Mono message specifically appears to be uncompromised by the miniaturisation of this inkjet. Also at really little factor sizes, every character shows up dark and well delineated. With graphics and pictures too, the level of detail goes over for a portable printer. When it concerns completing block colour, nevertheless, the outcomes are less constant and also private colours are not as intense or brilliant as other inkjets.The use of pigment ink instead of dye makes printed pages more sturdy and also less most likely to smudge, which is a benefit on the road, however it does nothing to improve colour integrity in photographs. Thus, photos on picture paper show up sharp, however they also tend to have way too much magenta and do not have the coating attained by Epson's image printers.
The other thing you'll notice is how gradually this printer operates, especially when depending on battery power. Also the top speed of 7ppm for mono web pages hurts to watch, and with automobile duplex printing not a choice, we wouldn't advise this device for printing out long documents. You ought to additionally think about that the small inkjet cartridges are fairly costly, so you're per page expense is also going to be significantly more than regular-sized design.
