Epson WorkForce 600 Wireless All-in-One Printer (Black) (C11CA18201) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sleek, capable AIO with some Wireless freedom
Comment: Right to the details...

^+++ The Pros +++^
+ All Black color in satin and flat finishes. Very sleek
+ Control Panel, Feed Tray, Output Tray and ADF Tray can all be closed-in and adjusted so the entire unit is just a simple cube. Makes for very easy transportation and stowing away.
+ Wireless-G networking built-in.
+ RJ45 Ethernet is also built-in if you don't want WiFi
+ Automatic Document Feeder built-in
+ Flash Memory Card reader (xD, MS Pro, SD and CF) built-in
+ Flash Memory Card reader can be shared out over the wireless network
+ Snappy print speed
+ Excellent color rendition and detail
+ Uses a standard computer power cable (if lost, easily replaceable)

^--- The Cons ---^
- Printing from the printer directly, Photos are auto-scaled to fit the page size. If you scan a baseball card and have 8x10 letter paper, the printer will blow-up the image to fill the paper.
- From the unit being off to the first printed page can be a few minutes
- Scanner lid doesn't have tension-stay springs. Which means you'll have to either use 1 hand to hold the lid up, or prop it up with something while placing documents for scanning

^*** Comments ***^
This AIO unit is an excellent choice for; solid performance in a sleek yet compact package that can be easily moved around and/or stowed away.

I live in a less-than 1,200sq/ft Condo, so space is scarce. This Epson AIO seems to have been built specifically for people like me. Your typical AIO requires being plugged in to the network which means it needs dedicated space that could have been used for something else.

But because of it's built-in Wifi and when all the feeders and trays and such are compacted down, the Epson becomes a nomadic cube that can be easily stowed away. When it's needed, but there's no particular available place to put it, then WiFi gives it the ability to be used in non-conventional places...Like on the coffee table, kitchen counter, heck even on the bed.

This is an excellent choice if you're someone that's tight on space, but still want a sleek and well capable All-In-One system.

Summary: A good printer at last
Comment: I seem to go through printers at a remarkable pace. Because of this, I've used a lot of them. With rare exceptions each has had one or more serious drawbacks and each has eventually broken down with my normal use.

When I first heard of the Epson WorkForce 600 it sounded too good to be true and the list price was a little discouraging. When I found that Amazon offered it at a substantial discount, I decided to order it. The printer shipped promptly and was easy to set up. I was dismayed, however, to discover that there were no ink cartridges in the shipment. Assuming that this explained the good price offered by Amazon, I called and was given both an apology and instructions for shipping the printer back so I could receive a replacement. While preparing the printer for shipment, I discovered the ink cartridges carefully encased in one of the pieces of packing material.

I fired off an email to Amazon profusely apologizing and they kindly thanked me without accusing me of being a klutz. The printer, copier, fax is outstanding. It is fast, efficient and easy to use. I'm a believer.

Summary: Workforce 600, Good value for the money
Comment: Overall, I rate this as a great value for the price. It does a good job of printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. The controls are straight forward and easy to figure out. I have it on a wireless network and had no problem setting it up and it works well. It scans and copies fairly fast and with good quality. The ink cartridges last as advertised and are not too inexpensive. It has a separate cartridge for each color which is something I recommend you always have to save on waste.
It does a good job on pictures, although I have a photo printer that I use for things that I want the quality to be very high.
Color print quality on documents is good and text-document mixes come out very nice. I do a lot of form and brochure design and am very pleased with the quality.

The only things that I have to say on the down side are:
I am a little concerned with the tray that holds the print outs. It is a little flimsy, and due to the size of the printer and the location I have it in, it sticks out and could break off if bumped hard. It also is a little loud.
The tray at the rear can be a little touchy to get the paper in correctly so it does not mis-feed. (The tray is at a very steep vertical angle and you have to get the paper in correctly, and be sure to fan it before loading)

I would recommend it to anyone on a budget that wants a solid multi-purpose for home or home office use.

Summary: Epson WorkForce 600
Comment: I have had many multifunction printers over the course of time and this one seems to be doing a decent job. It was slightly difficult to install because it kept on saying there was a paper jam when there had never been any paper inserted. After numerous restarts, it finally completed the install process. It was a consistent problem, since I had bought 2 and it happened in both of them. It appears to use black ink fairly quickly. It does print and scan fast, but it is very noisy. I have not used all the functions yet, so I will add to this review later after I have put more mileage on the machine. I have not yet hooked it up wirelessly as the directions were above my comprehension level.
