Epson’s smallest printer comes with inbuilt

Wi-Fi and a lithium-ion battery that you can

charge over USB for true portability. It’s

aimed at the business user and in this case,

the road warrior. It can handle paper sizes

from A4 to a DL envelope, and can also print

on glossy photo paper. At 7ppm, it doesn’t

claim to print quickly, but it does promise

decent print quality thanks to a high print

resolution of 5,760 x 1,440. The use of

pigment ink as opposed to dye also helps to

deliver durable, smudge–resistant pages.

The Epson WorkForce WF–110 replaces the

almost identical WF–100, at a lower price

point. The only new feature is the external

companion battery (sold separately) that

extends its possible print run to 360 pages on

a single charge — 410 pages in total.

It’ll slip inside a briefcase and its strong

enough to survive life on the road. You can

print via USB or wirelessly, in mono or color.

There’s no duplex printing, so you’ll have to

turn the paper over yourself if you want to

print on both sides of the page. There are a

few other features missing too, such as no

NFC connectivity and no ports for an SD

Card, or USB drive. And there’s no

touchscreen either.

We were very impressed by the clarity and

precision of the test pages — mono text in

particular appears to be uncompromised.

The level of detail is impressive with

graphics and photos too. When it comes to

less consistent and individual colors are not

as bright or vivid as other inkjets.

THE BOTTOM LINE. Perfect for printing

where there might not be power, but its slow

print rate and expensive per–page cost

means its only for road warriors. JIM HILL

The slow print speed and

per–page cost means this

won’t replace your home

inkjet any time soon.
