Epson WorkForce 1100 Printer Review

Conclusions

If you want to be able to tackle any print project from index card to poster and you have the room, this printer will be perfect. When put on a sturdy stand, it can handle any size print with aplomb.

Since the printer is very large and must be attached to your computer with a USB cable, you will want to make sure that you have room next to your computer and a sturdy stand before you purchase it. A USB cable is not included, but because of the size of this printer you may want to purchase a longer than usual USB cable.

If your space can accommodate it, you will not be disappointed in the print quality, durability of the prints, and quality of the output. Although it is not marketed as a photo printer, the photo print quality rivals some photo printers.

At a retail price of USD 199, the WorkForce 1100 would be an excellent purchase for businesses looking to produce large format brochures or booklets without a large investment in hardware. Home users who do a lot of printing and want to move into larger sized prints, will also find the 1100 more than suitable. Its print speed will also please.

In our testing the WorkForce 1100 turned out to be a real work horse. It is no wimp in any area, even photo printing. That’s what makes it such a good all around printer.
