After trying this printer I can tell you that it works flawlessly and the 30 page document feeder on top is great for scanning multiple pages. Below is a video where I will show you all the features of this device, also below are the technical specs and links to where you can get this all-in-one device. The Epson workforce 600 cost anywhere from $149.99 to $199.99.

Laser quality pages per minute (ppm) speeds measured after first page, based on black text patterns in default mode on plain paper. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speeds.
  • 3 We recommend the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of other products may affect your print quality and longevity and could result in all-in-one damage. Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “Replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The all-in-one ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. See www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo for more information about cartridges.

  1. Hello,

    I just purchased an Epson Workforce 610 all-in-one. I installed the software, however, I am having several problems. I was wondering if you could provide your expertise?

    Upon computer startup, a pop-up appears mentioning “EEvent Manager Application has stopped working…A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.” Also, another message when I try to open the event manager occurs “EProjManager Application has stopped working.” And finally, when I click on the Epson Scan icon on the desktop “EPSON Scan has stopped working” appears. I just bought the printer and was hoping for some suggestions. I am running this printer on wireless, and operating on Windows Vista. I was wondering if you have any suggestions Please email.
