Compact and light but very slow

Right here we now have certainly one of Epsons smallest Inkjet printers in the marketplace – The WF-110. This compact mannequin is marketed in direction of these in want of a transportable answer, probably supreme when you have little to no room at dwelling or enterprise vacationers who print from cell. This light-weight mannequin wants very particular circumstances to be beneficial however for those who match that area of interest, this can be the one for you. It’s wi-fi, contains a 1.5″ LCD, and may accommodate quite a lot of totally different dimension paper however its principal downfall is pace and lack of versatility.

What’s within the field & preliminary setup

The setup is as simple as every other Wifi printer, there is no such thing as a actual want for the included directions. The black and tri-color ink cartridges are included providing you with that CYMK print. The LCD makes connecting to the wifi a bit simpler than others however the display screen is sort of small so some might battle. The paper feeder flips up and you might be good to go however bear in mind there is no such thing as a tray on your prints. Everytime you feed in recent paper it checks to see what the scale and sort is, one thing I discovered useful when switching between commonplace A4 and picture paper.

Design

The USP of the WF-110 is its compact dimension, with dimensions of 309‎ x 159 x 61 mm it can match nearly anyplace. At this dimension, it may possibly simply slot in most baggage, tucked away below your automotive seat, and simply transported. Moreover, additionally it is sufficiently gentle (1.6 kg), making it a extremely beneficial possibility for many who want a printer on the street. This printer contains a pretty excessive decision of 5,760 x 1,440 and makes use of a Micro Piezo print head that delivers pretty good prints for its dimension.

One other key characteristic of this printer is its battery pack. The WF-110 can run on mains energy or wirelessly – therefore why it’s a really perfect answer for these on the street. The battery life is nothing particular however it’s rated for about 50 prints at full cost, which might in all probability be greater than sufficient to rattle out the odd bill in your travels. It’s price mentioning that there’s an possibility to purchase an exterior battery for the WF-110 for those who want as much as 410 further prints.

Total, the WF-110 is pretty strong and the hinged lid not solely protects the printer a bit bit however doubles up because the paper feed tray. The paper capability is sort of low at 20 common sheets however contemplating who that is marketed in direction of it isn’t actually a destructive. Beneath the “bonnet”, you will see that the navigation panel and accompanying show.

Show

The show is a meager 1..5″ however hey it’s a tiny printer. It isn’t probably the most handy LCD I’ve seen on a printer and there are not any adjustment choices but it surely does its job properly sufficient. It isn’t a touchscreen as it’s in all probability a bit too small for that however the navigation buttons work quite a bit higher than some standard-sized dwelling printers I’ve examined just like the ET-2850.

Printing outcomes & pace

Due to the high-resolution and pigment-based cartridges the general printing outcomes got here out fairly crisp and vibrant. Earlier than I contact on pace, it’s price mentioning that picture printing was lackluster on this mannequin, even for a 4-ink answer however you wouldn’t be shopping for this for pictures anyway. sadly, there’s a 20-sheet restrict within the feeder and there’s no auto duplexing, which as a doc printer might be a difficulty for some. Whereas fantastic for testing, the cartridges are fairly small and comparatively costly ( 250 mono / 200 colour ) so the working prices are going to be fairly excessive with this.

Pace is that this printer’s main concern however for some, the good thing about comfort might outweigh this downside. Rated for a max print pace of 7ppm I discovered it to be significantly slower with my check paperwork. For my commonplace go-to BW doc, this took 80 seconds to print three pages, this went as much as 100 seconds for a similar doc in colour. Photograph printing took a big period of time, with a 6×4 print taking 309 seconds and an A5 picture print taking 390 seconds. It’s price stating you’ll be able to anticipate print instances to take almost twice as lengthy when working wirelessly.
