Epson, a company mostly known for their printers, has recently shown off the new WorkForce 610 and WorkForce 1100 on Amazon.  In terms of similarity, both printers boast Wi-Fi connectivity (in order to be shared by computers), and the ability to fax documents directly from your computer.  If you only buy products that meet the energy star requirements, then you will be pleased to know both printers are eco-friendly and save power. 

Specifically, the Epson WorkForce 610 can print up to 38 ppm in both black & white and color.  For laser printing, black & white speeds are 15 ppm, and color is 9.3 ppm.  It allows for a 30 page Auto Document Feeder to conveniently scan, fax, or copy as many papers as you need.  Epson promises that the ink will never smudge.  I suppose if you print high quality documents very fast and handle it immediately they would smudge, but neither of these printers will allow that to happen. 

Meanwhile, the WorkForce 1100 is designed to print documents of any size in order to make your small business more productive.  It sacrifices printer speed but it is designed to save ink, thus saving you money in the long run.  In terms of printing speeds, it cranks out 30 ppm in black & white ink, while 17 ppm in color ink.  In addition, laser quality printing can achieve speeds of 13 ppm for black & white, while it reaches only 5.5 ppm in color ink. 

The Epson WorkForce 610 will be available in late August for $200, while the Epson WorkForce 1100 will be available in late September for the same price.
