Speed and Quality
Epson understands that your small business develops ideas quickly and you don't have time to wait for a printer to catch up. You need to move quicker than your competitors and the new WorkForce line of printers and all-in-ones allow you to do just that, while giving you the flexibility, versatility and productivity you need. These powerful products offer laser quality documents that are about two times faster than the leading competitors1, which means you don't have to wait around for your prints anymore. With the WorkForce line of products, your business will not only produce high quality material, but also save time and boost your productivity.
Faster Than The Competition
Based on independent testing, printing typical office type document in default mode, the WorkForce printers and all-in-ones stood out from the competition. In this particular case, you can see that the WorkForce 600 is about 2x faster than the competitive models listed1:
This is laser-quality mode, out of the box, producing high quality documents at twice the speed! But speed is only half the story. Epson stands for quality and is the brand of choice by the professional photographers who understands and expects the highest quality output.

Vibrant Colors and Laser Quality Text
In addition to laser quality at laser speeds, the WorkForce line allows you to do something traditional monochrome lasers can't— convincing charts and graphs in vibrant color as well as client-ready photos. You will be able to get the edge over your competition by incorporating vivid colors and lab quality photos into your brochures, presentations, flyers, signs, and documents. In addition, do more by adding on the flexibility to scan, copy and fax— all with one compact machine.

Not only is the WorkForce line comparable to the speed and quality of a laser printer, it's more energy efficient. It uses up to 3 times less energy than a laser printer2, allowing you to save energy where you can. At Epson, we know that planning for the future requires a strong commitment to our environment. That is why we make innovative products that are reliable, recyclable, and energy efficient. Better products that use fewer resources help ensure a better future for us all.
