I AM IMPRESSED

Pros: 7.8-inch touch-screen display with a 3.5-inch color LCD High Capacity Ink Cartridges INCLUDED Functionality Dual Paper Trays Relatively Compact Size based on Multi-Function Capability Relatively Lightweight Two-Sided Printing Two-Sided Scan and Copy Wireless iPhone and iPad Printing Connect Email Print Application Cons: Less than perfect text alignment (may be related to print speed) Average photo speed and quality Auto Document Feeder does not resize to fit small 4x6-inch photo paper I just installed my WorkForce 845. Thusfar, it has exceeded my expectations. The workmanship, design, quality, are all superior. Setup was simple, and excellent instructions are provided. It literally took less than two minutes to be fully-functional. Four high-capacity ink cartridges are included! This is a real bonus compared to competitors. The test page printed very well. I sent a FAX successfully. I also scanned a document with no problems whatsoever. I particularly like the relatively small size and light weight, based on competitor's machines with similar functions. It is designed with the user in mind. The front panel even tilts upward to make it easier to see the 7.8-inch touch-screen display with a 3.5-inch color LCD. Connecting through Wi-Fi also means you can take advantage of Epson's host of free mobile printing apps that let you print directly from mobile devices. Connect Email Print lets you send a print job directly to a unique e-mail address assigned to every WorkForce 845 printer. This means you can attach anything to an e-mail and send it to the printer's e-mail address, and the print job will be waiting for you in the output tray when you arrive home. Anyone can use the e-mail address, and we can imagine it could come in handy for remote workers hoping to share information with the home office. I have noticed less than perfect text alignment, but I believe it may be related to the extremely quick print speed. Photos take much longer to print and are of average quality. If you are looking for high-quality photo printing, this may not be the perfect machine for you. However, if you are looking for high-efficiency features like an autodocument feeder, an autoduplexer, and less expensive ink cartridges then this machine may be just what you are looking for. I would highly recommend it for a small office environment.

I like the printer. Setup was easy. Print quality is acceptable. The duplex function is great. However, there is a serious flaw in the drivers/default paper source. Tray 2 is for plain paper only, tray 1 is for plain paper/envelopes/photo paper. Everything in the drivers defaults to tray 1. Printing from Ipod defaults to tray 1. Copying defaults to tray 1. So, it is impossible keep tray 1 loaded with photo paper and tray 2 loaded with plain paper. I tried that. My kids school reports keep burning up my photo paper by accident. Epson-please provide a fix for this issue! I will change my rating to 5 stars if there is new firmware and drivers to fix this issue.

Received the printer two hours ago. Setup was a little slow but without issues. Has printed quickly and without any problems. Seems to be a great MFP. Would like a more user friendly control suite on my desk top. A great buy

trouble printing via wifi

By lori

from oakland, ca

Comments about Epson C11CB92201:

i convinced my boss to get this printer thinking it'll be better than what we currently have. but it doesn't print well double-sided on a wifi, it has to be connected via cable directly to my computer which is a hassle. it always gives me "error in printing" which ends up incomplete page print out in a wifi. we bought 2 but i wished we just bought one. good print quality though, it's not for small business, it's more like for home office use.

Comments about Epson C11CB92201:

I have 3 different Epson Printers, and LOVE THEM! I have owned 2 other brands, which worked "ok," but the quality construction and printing abilities did not even compare to my Epsons. Epson. Proof that a printer doesn't have to be expensive to be good.

Much better than the 610. Love that it does double sided and other features. Bought mainly because of the archival inks as I print a lot of photo's.
