There are several models of Epson multifunction printers on the market. The Japanese company is one of those that, in recent years, has invested more in this type of printers that are now more and more widespread and not only in large offices.
On the other hand, the relatively contained or otherwise sustainable price, the possibility to save space, work optimization, print quality, and a single tool that allows you to print, manage faxes and make photocopies, in addition to scanning, is also used from freelancers and entrepreneurs.
The different models of color MFPs of the Japanese company are adapted to every need: there are those from scans and copies for high volumes, or that ideal for advanced color printing. There are models that also have color faxes and others that have an additional print drawer.
As the options change, the dimensions also change: there are smaller models, ideal for domestic use, and for smaller offices, as well as multifunction printers that take up a lot more space and have to find a place dedicated to them.
Epson Printers: The Main Features
First of all, let’s look at the printing system: the most frequently used multi-function pads are ink or laser. There are models for needle printing, perfect for offices that still use large amounts of ink and print on continuous forms, and large-format printers, ideal for advertising jobs.
Between inkjet and laser printers, there is not much difference, apart from print quality, speed, and running costs. For limited use, we recommend inkjet printers: the characteristics are the same as laser ones, but the costs of handling cartridges are certainly more limited.
On the other hand, laser printers have fast, high-quality printing, reliability and effectiveness, the possibility of double-sided printing, as well as ease of management thanks to the rapid Ethernet connectivity with which the instrument is shared with different work units.
Also, the latest generation of printers are equipped with Wi-Fi, and you can print from mobile, whether it is a tablet or your smartphone. All models are equipped with an LCD touch screen to set the various options, check the toner or cartridge level and print level.
The features are many and vary a lot from a model to model so, after having made this first overview, it is convenient to deepen the topic, subdividing the models among those recommended for the office, for the home and those for those who love photography who expect a more than perfect resolution.
