Small and sleek is all good and well, but
it doesn't really inspire confidence as far as heavy workloads are concerned.
And neither should it - we think of small and sleek when we consider personal
devices, not work. So when you take the Epson WorkForce WF-7015 printer out of
its box, you won't be confused. This massive printer is designed to work hard.

WorkForce WF-7015
Part of Epson's new WorkForce range of
inkjet printers, the WF-7015 is perfect for businesses that have a fair share
of printing to do. It comes armed with dual paper trays and can produce a page
of black printing in around four seconds. That's fifteen black pages per
minute, and around five full colour in the same time period. The dual trays
will hold up to five hundred sheets of paper between the two, so you won't be
reloading paper all the time, either. And it prints A3 sheets, too.
All of that solidifies the fact that this
is a work-horse, perfect for a business network. It features Ethernet and Wi-Fi
connectivity, too, and makes use of long lasting Durabrite Ultra inks.
It's work place focus is further enhanced
by the fact that this device is a printer, and nothing more. It is made for
printing, and eschews faxing, scanning and copying in favour of reliable print
performance. Another aspect that makes it great for the work place is that it
is extremely simple to use - even the office village idiot will be fine using
it. The interface on the printer itself features ink level warnings and very
simple controls.
Epson
have, in this printer, created a viable workplace inkjet alternative.
The performance that the WF-7015 delivers
is great. It is quick and efficient, which forms part of the direction that
Epson is taking with this range of printers. It's faster than a laser-jet,
which many companies opt for, and the durable inks mean that prints last longer
and are less resistant to things like liquid spills (one of the reasons why
inkjets aren't very popular in the work place). In addition, it uses individual
colour cartridges, which work out to be more economical in the long run.
Epson have, in this printer, created a
viable workplace inkjet alternative. The lack of multiple functions to take a
little appeal way from the device but, then again, focussed devices are
preferred by many. The large paper load, A3 capabilities and economic operation
of this device make sense, but it does belong in the kind of environment that
would require this type of device. It is not compact at all, and an office that
needs scanning and copying as well will need even more space, because the
WF-7015 won't provide those. But if you have the right kind of environment, and
require a printer that will breeze through a heavy work-load effortlessly, it's
a strong contender.
