Hands-On Test Report, Photos, and Video: Epson’s WorkForce WF-7610 ‘True’ Large-Format All-in-One
“This ‘true’ A3 AiO provided exemplary performance throughout our Hands-On Test. For those of you that may want or need to print on A3+ media, this AiO is perfectly suited for dedicated use in homes, very low volume A3+ commercial applications, and for use by micro- and small-workgroups in offices and companies that require an A3 device to supplement their A4 printers.” — Terry Wirth, President of Wirth Consulting
The Epson WorkForce WF-7610’s claim to fame is that it’s a “true” large-format color inkjet All-in-One (AiO) as it: has an A3/11″x17″-size flatbed platen; document feeder that can automatically duplex-scan originals as large as A3/11″x17″; can automatically duplex print media as large as A3/11″x17″; and can produce (border-less) prints as large as A3+/Super B/13″x19″.
Other key features include a 4.3″ color touch screen, full-color capability in all modes (print, copy, scan, fax), Wi-Fi direct printing, 802.11b/g/n wireless networking, wired Ethernet network interface, LDAP address look-up, Epson Connect mobile- and remote-printing and scanning, and Kindle Fire, Apple AirPrint, and Google Cloud Print mobile printing. It also features optional high-capacity 252XL high-capacity ink cartridges that are rated to yield up to 1,100 ISO pages each, as well as an optional 254XL Extra High-capacity black ink cartridge that yields up to 2,200 ISO pages .
