New Epson Workforce WF7610

Well Black Friday can buggar off.... stuff is cheaper NOW than on the 'biggest' sales day of the year.

My HP7110 died (will, I killed it, really) and on my way back from Philly I was going to stop off at Staples and recycle it... so I drop it off and decide to look if they have the 7610 I wanted to buy on Black Friday for $179.99. Well they had it.. FOR $149.99!!! Reg $229.99.

So I figure WTF its 30% off and although I am not really going to do much screen printing over the winter its a good deal at this price.

So I pick it up. First, ITS HUGE. Second, the duplex ADF and printing IS FRACKING AWESOME!!!! It flawlessly scanned 10 pages of a new credit card agreement and made a perfect pdf doc of it. Its not the fastest ADF scanner... but compared to the HP I have it scans the pages STRAIGHT and did not jam or mis-pick.

So yeah.. HP can lick my balls. I'll NEVER buy another HP AIO or inkjet.

Now I just have to find a home for the Brother laser printer I have. I already ordered ink for the Epson and I think it will be my main printer from now on... mainly because I don't have the room for a laser on my desk anymore.

One thing that does suck.. the integrated web server pages are straight out of 1995. They get the job done, but look like hell.

Just scanned in the Sept 42 issue of AM.

The 11x17 scan bed means I can scan in BOTH PAGES at SAME TIME! Huge time saver over my EPSON flatbed. While the fastest scanner I had was the Brother 2880 AIO, the WF7610's ability to do both at the same time is awesome.
