Digital camera reviews of Epson WorkForce 610 Wireless Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer (C11CA50201)

Digital camera Review: "Compatible With Windows 7!" A Solid WiFi Printer
Summary: 5 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My first WiFi printer was HP's J6480, which became a frustrating lesson in why the "Certified for Windows" label is important! Vista was just released and I didn't pay attention to the fact that particular HP printer didn't have the "Certified for Vista" label. Sadly, the printer drivers crashed my internet connection, caused blue screens, and a "web printing" plug-in made Internet Explorer unstable. Long story short, I ended up selling the HP printer and buying the "Certified for Vista" Epson Workforce 600 which worked like a dream!

The Epson Workforce 610 is a minor iteration of the already excellent Workforce 600 with its pict bridge port, versatile memory card slots, fast print speeds and color LCD screen, but the 610 does have a few worthwhile improvements. The first major distinction is that the 610 has the official "Compatible With Windows 7" label which is huge if you're buying a computer with Windows 7 or upgrading! Chances are that most "Vista Compatible" printers will work with Windows 7 because the guts of the operating systems are so similar, but buying this printer lets you know for certain that you're buying something that works.

As far as other improvements, standby power usage was trimmed from 5.5 to 2.9 Watts, and the user interface and ease of installation improved slightly, though according the the spec sheet, print speed actually decreased a little bit. I don't mind, however. Unless you print large quantities of long, detailed documents, chances are you won't be able to tell the difference, and the increased energy efficiency makes up for it.

As with most Epson printers, a glaring advantage over the competition is the individual color print cartridges, which allow you to make the most of your ink by swapping out individual cyan, blue and magenta cartridges instead of one big "color" cartridge as with other brands.

The biggest disadvantage compared to competing printers is the top-loading paper tray which I don't like as much a front-loading enclosed tray, and the weak implementation of two-sided printing which is little more than one sided printing where you reload the pages into the paper tray for a second pass. For those features, I give the tip of the hat to HP's closest competitor to the Workforce 610: the Vista-compatible OfficeJet 6500, which has a better paper tray and two-sided printing capability.

Overall this is a great all-in-one printer! The energy efficiency and proven compatibility with Windows 7 make it a strong choice for those looking for a solid, good performing WiFi printer.
