Epson Workforce 845 Printer

The Epson Workforce 845
An all-in-one that lives up to its name



I have to say so far this printer is amazing. First off, it's wireless N, and it connects seamlessly to my network. It can also be connected via ethernet, as well as a USB connection to a PC for scanning purposes. The 7.8" touch panel with 3.5" LCD folds away when not in use. It has its own Epson email address, allowing me to email images or documents from anywhere and have them automatically print. It also is compatible with Epson's iPrint app for Android and iOS, which allows for printing documents, photos, web pages or anything from smart phones and tablets while on the wifi network.

It features auto-duplex, a huge time and paper saver. There are ports for memory cards and USB, allowing for direct print. Included in the software is a comprehensive OCR suite. The printer also comes with high-capacity ink cartridges ready to be installed. The auto document feeder closes up when not in use, keeping most of the dust out of the feeder mechanisms.

Image and color quality are fantastic, a huge improvement over the HP this printer replaced. And the Epson Workforce 845 is FAST.

And the best part? The price. I picked up mine for $99.99 at my local Microcenter. It's easily worth twice that. You can't beat this deal with a stick.
