In today’s household, a home office is imperative to keep things operating smoothly. Especially households with children involved in activities, organization is key. Every office needs a printer, but what if you need more?

If you have always wanted a photo copy machine so you could make copies without running to the local copy center or to the library, have I found the office item that is a must have! The Epson WorkForce 610 Wireless Multifunction Photo Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax is an all in one that is truly a WorkForce all in itself.

It is Energy Star Qualified too! You can copy, scan, print or fax important documents with this multifunction printer that features built-in wireless 802.11b/g and Ethernet connectivity for easy integration into your home or office computer system.

Included in the package are the high-capacity ink cartridges needed and yes-they are separated! I love this feature…as without it, I wouldn’t buy another inkjet ever. Laser is the way to go, but this multifunction inkjet is out to prove laser lovers wrong.

Also included is a power cord, telephone cord, Software CD-ROM, and owner’s manual. At $199.99 at Springfield Best Buy, it’s worth every penny. It prints up to 38 pages per minute in black or color to generate documents quickly. It prints up to 15 pages per minute in black and 9.3 pages per minute in color for laser-quality documents and photos. Creates a 4” x 6” photo-quality print in as little as 18 seconds. It has a 2.5” LCD with tilting design. It prints up to 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi resolution for crisp, clear images.

It has built-in digital media card slots and supports Compact Flash, Microdrive, Memory Stick, x-D-Picture Card, etc. which is a time saver. Without having to log in to your computer and download files, you can print quickly right from your camera’s memory card. Perfect.

The flatbed scanner is fantastic. I do not like the feed type scanners. For one, you cannot scan the pages of a book that is still intact. And secondly, if you want to scan an heirloom family photo and the feed jams with your photo in it, it will get damaged. With the flatbed scanner, all of your worries are gone.

It has a 30-page auto document feeder which is convenient for those of you who have stacks of documents.
