Manufacturer’s Description
Make your business look its best with brilliant color output from the Epson WorkForce 600 all-in-one. Why waste money on a laser printer when you can get so much more for less, including the ability to wirelessly print and archive critical documents, or fax stacks of originals in seconds. Because time is money, the WorkForce 600 races through every task. In fact, it's about two times faster printing documents than leading competitive models.1 And, it uses up to three times less energy than a laser printer.
