I have seen and used many wide format printers. They all broke after a while or took like an hour to print a document, which ended up looking subpar. With the release of the WorkForce 1100 Wide Format printer from Epson, they are hoping that my expectations will finally be met. Aimed also at the small business crowd, the 1100 will print up to 13″x19″ documents at 30 ppm or 17 ppm in color. If you are looking for laser quality, it prints up to 13ppm in black and 5.5 ppm in color. This is indeed much faster than a lot of the competitors out there and for a decent price of only $199.99. I saw this printer in action a few weeks ago and I was mightily impressed. It is perfect for an independent printing company looking for a quick tabloid sized print or for real estate offices for floor-plan printing. The WorkForce 1100 will be available this month and will hit the Epson Store soon.
Update: You can now Pre-order the Epson WorkForce 1100 on Amazon today.
