Epson WorkForce WF-100 Wireless Mobile Printer and T215 Standard-capacity Black Ink Cartridge

Purchased this in September 2016, and for the first time yesterday had to change both color and black ink. (Note the machine makes you change Both at the same time, if you only change one the machine wont work) this bothered me, as I know there was still color ink, and the machine would not work with just a new black ink. Once i replaced both was fine. The machine tells you when the ink needs to be changed. My printer is now saying "maintence box needs ro be changed soon" so I just ordered this today (another $10 dollars). We probably print 5-10 sheets per Week. Quality is excellent. Very light weight. Prints easily from iPhone, iPad. Ink is pricey, and I believe should have lasted longer.

The reviews seemed to indicate that print quality is subpar. But I found for printing documents the print quality is better than my larger Epson multifunction which is from their photo printer range. Yes Im shocked. The difference I found is that the larger Epson has overspray that makes letters fuzzy, where this mobile printer does. That said I increased the density setting by one on the WF-100 where I found the default yielded anemic looking results. Once increased the mixed text / graphic output is really quite good. The printer was purchased specifically for use on the run (e.g. printer should have been provided, but there simply put isnt one there). Its size and weight is very manageable. That said I have found if it is unused for a week or two, when you plug it in to recharge, the charge time is rather long. This suggests that the self discharge is higher than expected. Using the WiFi is annoying and somewhat complex. At times I just plug in the USB cable and dont bother with the WiFi. This is especially true if I need to use my laptops WiFi connected to a random public Wifi and dont want to switch back and forth (actually cant).

This printer performs as stated in the advertising. Connectivity via the various Epson applications is not difficult. Be advised that when one uses the WiFi direct mode to connect to the printer that the connection to the Internet will be lost (This has to be qualified... If the device with the browser is not on the same network as the printer). If one needs to print a web page then using cloud services is probably the best method. Also be advised that when using the cloud services one can use the Epson printer app with ease. The process requires one to print to the cloud service and then select the Epson printer app which will locate the service and then print to your printer using WiFi direct. This problem might better have been solved by the printer having Bluetooth RF for connectivity to the tablet or cell phone. The link would then be transparent (given the use of Near Field technology). The only other issue is that the Lithium Ion battery. This type of battery is typically only good for about 500 charge cycles. If this printer requires extensive use and recharging then it would require service by Epson to change the battery. Having a replaceable battery would have solved this problem. So if you are in the market for a portable printer with good (not excellent ) features this might be the one for you.

We are RVERS who spend about half the year on the road. Bought this printer to take along. Use it rarely. Has worked fine except for one thing. Most every campground has some form of wifi, mostly pretty poor. The setup to use this printer wirelessly will drive you to drink if every wifi is different. Only way we can use it is with usb hokum and our Samsung tablet has no usb port. Finally bought a regular laptop to take and works fine .
