As mentioned, you can connect it to your PC or Mac using a USB cable, but the WF-110W can also connect to a W-Fi network, or use a feature called WiFi Direct to make a direct connection to a specific computer or mobile device when you're away from your normal office network. There's a single paper tray that can hold 20 sheets of A4 paper, as well as smaller paper sizes and envelopes. It's not a multifunction printer, though, so it doesn't include a scanner or copier as well. The printer itself is fairly conventional, using a four-colour inkjet mechanism with 5760x1440dpi resolution. Some cars and vans now have USB ports on the dashboard, which may be able to charge the printer too. It takes longer to fully charge the battery via USB - almost 10 hours - but if you only need to print a few pages when visiting a client then you'll probably be able to connect the WF-110W to your laptop for a quick top-up without draining the laptop's battery too much. There's a small power supply unit included with the printer, but it also has an internal battery that should last long enough to print around 50 pages.Įpson says that it takes about 2.5 hours to charge the battery using mains power, but right next to the power sockets you'll find a micro-USB port, which can be used both for printing and for charging the battery.

It's very light too, weighing only 1.6kg, so it's about as light and portable as many laptops. The emphasis, of course, is on portability and the WF-110W measures just 309mm wide, 154mm deep and 61mm thick.


If you do need a compact and portable printer that you can carry around with you then Epson's new WF-110W is certainly a good choice - albeit a rather expensive one. There may also be some people who are a bit tight for space when working from home, and who might prefer a compact printer that doesn't need a whole desk to itself. But, of course, there are many important jobs that still need to be done, and which often involve travelling from location to location. This is probably not the best time to be launching a portable printer, while we're all being encouraged to work at home whenever possible.
