EPSON WORKFORCE WF–110W

The perfect balance of portability and performance, it has everything you need in a mobile printer you can take anywhere.

Most people wanting truly mobile printing, meaning easy operation away from power or a network, probably need great text performance more than they do high-end photo reproduction. Of course you do want the ability to print in color too, which makes the MT800 rather limiting. And Canon’s Selphy is great fun for photos, but not really for text. The Tango X is ultra-modern and a very solid performer but lacks a battery, while the larger OfficeJet has a battery but is arguably not as portable as the others. Canon’s Pixma TR150 is also a strong contender but loses a little by not having a battery included in the box. Ultimately, Epson’s Workforce WF-110W gets the balance just right. It’s supremely portable with an integrated rechargeable battery that has good longevity and comes with flexible connectivity options and a nicely designed app. The onboard screen and controls make setup and operation a breeze, and black and white print quality is excellent, with colour certainly acceptable.
