Ted on Tech: Sometimes bigger is better
Sometimes bigger is better when it comes to technology, as discussed by Ted Needleman in his article on Accounting Today. While there is a trend towards making things smaller, such as PCs and grocery items, Needleman highlights the importance of larger printers in his workflow. He shares his experience with using Epson printers, specifically praising the WorkForce Pro for its ability to print oversized pages up to 13 x 19 inches. Despite downsizing into an apartment and giving away his large format printer, Needleman found himself missing the capabilities of the WorkForce Pro for printing large spreadsheets without having to tape pages together.
Epson offered Needleman the ET-16600 as a replacement, which is an EcoTank printer with high-capacity ink tanks for each color. The printer offers impressive yields for both black and color pages, along with fast print speeds. The ET-16600 also features two print drawers for letter or 11 x 17 inch paper, as well as a rear paper feed for larger paper up to 13 x 19 inches. Despite its size and weight, the ET-16600 is a multifunctional printer capable of printing, copying, scanning, and faxing. Needleman highlights the wide-format capabilities of the ET-16600 and acknowledges that not everyone may require such features, but for those who do, it is a good choice.
Overall, Needleman emphasizes the benefits of larger printers for specific tasks, such as printing oversized pages and spreadsheets, and recommends considering the ET-16600 for those who need wide-format capabilities. While the price tag may be a deterrent for some, Epson offers other EcoTank printers that are more affordable and still provide similar multifunctional capabilities.
