Opt for the XXL/XL cartridges and you’d be paying almost as much as the printer itself at around £118 (or less than 2p per page).Īll these prices are RRP though which means that there’s some leeway for some serious savings. Note that the WF-7210DTW can also do borderless printing although we recommend using higher quality, heavier pages.Īs expected, a set of original ink cartridges is relatively onerous at just under £45 (or 3.3p per page). Colours were punchier, more vibrant and had more oomph compared to the equivalent colour laser print. Obviously, paper quality will play a role, especially when printing full colour pages.Įven there, there was no banding or artefacts in lighter colours on our office quality 80gsm paper. Smaller ink drops meant crisp black text without perceptible smudges. The print quality is more than decent thanks to Epson’s PrecisionCore technology. Batch colour printouts of A3 sheets will not dry instantly which means that it is advisable to remove them to prevent kinking. Our set of prints (16 in all) took on average 76 seconds (from pressing the print button to the sheet being dropped in the tray). We printed a series of full size A3 pictures at the highest definition (which is unsurprisingly labelled as high definition) and stands at 4,800 x 2,400dpi there are two other default print settings but the driver offers a wealth of settings to be changed should you want to do so. Speaking of the paper, we used standard 80gsm stock for our tests be careful with even the slightest dog-earing of your paper sheet as we found out that this printer is quite finicky when it comes to paper handling. You will need to install drivers to detect the A3 paper default Windows drivers only showed a tiny fraction of the range of paper that the WF-7210DTW supports. Its maximum duty cycle is 20,000 pages per month with the recommended duty cycle being between 2 pages per month. In draft mode, the WF-7210DTW has a rated speed of 32 pages per minute in mono and 20 pages per minute in colour.
The printer can also do automatic duplex, reaching up to 8.7 ppm in mono and 6 ppm in colour. The printer offers USB, Ethernet, NFC and wireless connectivity (Epson Connect) for direct and remote printing we used the first one for our test.Įpson rates the printer at 18 pages per minute for monochrome and 10 pages per minute for colour using the widely available ISO/IEC 24734 test, which is a table, chart and graph heavy document.
