If you have a lot of printing going on in your house, you’ll be replacing them pretty often, so you may want to opt for XL tanks. The four-color machine uses standard cartridges (number 220) that yield approximately 175 pages in black and 165 pages in color. While the WF-2660 has the typical features one would expect from an MFP, where it’s lacking is in the standard cartridge yield. The downside is its small-yield standard ink cartridges – opt for the XL tanks. Unless you make or fax a lot of copies, the numeric keypad is mostly useless for everyday printing. While the touchscreen is easy to navigate, it doesn’t support the swiping gestures many of us have gotten used to with our smartphones and tablets rather, you need to use a combination of screen taps to scroll through menus, which can be disorienting until you get used to it. Most of the unit’s functions are accessed via the touchscreen. To the right it is a numeric keypad and the various buttons for making copies, as well as reset and stop. The control panel has a 2.7-inch color touchscreen. On the top there is an automatic document feeder (ADF), but this particular feature doesn’t duplex. The input tray has a capacity for 150 sheets of letter size paper it’s not a lot, but the printer supports automatic duplexing (two-sided printing). The paper drawer is located at the very bottom, and it’s designed in a way that we found it just a little awkward to load, due to output tray that’s located directly above. Extending the output tray adds another 5 inches to the depth.īut the small size impacts both the control panel and paper drawer. Unlike the WF-3640 we last looked at, the WF-2660 is smaller at 16.7 x 14.2 x 9.1 inches, and almost half as lightweight at 14.6 pounds. The process is far more technical, but essentially the technology offers faster print speeds and better colors than conventional printheads. With a larger number of nozzles than Epson’s other printheads, PrecisionCore allows for a greater print density of smaller ink droplets to produce a larger color gamut (number of printable colors), and the smaller droplets speeds up drying time. Features and designĪs mentioned, the four-function WF-2660 (print, copy, scan, fax) is one of Epson’s less expensive models with PrecisionCore. The WF-2660 is attractive for those looking for an affordable printer that can churn out a lot of copies. Plus, photo-quality prints can be achieved when using the appropriate paper. Most home AIOs meant don’t even bother quoting a duty cycle. When you compare the WF-2660 to typical all-in-ones (AIO) for home use, however (like Epson’s Expression series), you get a heavy-duty print cycle (Epson rates the WF-2660 with a maximum duty cycle of 3,000 pages, although it also notes that 800 pages per month is a more realistic print load). PrecisionCore allows for a greater print density to produce a larger color gamut, as well as faster drying times.
