My Opinion
They sent me one to review a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE IT. I’ve had a hard time finding a color printer that (a) I can afford, (b) works with my Mac, and (c) works wirelessly with the five computers in my house while (d) producing high-quality printed pages. Seriously, best printer ever. I also like that it’s energy efficient and that you can print photos directly from your camera or a memory card.
Also, no joke, the pages are like waterproof. It said so in the materials and I was all, "WHATEVER!" but then I printed a photo (of myself, because I’m a dork) and ran it under water for a whole minute and rubbed it with my hand and the ink didn’t even smudge. It’s like seriously magical. (Well, I’m sure it’s not SERIOUSLY magical, but it sure seems it.)
How to Win
If you want one of these amazing, possibly magical Epson WorkForce 600 All-in-One Color Inkjet Printers, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post saying whether you currently use an inkjet, a laser printer, or (gasp!) a dot matrix printer, or if you just don’t have a printer at all. Make sure the e-mail address you provide is valid.
The deadline is Monday, October 20, at 11:59:59 p.m. ET.
The Fine Print
Rules and regs for the contest:
- Comments like, "Give it to me!" or "I want to win!" ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. You have to answer the question.
- One entry per person, and yes, I do check IP addresses to remove duplicates.
- Biz Dudes are just as eligible to enter as Biz Chicks. I and my husband are the only people not eligible to enter. Everyone else, including my co-blogger, can enter and win.
- Comments must be received by Monday, October 20, at 11:59:59 p.m. ET.

This would be fantastic! I’ll share it on my blog as well…even though I want to have all the entries to myself! LOL
I use an inkjet - the one that came free with my computer. It is a total pos though, so I haven’t been able to justify buying a new ink cartridge. I do not have a scanner, though, so if I win, that will be the major advantage for me!
Mine’s an HP Deskjet All-In-One…I don’t know what that means? Inkjet? Laser? Anyone?! :)
I use a Brother laserjet printer but it has nowhere near the features this Epson has. Would be sweet to win one. :-)
Well, I use an HP printer/scanner. But I would SO like something new with fax capability! :) (hint, hint)
Seriously, awesome contest! It’s great for us work-from-home writers.
I use a Canon inkjet, but I could stand to step my game up :) I will post a link this on Talk Stock Trading.
I currently use an inkjet printer, but it is getting on its years and is beginning to eat my paper! A new printer would be great!
I use a laser printer and an inkjet to get all of my business done. Laser when it just has to be functional, inkjet when I need color or pictures copied.
Wow, this sounds very impressive! I don’t have a printer myself, but the one that we currently use at work (a small business- vet clinic) is laser.
OOOOOOOOH, this would be so loverly for my biz!!! Thanks for the contest.
I have an older printer that is not compatible with my new laptop, which is terrible because I am a full-time student and have to print a lot of reports and research papers. I hope I will win this because I am tired of driving to the university every time I need to print something:)
I use an inkjet, but it’s already broken once.
I use a laser and inkjet, but I’d love to replace that inkjet!
I use an inkjet, I suppose. There are some pencils stuck in it, who knows if it is working lol.
I have several printers: (1)A color laserjet, which I use for “serious” business printing. It prints great stuff but its cartridges are very expensive ($80) so I don’t use it much. (2)An “all in one” printer which doesn’t work with my MAC, so I just use it to make copies. I need this printer, because I need to be able to scan and fax documents.
Thanks for offering these, Kristen.
I am printer-less!
I’m currently on the hunt for a printer, as I sadly do not have one… And I’m learning it’s hard to work from home without one!
I have an ink-guzzler! It’s a HP photosmart I think it’s an ink jet but it sure wastes ink like nothing else so i rarely use it. I’ve been looking for an inkjet that copies more than 30 cpm and i didn’t think one exists anymore! at least not the cheaper ones. and then this! oy.
I have an old canon ink jet. I use it for pictures and printing graphics. But would like a newer one to handle everyday printer/scanning/fax needs. I especially like the waterproof ink…we tend to tip a lot of glasses while my beloved photos are laying around. Thank you for the offer!
I currently use whatever’s available at the library, as my printer died when I was in college. A new printer would be insanely helpful.
I have an HP6100 wireless printer that I LOVE…except I can’t get it to work on my Vista laptop. I hope this one would be better for me.
winner winner, chicken dinner! Pick me pick me! :)
I have an HP All-in-One InkJet. I would SO love to upgrade to this one!!
I currently use a inkjet printer! Pretty nice HP one, too.
Love Epson and have had several. Using Sylus CX4200 right now, but always thinking of the future!
Thanks!
Currently I have a fantastic Canon all-in-one. Seriously, I love these machines. I don’t want to be entered because I’m already set up, but those of you without one will love having it! Good luck!
Currently I have an hp office jet j5780 all in one… new a couple of months ago and I don’t like it at all… so if I win this one I’ll donate the other. Great contest.
I have an inkjet that is not working very well. It has been a good printer but is wearing out.
Hi there Kristen! Mine is Cannon Pixma iP1000 — an inkjet I think ;)
My current printer situation is bleak. I simply don’t have one. I have used Epson in the past at my place of business and I must say that I enjoy the ability to replace only the colors I’ve run out of. It’s very convenient when I print a ton of brochures with blue print. I’d love to get my hands on one of these so I can get back to print work.
I’ve only a inkjet printer.
I never really tried a laser printer. I hope that this is the time I can do it
My Canon BJC 4300 bit the dust and the Epson Workforce 600 would fit perfectly in my home office and give me more, and better print capabilities.
This printer ROCKS!!! I would love to be able to print out color CD Covers and Band Promos. This Giveaway ROCKS!!!
Wow what a great giveaway. We dont have a printer. I have to take stuff to kinko’s if i have to print. Luckily its open 24 hrs. The last printer we had was a canon and it was terrible.
i just use a plain old inkjet. it is slow and the color sucks. but it prints.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a printer at all. And I really need one!
My poor all-in-one HP is on its last legs. It has served me well for the past 3 years, but it needs to be put out to pasture…or at least given to the teens to finish it off.
Do you know what waterproof pages would do for me with two toddlers? Really? It would be totally miraculous!!
I use an inkjet, but it is playing out on me. I use this thing constantly too! I need one for three co op classes that I teach for our homeschool group as well as business and personal use! I would love to win!
I owned a Canon inkjet printer before it recently crapped out on me. Nothing like a college student with no printer LOL
Pretty awesome give away! I have an inkjet.
I use a borrowed epson ink jet i think. not a great printer, but heck, it prints and it works, which is more than I can say for the HP deskjet we have kicking around at home. :)
We have a epson all-in-one but it takes all my IT genius to keep it working with 4 laptops, 1 mac and 1 desktop. I love the epson printer, it will always be my first choice.
The website is my hubby’s blog.
I don’t have a printer at all, mine died and it hasn’t been replaced yet. I guess about 2 years later :P
I’ve never owned a printer ever.
My printer is just BnW it’s THAT old ummmmm would LOOOOOVE to win ((hint hint))
This one looks like an awesome printer!
I just moved to a new country, where printers are ridiculously expensive, while I need one urgently!
Help!
Hey,
Great contest. I don’t even own a printer yet but it would be sweetbiz to print out all the pictures and illustrations I make.
I use a laser printer that does scan/fax. A color printer would be nice to have, though. Mine only does black & white/grayscale. Besides, my Brother printer is starting to falter. I’ve had it for quite some time.
I have several printers and they are all ink-jet. my favorite is my epson c84, but it broke (jets clogged sob) so I am on the lookout for a new one. Thanks

I use an inkjet.
Great blog (I subscribe via RSS). I really enjoy the daily feed!
Here’s my real entry: I currently use an inkjet.
Thank you…and goodnight LOL
I use an inkjet that sucks down the ink and jams my paper each and every time.
I “used” a cannon inkjet, however it broken down last month, so if I need something printed we email to my mother and we print there.
I use an inkjet all-in-one printer, that is constantly in use by my daughter for her homework assignments. I would love to set her up with her own printer.
We have an all-in-one-inkjet printer…it’s OK ;-)
I work I use a laser printer, but at home I don’t have anything; even dot matric would be an upgrade!
Ooo, I’m drooling a little. I actually don’t have a printer. I had one, but it bit the dust and I haven’t been able to afford a new one. This would be perfection!
I have a cheap printer I purchased from walmart after are nice one broke down. I think it’s a inkjet printer I have.
I have a laser printer that I use for regular printing - it only does black and white. I have a color printer/scanner that I use whenever I need to print color or photos. The ink for the color printer is so much more expensive than toner that I try to use the laser printer whenever I can. Thanks for the giveaway!
Homemaker Barbi (Danelle Ice)
We’ve had (what I’m realizing) a common problem with our printers. We’d get one and it would work well for about 3 months…then nothing! Agh! So, we’ve been w/o a printer for 4 years and we really need it for my hubby’s work at home. We’re tired of printing stuff off at Kinkos!

I have an older lazor printer but I would love to have a printer where the ink doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!
I use a B&W laser printer, but a color printer and a scanner with document feed that will work with my Mac would be a great addition to my setup.
I have an inkjet printer right now. I use it for printing documents and pictures for artwork but I’ve been going to Kinko’s recently for better quality. A new one would make me smile.
I don’t have one right now, so I use my dads Epson when I need to print something. He’d be so happy if I won one!!!
I have an inkjet at home, but end up “outsourcing” for print jobs that need to look really good. I could use this prize!
Nice giveaway. I have an inkjet currently.
Oh, very nice! I currently use an inkjet.
I use a laser printer these days :) So far, it’s been very enjoyable :D
THanks for the cool contest :D
would love a new printer - our old one is on its last leg, and prints half the time
I use a laser and it is extremely fast, but wow, the toner is quite pricey. my bf got it for me last year for christmas. this would be GREAT for pictures, and heck he can have that one, cause his stinks! hehe!
I am currently using an old HP color inkjet all-in one. I’ve had this printer for about ten years. It is still working, but the quality isn’t there anymore. It also lacks the wireless capabilities that make life so much easier these days! Thanks for the opportunity to win a new printer!
What an awesome giveaway! I’m definitely an Epson girl, they are all I buy when it comes to printers, they’re the best! I currently use an ink-jet (epson of course), but would love to have this one too so I don’t have to go hook my laptop up everytime I need to print something. Thanks so much for the chance!

I have an ink jet printer I am presently using
Thanks
Hmm, well let’s see.
I just recently received an HP inkjet, and while I’m away from home (on study leave) I am using it. But it’s a bit slow.
Back at home, I have an HP laserjet, and I love it to bits. Prints finely and very fast.
And at work, everyone gets to print for free using the (gasp!!) Epson dot matrix. Yes, really.
We currently have a Canon Pixma MP160. I like that it is a scanner and copier too, but unfortunately it only works about half the time.
inkjet
Nice, we have a very old printer and I think our pictures could be much clearer (esecially for my scrapbooking projects!) Thanks!
I use a laser printer, but it isn’t compatible with Windows Vista, so I’m now without a printer!
I use an inkjet printer. It’s just enough to get by with. These printers would be great for a small business.
This printer would improve my business productivity.
I absolutely love Epson brand products!!!
I currently have an (inkjet) Epson Stylus Photo R-320, but unfortunately it is only the printer…I could really use an all in one since I’m always having to go somewhere else to scan things that I need sent to the school.
Please count me in, this would be such a blessing for me!!!!
Great Giveaway!!!
-Barb :)
I have an inkjet printer but I would love a new printer. My three biggest problems with my current printer are:
1. Fonts print too small, can’t correct
2. Color doesn’t print very well
3. Ink cartridges cost too much
SEE, I need a new printer.
PLUS, I LOVE BIZ Chicks…
PLUS, I subscribed to your feed through email.
Here’s hoping I win…
I have an old Canon ink jet that is all clogged up and not working at all! It’s so sad. I’m starting some new personal (exciting for me!) projects and this would be such a great help!
I just got a laser printer but it doesn’t do color so this printer would be great!
Mine inkjet printer is a Dell. It just crashed. We’d love a new one!
I would like to say that I use a very nice printer for all of my printing needs.
I would be a liar if I did.
Basically, I don’t have a printer. Granted, there are several lying around the house (even one about ten feet from me), but it’s not mine, it doesn’t have any ink, no cables, and basically…I have no idea if it even works at all.
I could definitely use a working printer. All of this ASCII art is killing my hard drive…
I have an Epson Stylus that has gotten very slow. I’m trying to run a coalition that isn’t even up to the level of non-profit. Having an efficient machine is a must! Thanks!
I use an HP Laserjet, and would need something quicker for flyers. Thanks!
I currently use a cheap inkjet. It works, does its job, but you don’t want to print photos on it :) and it is real slow.
thanks for opportunity
I’d LOVE to have a printer like this. We currently do not have one and this would be perfect!!
I currently have a HP laser jet printer, with no ink!!!! I sure would love this one though.
I currently have a cheap inkjet with a built in scanner. I like the Wi Fi on the Epson WorkForce 600 as well as the quality and speed.
Blogged about the contest at http://www.submityourcontest.com/win-two-aio-color-printers/
I currently own a HP F4100 Series All in One Inkjet Printer. And I would love to have a second one too if I win! :smile:
I don’t have my own printer - I have to go out and have somebody else print my stuff. It’s not very convenient, so a printer of my own would be nice.
I have no printer or scanner or whatever at the moment! I would love it!
Thank!
Right now my printer isn’t working. It’s an Ink Jet. I liked it when it worked lol.
Now I could REALLY use one and this one is really cool!
I always print out pictures of my kids and they always get ruined when they get water on them.
Thanks so much for this giveaway!

Hello! Needless to say, you are having a fantastic giveaway drawing. WE have a five year old HP laser printer. It is time for a more updated one. Please enter our family in your delightful drawing. It is appreciated. Many thanks…..Cindi
I haven’t got a printer. Would really need one, but those I’d like to have are just so expensive that I don’t want to buy them, unfortunately. But would be awesome to be able to print some photos!
I currently do not own a printer!
First of all, thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest and thanks to the sponsors.
But to answer the question, currently, I’m using an inkjet printer from home.
Wish me luck and thanks again!

Oh, and sorry for the second comment but I also posted about your contest at http://www.bloggingcontests.com/2008/win-an-all-in-one-color-inkjet-printer-at-bizchicksrulecom/
Hopefully that helps too!
Thanks again!

I’m using an HP Deskjet 3550 (Inkjet) printer. Did the job back in the days, and still does for documents. But that’s about as far as it goes now. :)
I’m not sure? How horrible is that! I think it is an inkjet printer? I think… :-)
I would love an Epson printer for all the pics I plan to take of my baby girl once she’s born! I currently use a Canon PIXMA (forgot the model #), but it’s more for business and printing stuff of the computer. The Epson with waterproof ink sounds perfect for pics!!! Thanks for the chance :D
I don’t have a printer at all. It would be nice to not have to drive to Office Depot to print everytime I want to print something. *s*
I currently use an NP 3650 Deskjet printer for small jobs. I do design professional projects for print but those are done by professional printers.
Hi Kristen,
I use an HP 1012 laser printer.
Thanks for the opportunity to get such a nice new one for free!

I don’t have a printer at all…I also live in a cave…
Having just moved 2000 miles to a new house with my husband and my son.. lots of things are lost or got broken during the move. I work from home doing odds and ends online while my husband works out of the home. I USED to have a Lexmark Inkjet printer that ended up getting busted up during our move. With a new baby one the way, I can’t afford to keep going to Kinkos to print out my papers. HELP!
I have a Canon laser printer right now, would love to get one of these :)
I don’t own a color printer. I use a laser at home, though. In the end, it’s cheaper for B&W printing.
We sooooooooooooooooo need this. We don’t have a color printer in our office and are starting to do more in house printing for our customers.
This would be a HUGE help.
thanks Epson!!!

I have a very old printer so I could definitely use this!
We use an inkjet and the color just never seems right.
I use a sweet Brother laser printer at home. Prints fast and clear.
Looks great. I use an inkjet now and it’s about time for the upgrade.
Great blog also…keep up the good work.
I just got in a fight with my fax machine. I initial won a beat the crap out of it. It won, when I went to fax something. I broke it. I need it bad.
I use an inkjet. I mostly print B&W docs, although it can do a respectable photo print.
Probably wont win but would just like to comment how unbelievably convincing you are! hahaha… you have a future in sales in case all else fails! hahaha more power!
oh by the way… i dont have a printer and would love to have one of those. In case i dont win.. I’m going to convince my housemates that we need this, just like the way you did here. hehehe
I use an inkjet to produce my own marketing materials. This is a SLOW process. Sounds like this printer would make the job much more productive.
