Pros & Cons

A budget model in Epson's WorkForce business inkjet line, the Epson WorkForce WF-2760 ($129.99) is a compact all-in-one printer geared primarily toward home office or micro office users. It offers a wide range of connection choices, and solid speed and output quality. Its modest paper capacity, limited feature set, and especially its relatively high running costs peg the WF-2760 for fairly light-duty use in a small office, but in that context, it may be all you need.

Design and Features
Measuring 9.1 by 16.7 by 14.2 inches (HWD) when closed for storage and weighing 14.6 pounds, the matte-black WF-2760 is small enough to share a desk with. Atop the printer is a letter-size flatbed, plus an automatic document feeder (ADF) that can hold up to 30 sheets. It's limited to scanning one side of a document, although you can always load the document into the ADF a second time and scan the other side if need be.

The front panel tilts slightly upward for easy access. It houses a 2.7-inch color touch screen from which you can easily access menus to control the printer's functions, an alphanumeric keypad, and buttons including Stop, Reset, and a control to launch either a black-and-white or color scan. The printer lacks a port for a USB thumb drive. The WF-2760's paper capacity is 150 sheets, rather sparse for a business printer, and does not support any optional paper trays. It does, however, have an auto-duplexer for two-sided printing.

Connectivity
There are plenty of connection choices on the WF-2760, both wired and wireless. It can connect to a computer via USB 2.0, or to a LAN via Ethernet or 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. It supports Wi-Fi Direct and near field communication (NFC), both of which let you make a direct peer-to-peer connection to a mobile device, the latter by touching a compatible (Android) phone or tablet to a spot on top of the printer. The WF-2760 supports printing from the Epson iPrint app (for iOS or Android), Google Cloud Print, Epson Creative Print, Epson Scan to Cloud, Epson Email Print, and Epson Remote Print.

Printing Speed
I tested the WF-2760 over an Ethernet connection with its driver installed on our standard test bed, which runs Windows 10 Professional. I timed it at 12.5 pages per minute (ppm), in printing the text-only (Word) portion of our new business applications suite, just a tad short of Epson's 13.7ppm rated speed for printing in black. Its first-page-out time averaged 8 seconds. In printing our full business suite, which includes PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel files in addition to the aforementioned Word document, the WF-2760 averaged 6.2ppm. We timed the Canon Maxify MB2720, our Editors' Choice all-in-one inkjet printer for a micro or home office, at 20.6ppm on our text test and at 8.2ppm for the entire suite.

Output Quality and Running Costs
Overall output quality for the WF-2760 was average for an inkjet all-in-one printer, with average text, slightly above-average photos, and graphics quality a bit below par. Text should be fine for any business use, except those requiring very small fonts. With graphics, the printer did well in printing thin, colored lines and gradients, and reasonably well in distinguishing between zones of similar color. Some of the backgrounds looked slightly faded. Half of the PowerPoint pages I printed showed obvious banding, a regular pattern of striations. Overall photo quality was a little better than what you would expect from drugstore prints.

Running Costs
As a general rule, the lower a printer's price, the higher its per-page costs will be, and the WF-2760 is a good example of this. Based on Epson's prices and yields for its highest-yield ink cartridges, its running costs are 6 cents per monochrome page and 17.3 cents per color page, the same figure we've seen in other Epson 2000-series models such as the Epson WorkForce WF-2650 and Epson WorkForce WF-2660. The Canon MB2720 has running costs of 2.7 cents per black page and 8 cents per color page.

Conclusion
The Epson WorkForce WF-2760 is inexpensive for a color inkjet all-in-one printer, and it delivers solid speed and output quality. Its combination of high running costs and modest paper capacity peg it for light-duty use in a micro or home office. Its feature set is hit-or-miss, with a wealth of connection choices but no port for a USB thumb drive or a slot for a memory card. If you're willing to spend about $100 more, you can get an all-in-one inkjet such as the Canon MB2720, with much higher paper capacity and lower running costs.

Final Thoughts

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-2760 is a modestly priced inkjet all-in-one printer for micro or home businesses, with solid speed and output quality, and a wealth of connection choices. - Printers

About Our Expert

Senior Writer, Hardware

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my efforts on 3D printers, pro and productivity displays, and drives and SSDs of all sorts.

Over the years, I have reviewed smart telescopes, iPad and iPhone science apps, plus the occasional camera, laptop, keyboard, and mouse. I've also written a host of articles about astronomy, space science, travel photography, and astrophotography for PCMag and its past and present sibling publications (among them, Mashable and ExtremeTech), as well as for the former PCMag Digital Edition.

The Technology I Use

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 laptop that's my work daily driver, an HP Pavilion Aero 13 as my primary personal laptop, and an Asus ProArt P16 for detailed photo work. (I also have an older Dell XPS 13, which now stays at home full-time.) For storage testing, I rely on our three custom-built Windows testbeds in PC Labs, as well as a 2024 MacBook Pro.

My primary home monitor is a BenQ EX2780Q, a gaming monitor with a great sound system and excellent image quality. I use that panel for writing, watching videos, and working with photos. I also have an HP 27 Curved Display—one of the first general-purpose curved monitors—which I have paired with an Acer Aspire desktop computer. My multifunction printer is an Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 Small-in-One. I also own an Epson Perfection V39 flatbed scanner, which I use for photos and short documents, and a Canon Selphy CP1300 small-format photo printer for turning out snapshots.

My first cell phone, in 2006, was a Motorola Razr; since then, it’s been all iPhones—I currently have an iPhone 15 Pro. I use my iPhone a lot for casual photography, though I also use a Sony DSC-RX100 VII and a Canon G5 X Mark II for everyday shooting. For much of my travel photography and astrophotography, I use either a Sony A7r II or A7 III, paired with a variety of lenses ranging from a Sony 14mm f/1.8 prime to a Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS zoom lens. I also pair the A7r with a RedCat 51 for deep-sky star shooting. For astrophotography, I also use the Seestar S30 and S50 and the Unistellar Odyssey smart telescopes, which are essentially astronomical cameras controlled through one’s mobile device.
