LONG BEACH, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Facing an unpredictable residential market, Orange County realtor Wendy Hooper needs the right tools to maintain the fast pace of her business. To help secure the best deals for clients, her home office is equipped with the high-speed Epson WorkForce 610, the world's fastest all-in-one in its class.(1) The dependable workhorse is a valuable partner in handling everything from day-to-day tasks to last-minute deadlines.

"My small real estate business greatly relies on the exceptionally fast speed of the WorkForce 610," said Hooper, partner of The Hooper Group/Altera Real Estate in South Orange County, CA. "No matter how long I've been out with clients, viewing properties, or working at our other offices, something will happen unexpectedly when I'm at home, so I'll have to scan, print, fax, or email on the spot."

Though she frequents offices in Aliso Viejo and Corona Del Mar, the Epson WorkForce 610 all-in-one has become a mainstay in her home office with high-speed printing, scanning and image output tools. "Having reliable and easy-to-use technology tools is a key part of a realtor's job in this day and age," said Hooper. "Without the convenience of these tools, I'd have no other way to handle or make sense of today's information overload."

Speed and Quality

Hooper begins her workday using the WorkForce 610 to scan or produce the documents that she needs to fax, email or hand-deliver to clients. Among the most important documents of the day are multiple real estate listings, handouts, flyers, floor plans, property photos, web pages or contracts. With Epson's patented print head technology and DURABrite Ultra Inks, the all-in-one delivers 5760 x 1440 dpi resolution with sharp text and stunning graphics. Prints are smudge, fade and water resistant due to the ink's instant-dry, all-pigment formulation, perfect for protecting important real estate documents.

"The WorkForce 610 never keeps me waiting when I have to run out the door to view or show properties, market client's homes or prepare contracts," said Hooper. "I find that the Epson all-in-one can often print the contract I need right away in the same time it may take an office laser printer to warm up."

For Small Business and Home Office

The WorkForce 610 also offers small businesses and home offices like The Hooper Group built-in Wi-Fi® and wired networking.(2) Co-workers or family members can easily share one machine and print from virtually anywhere without clumsy cables. The all-in-one has a 2.5-inch tilt LCD screen, built-in memory card slots, and a 30-page automatic document feeder to quickly copy or scan, as well as fax stacks of documents. The WorkForce 610 uses up to 70 percent less energy than a laser printer(3) and allows Hooper to manually print two-sided documents to save paper. "The Epson WorkForce 610 is so reliable and easy to use," said Hooper. "I don't have to think about whether or not it will be up and running."
