Giveaway: Win An Epson Workforce 600 5 in 1 Printer!

Posted on 16 December 2008 by Dan Cohen

Update: We have a winner! Congratulations Jonese! Keep your eye out for more fantastic giveaways from Gear Diary, coming soon…

The Epson Workforce 600 all-in-one we reviewed a few weeks ago sure ain’t the sexiest gift you can give, but it is one that will certainly see a lot of use!

I was impressed by pretty much every aspect of the machine: It faxes, copies, scan and prints with clarity and speed, and at a fraction of the cost of laser printers. In all, it is a great choice for the home office.

Thanks to the good folks at Epson, we have a brand new Work Force 600 to give away this Friday.

To win just leave a comment below telling us the most unusual or funny (but rated PG-13 or less- this IS a family site after all) thing you could copy if you won the Workforce 600.

Rules:

1. Comment must be left at the bottom of this post.
2. Winner will be chosen at midnight CST on Friday, December 19th and notified by email shortly after
3. Prize must be shipped to an address in the Continental USA
4. Please add judie [at] geardiary.com to your safe list; if we do not hear from you within 48 hours, we will pick another winner

Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen

I would gather all of my fishing gear, jump in the boat, spend a day on the open sea, catch a large fish (breaking the current world record), copy it on the Workforce 600 (which accompanied me on the boat, powered by a solar panel), release the fish. Now I have proof that I caught the largest fish ’cause it was copied on the Workforce 600.

We have six cats, a 4 year old and a 17 month old. We could immortalize all of ‘em through the magic of digital copying!

Recently, I had been helping a friend and her company science lab director / IT guy help investigate a coworker that was using their company resources to consult for direct competitors, thus causing my friend’s company to lose marketshare. What initially tripped up the guilty party was having the competitors fax him invoices and research docs discussing how to get proprietary lab data and such. After he was dismissed last month, he left behind forms and data about his own “secret” consulting company, copies of legal docs pertaining to a 2nd mortgage taken out to fund the startup competitors (btw, did I mention he was close to retirement?)–and reams of email copies to his work email address discussing his funding and efforts to guide investors from the company over to the other startups (!).
So, what would I copy? All his emails and docs, then fax them over to his own out-of-the-basement consulting company. And a copy of his termination paperwork and the non-compete/NDA documentation he signed years ago.

I’d grab my screen and lay it on the scanner, so I can take a picture of my screen without having to learn that difficult-to-use Print Screen function
Of course the screen would be displaying a picture of my bottom.
NOTE: I am in Australia, but depending on shipping costs – may be able to pay for the shipping, if you decide me as the winner. Just email me, I was looking at this printer earlier and I really want it.

I would make copies of my kids at their current age and keep them around for future “but they used to be so cute” moments. With all of them reaching near-teen status, I am sure we will need reminders of how they used to be–when they thought I was smart, funny, and relevant!

I would copy my face smooched up against the scanner bed making funny faces. What’s more classic than that?

Hi. My name is Civisi, I would photocopy my Zune. Have you ever seen one out in public? I didn’t think so. Do you know anyone that has one? Of course you do! I just introduced myself in the first sentence, and I told you that I have a Zune. But why photocopy them? Zunes seem to be a rare species, and even though I’ve squirted hundreds of songs to my wife’s Zune, there are still only 2 Zunes in our house. Photocopying them is only a front, but sometimes the appearance of numbers is more important than the numbers themselves.

I think I would take a copy of my iphone playing a ripped DVD and mail it anonymously to the Motion Picture Assoc. lawyers. Just to spread some holiday cheer!

I would entertain myself by scanning my son’s feet to see how fast they grow over a few months.

The one page stories that my kindergarten son has been writing, and the funny things he colors at the extra space on the top of the page.

I would copy my personality. I get lonely and who would be better company than my lonely, shut-in self! Plus I don’t have to leave my house or like, interact with others (eewwww!)

I would copy hundreds of bingo cards and pictures of old people then tape them to my grandmothers bedroom walls so she has something to do.

I’d probably copy a bunch of docs for our current mortgage so I can submit them for a future refinance. With the rates dropping regularly, I figure I have a pretty good chance to do that.
I’d also scan in old pictures that were taken on film so I could use them as needed. My kid likes to look at pictures on the computer at times and would get a kick out of some of them.

Rose petals….. I’d cover the bed in rose petal copies for my alergic wife….

I would scan everything I’ve been wanting to get uploaded into Evernote- my old diaries, letters, receipts. That’s really why I’d love to win this.
Then I’d copy a lifesized cutout of myself and give one to my husband, one to my son, and then go see a movie.

I think I would scan my husband’s face. I’ll make sure he closes his eyes so he won’t get blinded.

I would give this to my son who is a graphic designer.

I would copy my pay stubs, since it was announced that no one at my work will be getting raises next year. I should start making copies of my resumes too.

I’d copy all my handwritten recipes that I’ve collected on scrap paper and notecards over the years and hand them to my sister who claims she just doesn’t know how to cook for the holidays thereby forcing me to have to do all the work for the family dinners. Did I mention she’s a LIAR?
