Epson WorkForce 40 Wireless Color Printer (C11CA27201) CustomerReview




I have used a fair number of inkjet printers, both home/personal models and office models, from Lexmark, HP, and Epson for about 20 years. I gave up on the HPs early because most of them are designed to roll the paper sharply over a roller, which causes me problems with the card stock and some label forms I need to use. Lexmark seems to prefer combo color ink cartidges which in my experience always need to be replaced early if I have printed a single color a low on recent documents. For these reasons I prefer Epson inkjets for my home office.

I have over the last few years gone through a couple Stylus series color inkjets. The most recent one used six ink cartridges and did a nice job. Its downsides were very slow cartridge priming whenever I tried printing after more than a few days if disuse (slow x 6!), fairly slow basic printing (i.e. black and white text). This machine used an ink system that did NOT have the print head on the cartidges, but rather used a single common printhead that was fed by tubes from the ink cartidges. This meant that a clogged or damaged print head was not replaced when changing cartridges. This is what finally caused me to retire the printer; it got to a point where no amount of ink purging operations would restire proper printing.

There are fewer stand alone inkjet printers these days, in part because multifunction printers have somewhat taken over, and partly because laser printers, both black & white as well as color, are now very affordable. I was suprised to find how few models were available from the big manufacturers.

Presented with few choices from Epson, I decided to try the new series called "Workforce". I got this model for around , which included full color cartridges (it uses three instead of the five required by the older printer) and a double sized black cartridge. You can buy high capacity color cartridges directly from Epson, but they are not the once included and they are not sold in stores, for some perverse reason.

The printer looks sharp, with its sexy gloss black finish sporting silver highlights. That is, it looks sexy for the first week, then once comes to realize that this finish shows dust readily and quickly, and fingerprints are worse. There were some advantages after all to those ubiquitous beige matte finish machines of old!

The paper exit tray has four sections, which all need to be telescoped out for use, then telescoped back when not in use (if you have a large enough desktop you can leave this tray unfurled), but the parts don't slide smoothly, so it takes a bit of jiggling to make them work.

The really advantages of this printer are the extra ink capacity, promising fewer cartridge changes, and its great printing speed. In 'normal' print mode (text only), it is approximately 2 seconds per page, or 30 pages per minutes. Some other folks have said the printer is noisy; I find that it is noisy because the paper and print head moving that fast are bound to make sounds. If I print at lower speeds, such as for top quality text printing or for photos, it is almost whisper quiet. But I do love to see the paper shooting out of this machine. One of my tasks includes printing up stacks of 'donation' envelopes for a charitable organization...printers of this size can typically hold only 10 envelopes or so in their input trays, and this one is no differnt....but before I had to sit patiently while each group of 10 printed before loading the next group of 10....now they come out so fast I am still pulling the next set of 10 from the box while the printer has finished with the last 10.

The printer also has a set of driven tiny star wheels in the exit path, and these help control and pull paper through near the end of the sheet. Still, only one of these engages narrow paper such as envelopes, so I find that the very fast paper speed coupled with the single contact point of the drive allows the paper to skew slightly. The speedy envelope printing I mentioned earlier does result in the text being very slightly skewed. You would not notice this by itself, by in my case the text on the envelope is cordered with the thin-lined rectangle, and it is possible to see the jags in the line that should be straight. This does NOT happen when feeding full width paper.

The printer, for some reason, turns ON much fater than other Epson inkjets I have used in the past. The others liked to do a little break-dance and might not be ready to print for as long as a couple of minutes. The Workforce 40 never seems to need more than a few seconds, at least in my experience.

The printer also has a cute way of telling you things about the cartridges, such as if one is empty..it moves the carriage so that the problem cartridge aligns with a little arrow on the printer body under the cover.

Black and white text printing is crisp and clean. The color photos I have printed look like what I would expect from a personal level inkjet printer, in other words very good without being quite professional grade.

I have not used this printer with any connection method other than USB, so I cannot talk about Ethernet or wireless operation, but it is nice to have all these options built in for such a lot price.

In short, I think Epson has done a nice job on this printer and at the price it would be hard to fins any significant points to complain about.
