Excellent work horse printer
I have just bought my second Epson Workforce Pro WD 4540. I bought the first one in April, 2012 about 18 months ago at the time of writing, for business use. It has served me admirably during this time, with pretty much everything just working fine with no problems at all. The ink lasts ages. I have only replaced the black cartridge twice and the others once. It rarely has paper jams, and when they do occur, they are easily accessed and fixed without issue (probably occurred about 5 times in 18 months). I would print on average 40 to 50 pages a day at work. It has no warm up time, so printing starts quickly, which for 1 page jobs is a blessing. The scanner is reliable and does dupplex 2 pass scanning reliably, if not quite as quickly as I would like, being about half to a third of the printing speed. Scanned images are good quality, though. Scanning is also faster if the dots per inch is lowered, although I prefer the better quality images, as I refer to them frequently as I run a 'paper free' office #ie no paper records#. The fax also works reliably. The only cons I have identified is that it takes ages to set up initially, so allow a good few hours for this, but once working it is fabulous. I would highly recommend it and hence I have bought it again for my home now that my home printer has died.

The WorkForce Pro Is A Quality Office Addition
Our company has just upgraded to the WorkForce Pro for our small office environment and found it very easy to set up, including adding it an existing wireless network. Have not been able to fault this unit, with it's 500+ sheet feeder, high quality document printing and surprisingly great photo printing. The ink system, although we've yet to replace them, is extremely good value compared with the competition after looking at a price comparison.
For small businesses / companies you can't go past the WorkForce Pro and should have it on your shopping list when the time comes to either replace or upgrade. Very satisfied.

Excellent, except for scanning speed.
I purchased this product for its multifunction abilities, needing in this order - Scanning, printing, faxing and copying.
Scanning is good, but slow. It would be nice to be able to scan faster, otherwise excellent machine.

This product is easy to use and relatively cheap to run.
I haven't used the fax function,but it's been very easy to use for everyday document printing, photo copying, or for high quality photo printing.
The quality of printing depends on the quality of paper used, regular paper would give a less sharp letters compared to laser printing probably due to the nature of ink. But again, the quality of image on photo paper is amazing!
The draw back of the printer that the touch screen is quite difficult to use, it's nothing like touch screen on the smartphone. It's more like a guess work and "hope I can hit the sensor this time" thumb excercise game.
