Epson WP-4590 Printer Review

Not all buyers want to pay the high prices associated with business-centric laser machines, but they still want the features and functions. The Epson WorkForce Pro 4590 solves the problem. As a multifunction color inkjet device, it utilizes Epson 4590 ink, which keeps printer ink costs low, and still has speeds in the range of business models, at an ISO rate of up to 16 pages per minute in black and 11 pages per minute in color.

The familiar features are included, for those who are used to working on more robust office machines. The unit includes a flatbed scanner and a duplexing document feeder that can save considerable time and hassle. Scanning and faxing functions are available, with advanced features for both, and wired networking is included as well. There are also a few bonus features that will be particularly useful for home users, such as the ability to print directly from many mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets.

The main benefit of this inkjet model is its low printer ink costs, as Epson 4590 ink cartridges are much less expensive than most laser models. Each of the WorkForce Pro 4590 ink cartridges have a capacity of over 1,200 pages, with the black WorkForce Pro 4590 ink providing over 2,400 pages. This makes the cost per page for Epson 4590 ink very low.

PC Magazine gave the Epson 4590 a glowing review, mentioning its duplex features, low running costs, and fast speeds as main reasons to buy. They found its design to be a bit bulky, and were disappointed in the lack of wireless support.

The reasons for choosing the 4590 are almost too numerous to list. It is a great value for its affordable price, with the speed and features that will keep a small office productive.
