Epson WF-4640 Printer Review

For an affordable multifunction inkjet model, the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4640 performs very much like a high-end laser machine. It can reach ISO speeds of 20 pages per minute for black and color prints, and even has two-sided ISO speeds of 11 pages per minute. It can handle copying, scanning, and faxing, and high-capacity Epson WF-4640 printer ink supplies are very cost effective.

The WF-4640 isn't the most compact model in its class, but for good reason. The main paper tray can hold 500 sheets, and it has a fold-out 80-sheet rear paper tray as well, for alternative media types and sizes. The machine measures 18.2x18.1x25.8 inches, and it weighs 37 pounds, including the WorkForce Pro WF-4640 printer ink supplies. This makes it a good fit for small office use, but it might be a little bulky for the average home office.

The WF-4640 includes the full range of connection options, including USB, ethernet, and wireless support, as well as Wi-Fi Direct for supported devices. Epson's own mobile apps give users the ability to not only print from smartphones and tablets, but also to save scanned documents to their devices. Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and Kindle Fire platforms are also supported.

Inkjet supplies are larger than average, with the standard color Epson WF-4640 ink cartridges yielding around 800 pages, and the black supply yielding 900 pages. High-capacity WorkForce Pro WF-4640 ink cartridges are even more cost effective, with yields of 2,000 and 2,600 pages.

With serious business features, excellent photo quality, and an easy-to-use 4.3-inch color touchscreen interface, the Epson WF-4640 is at the top of its class for small office use. Its frame may be too big for home users, but the savings on Epson WF-4640 ink make it an excellent alternative to multifunction laser models.
