Epson WF-3640 Printer Review

The Epson WorkForce WF-3640 All-in-One inkjet printer is stuffed with features, from printing and scanning to faxing and copying, and it has excellent paper handling for such an inexpensive device. Wireless networking is included, as well as mobile printing options, and the cost per page of Epson WF-3640 printer ink is very reasonable.

For a machine designed for the home office, the WF-3640 is a little on the large side, and may be difficult to share a desk surface with. It measures 12.1x17.7x22.2 inches, and it weighs a little over 25.4 pounds with the WorkForce WF-3640 printer ink installed. Wired networking and a USB port are included, but for easier setup, users might prefer its wireless support, and it supports both Mac and Windows computers.

ISO print speeds are around 10 pages per minute for color and 19 pages per minute for black, which is impressive for the price. Users can also print wirelessly from smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices using Apple AirPrint or Google Cloud Print. Epson offers its own array of mobile apps for everything from printing photos to saving scanned documents. The input paper capacity is up to 500 sheets, and the automatic document feeder can hold up to 35 sheets at once.

Inkjet devices have a more expensive cost per page, on average, than laser machines, but Epson WF-3640 ink cartridges are fairly affordable. With four individual WorkForce WF-3640 ink cartridges, wasted ink is less of a problem. Buyers may be disappointed that third-party Epson WF-3640 ink isn't as readily available as with some competing models.

With a lot of functionality under the hood, the WF-3640 is an impressive machine at an even more impressive price. Its wireless networking and mobile printing features are top notch, and supplies are affordable enough for the average home user.
