Only So So

Overall this is a pretty well design unit. Dual paper trays are nice. Pulling off the back every time it thinks there is an error can be a pain.
Epson needs to completely re-vamp their software. There is no way to fax more than one thing at a time. With my previous machines I could place several faxes in memory and just let them go. Scanner software is too basic and very limited.
Machine is nice - Software not so good! Not recommended for business.
I would recommend this to a friend!

very good... while it works

The printer is very good when it works: it prints fast with good quality.
However, the printer began to spray yellow ink inside the printer all over about 11 months after purchase and only on its third set of cartridges. It is probably not worth dealing with warranty so I tossed it out and would have to replace it with something else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed

Having used this machine for about 16 months, I am now dealing with the leaking yellow ink issues that have been mentioned by others. And I can find no information about this common problem and a fix.

Not a good investment

I purchased this machine for my small business as well as an additional warranty. Well without 9 months of using it, it started to run yellow ink. I did my research and learned this is a major problem the WP-4540.

Won't print yellow
on September 24, 2015
Posted by: NIcki
from Arkansas, USA
I have had this printer for several years now and have to say that I absolutely love it. Recently, the yellow ink started running all over everything. I finally got that stopped and cleaned up and now it doesn't print yellow at all. Seems from other reviews that this is a common problem. I know my warranty is out so I guess I'll have to buy another printer. If I can find another brand with two paper trays, I will purchase. Not sure I want to buy another one of these. My luck it will do the same thing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Epson Workforce Pro Performance

I have used it for a week or two. My only issue is with utilizing paper that is less than 8 x 11. The paper kept getting stuck causing me to check front and back because of jammed paper.

new printer
on February 9, 2012

I needed a wireless printer, so I decided on a Epson WP-4540. . I looked at the WP-4530, and the 4540 has the same footprint, just taller because of the extra paper tray.
Easy to set up (I have windows 7 professional on both my laptop and desktop). Do download the new drivers from Epson before installation. I selected the Epson over all of the other brands because of my experience with Epson photo printers (3), that I have.
I think the only problem that I had was finding a spot for the printer. It is big. I sure would like it if Epson would put the regular full size cartridges in it, instead of the starters.
I would highly recommend using a 24 or 28 pound paper, I use 28 pound Hammermill paper for color laser, and do NOT get multiple sheets fed out of the paper tray with this paper. Get quality paper, it works.
Overall, I like the printer. I don't need the fax function, but all the other functions perform as advertised.

Amazing value and performance
on February 23, 2012

I am starting a small business, and needed a networked multi-function printer. I was also thinking about setting up a remote print server. The WP-4540 delivers quiet operation, performance that exceeds all my expectations, and simple setup on my Macs, iPad, and even a Win7 netbook (I skipped the installation CD, and went straight for the latest files from the Epson website). After years of using small consumer inkjets, if ink costs are even close to specification, I'm going to be over the moon.
Between wi-fi and Epson Connect, the remote fax, scan and print capabilities are impressive, and have eliminated the need for a server. I can even print photos straight from my iPhone when I'm out on the road, no additional apps required!
I would recommend this to a friend!
