This Epson WF-4820 is a perfect fit for most small businesses or work at home offices. It provides the typical faxing, scanning, copying and printing capabilities that most people would need in a form factor that works for a small office. Compared to the laser printer we have the print image isn’t quite as sharp or have the same color depth but overall its fine for the typical day to day print and copy jobs. Our only gripe about the printer is that the exit tray is not well defined, has no stops at the end and is rather small. (see photo) Features: The printer can print 25 black or 12 color pages per minute which makes it one of the faster printers in this price range. It can print up to 4800x2400 dpi and it can do automatic double-sided printing. There is a document feeder that hold 35 pages for copying or scanning. It has a dedicated fax line so you can fax directly from the machine using a land line without having to use a fax relay service. The printer uses Epson’s instant dry ink which means the ink doesn’t smudge however the paper still has a slightly damp feeling if it has a lot of ink on the paper. To control the printer there is a 4.3 inch display with intuitive instructions on how to use the printer. There is only one paper tray that holds up to 250 pages so you can only have one size paper loaded at a time. The printer uses 4 cartridges for ink, one black and three color. This is nice because you can replace a single cartridge when it runs out. Although there is no SD card slots there is a USB port on the front of the printer so you can print directly from a USB flash drive using the control panel. Connectivity: We wanted a printer that could communicate via an ethernet cable as well as wireless and wireless-direct. Having wireless-direct we can let a visitor print directly to the printer without having to give them access to our wifi which is a good security feature. There is a short cut to activate wireless-direct right on the printer’s control panel home page. (see photo) The ethernet cable lets the wired computers print and the wireless feature lets us print from laptops, tablets and phones. So far we have been able to print from windows, ipads, android phones and chrome books with very little setup or issues. Epson Software: I was shocked to find a CD with software and the manual actually included with the printer. Normally you have to download all that from the manufacturer’s website so having the CD does save some time in set up for the devices that still have drives. The software does give you the opportunity to install some additional Epson utilities besides the minimum required but its easy to unclick those if you don’t want them. The mobile app for the Ipads and Android devices were easy to install and have worked problem free. The software allows you to check the ink levels of the printer and does automatic updates to the printer so everything is kept up to date. (see photo) Final Thoughts: This printer is quick and it provides competitive print quality. The ability to scan, fax or copy on demand makes this an extremely attractive printer. The document feeder so far has worked issue free but it’s not built for large jobs. This is not a super tank type printer so if you are planning on printing a lot its best to get the XL cartridges vs the standard cartridges that come with the printer.

Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·pauldar
There are lots of AIO printers out there to choose from in various price ranges. What is important is to buy an AIO that has all of the features you require, reliable, and built to last. I am impressed with this Epson WorkForce® Pro WF-4820 Wireless All-in-One because it is an excellent printer, especially for the volume of documents I produce out of my Home Office. And it does an outstanding job for my Grand Kids homework, Grandma's recipe cards, and produces topnotch work photos and family photographic treasures too. After four weeks of heavy use I believe this Epson is the best performing of all the printers I've owned in the past. This WF-4820 is marketed 'For Work', but it is the best in its class and price range for Home Office use and various kinds of printing activities for all my family members too. So, why do I think this is the best Home Office/Family printer you can purchase in its price class? ** PRINT QUALITY: 1. As a Construction Inspector I work as a Consultant for Architectural firms and Engineering Professionals. When I am out of town I often e-mail my daily construction notes and job photos that night to the Design Professionals for their evaluation the next morning. However, during various phases of the construction project I am required to submit printed and formalized documents indicating the job progress and adherence to the Architectural & Engineering Specifications Manual. I take great pride in submitting accurate, complete, and professional-caliber printed documents. The Epson WF-4820 uses 4800 x 2400 DPI, which is super-sharp for both documents and photos. I use the highest quality paper I can buy and expect my printer to produce the best resolution of printing to match my efforts. This Epson WF-4820 meets my expectations and is now my 'go-to' printer. WooHoo! 2. An interesting facet of construction inspections is photo documentation. Again when I am out of town I also forward JPEG photo files that night with my construction notes. On the other end they sometimes print out these photos using their high-volume, ink tank printer and present them directly to our clients. Two weeks ago one of the engineers called me and asked what kind of printer I was using to reproduce my 5” x 7” job photos. He was curious as to why my job photos were far superior to their high-volume, ink tank, printed photos from the same JPEG files. He said he noticed the difference when presenting the job photos to our clients. He was surprised when I told him I was using an inexpensive WF-4820 Epson AIO Ink Jet Printer. I explained to him that Epson Ink Jet Printers using PrecisionCore Heat Free Technology and DURABRITE Ultra instant-dry pigment inks are superior and produce professional-quality resolution photos compared to his high-volume, office, ink tank unit. I let him know that I can immediately touch my photos right out of the printer with no smudges or wash marks. I have printed out several job photos and the definition, color, and quality resolution is excellent. Family pics are terrific and impressive, and, can be printed in these sizes, 3-1/2” x 5”, 4” x 6”, 5” x 7” and 8” x 10” photos. Epson photo glossy photo paper is available at Best Buy. ** BUILD & DUTY CYCLE - This Epson WF-4820 AIO is built to perform and last for years. The printers, which I have previously bought for my Home Office lasted about one year before I wore them out. I print out approximately a thousand pages a month, which is the maximum for most AIO ink jet printers. This WF-4820 is built for a monthly duty cycle of 1,600 pages a month with a max of 33,000 pages if needed, but not recommended by Epson as routine. It is built for a higher volume then I use now and should last me for years. It weighs approximately 22.5 pounds and its footprint is approximately 17 inches x 17 inches, approximately 11 inches high, and approximately 20 inches deep. It fits easily into my Home Office on my desk and would in any home environment. The exterior housing is made of ABS plastic in a matte black, fingerprint-resistant finish and cleans easily. ** SETUP – This is one of the easiest printer installations I've installed. I chose to use my home WI-FI router network, so I could print from other devices in my home network. WI-FI Direct is also available if I wish to limit the users ability to access my home network. This Epson can be directly connected to my router with an Ethernet cable for the most secure connection. It can also be connected directly to my desktop or laptop using a USB cable. And I could also use Bluetooth as long as I am in the same vicinity as my printer. The entire setup was accomplished using the LED front control panel, which walked me through the entire process, step by step. Connecting to my home WI-FI router was quick and easy. I have a MU-MIMO router and this Epson Printer takes advantage of MU MIMO, which allows multiple Wi-Fi devices to simultaneously receive multiple data streams. YooHoo! At the Ep

Unboxing: Super easy as the printer comes in a bag with handles so you can easily remove this printer by yourself. I can't believe epson though of this (see pictures). You won't need someone to hold down the box as you take out the printer! Wireless setup: (I only did this method) super quick and super easy. I never had a setup process that was this fast for a copier. All I did was scan a QR code on the screen and I was literally in business to print. Size: The printer is pretty large I would say double the size of your typical home printer. Even though it is large I think its because of the options this printer has like large paper capacity, duplex printing, an ADF, etc. Glass Copy (opening top): Coping in this method allows for a clear and crisp copy. Will quickly produce a color or black copy. ADF (automatic document feeder): quick and will produce similar results to a normal copy. A pro is that this thing can hold 35 pages which is not typical for a printer like this. Not a fully copiers size limit but more than 12 pages or less like a typical home copier/printer. Print from computer: quick and does not take long for the printer to get your document and begin printing. Print from mobile: quick and does not take long for the printer to get your document and begin printing. Loading on your phone is quick and automatically recognized my printer (after setup). Paper Bin: hold half a ream (250 pages). Larger than typical but for the size of the machine I wish it held a full ream. Ink installation: Seemed a little hard and it took me a couple of times to make sure I was putting in each cartridge correctly. The on screen directions were helpful but really didn't tell me how those cartridges should be put in without damaging the copier. Touch Screen: Large, crisp and easy to read. It is very responsive! Almost to responsive as I noticed as my finger get close to the screen its already beeping to tell me that I select my option. This does not seem to be a problem as it always has selected what I wanted. Interface: While basic it does have clear and crisp graphics. Looks completely professional and will be what you want when using a printer. Feels and looks like a top notch copier. Other pros: Fast printer at 25 pages per min. in B&W and 12 pages per min. in color. Has double sided printing (my favorite feature). Cons: Printer seems loud and is pretty strong when it prints. In other words the print shakes my table back and fourth because of how strong the print head prints. I don't mind it because it seems to be well built but I would expect the printer would not do this as of how high quality it is. (The table normally did not shake like this with other printers). Packaging con: Even though it was easy to remove their was a crazy amount of packaging tape. I had so much tape at the end that my table was full. I guess this could be a pro because epson really cares about the packaging of their copier. I definitely recommend this printer as it is a work horse! I would have given it 5 stars if it was able to hold a whole ream of paper (because of how large the printer is it should be included).

This printer provides great quality prints. It is easy to use has great features such as a timed lock (if you have littles ones like I do that love to touch things they shouldn’t) it’s easy to install/setup. The computer software makes all functions easy to setup and compared to other brands of printers I prefer Epson just for that reason. The only thing to note is that the color print speed isn’t the greatest. If you need a quick color print for multiple pages, this may not print at the speed you’re looking for but just check the specs. Overall great printer. Giving it 4 out of 5 stars only because if print speed which is my fault for not looking into those details.

This is a replacement for a previous epson. Why? Because I do not print color that often and the print head dried up except for black and it was cheaper to buy this one than repair my existing printer. Setup is fairly easy but give yourself at least an hour. So far it has done well. A few sheets with smeared black but I think that was my own fault reaching for the sheet before it kicked out. I have set a schedule to print a color sheet whether I need to or not to try and avoid the print head drying up again

I have owned Epson printers for more than 20 yrs.The quality and speed of the products has always been great. When my 3620 developed jet clogging issues, I read reviews and made the decision to purchase the 4820. I am so sorry I made that decision. It is the most frustrating printer I have ever owned.\nWhen it works, it prints well, but it is constantly losing connectivity, along with stating the printer drivers are not installed, which is most frustrating. I work from home and need a reliable printer and so far this is not it.\nIt holds a good amount of paper, and prints quickly-when it works. Hopefully it will work better for others, but I am very dissapointed in this product.

My ancient laser printer and Epsom color printer/scanner both died so I bought another Epson as my old one was almost perfect. My new WF-280 is so much better! It is wireless, faster and has better software. Setup was easy and using it is intuitive. I have only had it a month so I have no info on longevity, but if my past experience with Epson is a guide it will be long lived. I do not print in color often so I did not buy an eco tank; for those looking for a high quality printer-scanner, who do mostly black and white printing, but like occasional color; this is a superb, high quality option.

Almost didn't purchase it due to the negative reviews but I've had this now for about a month and it's performed flawlessly so far. Love that Epson has added an auto-off feature and gotten rid of the physical buttons in favour of a larger touchscreen, which is responsive and well laid out. Very happy so far.
