Quality,
For years I tortured myself printing color brochures on a color laser. I thought speed and automatic duplexing were the most important things. Color and accuracy of photos? I figured I could tinker with settings until I got it right. Well, I never got it right, until I gave up and just went for quality instead, which is where this printer shines. Unlike the color laser, or other printers I have suffered with, what you see on screen is what you get on this printer. Working on a Mac with this printer has been a dream. I am now a happy printer, and an Epson convert.
Speed is good, and paper handling is great. No jams after 100′s of prints. The rear tray for thicker paper holds only 20 sheets for manual two-sided printing. But the paper feeds accurately, no jams for me. I printed 100′s of color pages (both sides, heavy text and images) out of the box with the starter carts. And when the printer flashed to tell me I was running out of yellow, the color and quality were consistent, from the start right up until the point when the yellow ran completely out. And after I replaced the cart, there was absolutely no difference in the quality of the next print. 48 lb. paper, no problem. Specs say cardstock up to 68 lb. is ok. With glossy paper, incredible results for just 4 colors. Cartridges couldn’t be simpler to install. Haven’t used the duplex yet, but plain text documents are very speedy and the text is fine, laser quality.
I suggest aligning the print heads after you receive the printer from UPS, those guys tend to drop things. My box was dented on the corners.
Bonus: my office does not reek of laser toner anymore. And the lights don’t dim every time I print a page.

|Fast, Easy, & Economical Wireless Printer,
I haven’t owned or used an Epson printer for over 15 years and I was a little anxious to see how The WorkForce Pro 4020 would perform as I have been using “all-in-one” printers for the past ten years and have been mostly satisfied with their performance. However, I was looking for a printer that would make two sided copies and print them faster than any of the all-in-one printers I have used previously. The WP-4020 is a solid performer and is a quality product. I was not disappointed.
It is important to keep in mind that this is not an all-in-one printer; it is just a printer and nothing more. However, having said that, if you are looking for clear, fast, and economical two sided printing, then this machine is for you. I still recommend having an all-in-one printer for scanning and faxing but use the WP-4020 as your main device for printing needs.
The WP-4020 is a somewhat bulky and clumsy printer, approximately 18″x18″, plain black and without much in the way of style or impressive user interface. The size of the printer had to be taken into consideration when I was setting it up. This is a much bigger printer than I have ever had before, and as a result it would not fit in my computer desk in the designated printer space. I had to find another place to keep it, but since it’s a wireless device, you can pretty much put it anywhere within range of your network…even in a closet or in the garage.
The setup directions are fairly clear and logical, but I ran into an issue with the initial set-up. The directions state that the printer is to be turned on, the front panel to be opened and the ink cartridges inserted. The directions state that you should then close the front panel and the printer will start priming the cartridges for use. There is a warning to not power-cycle the printer until the automatic priming finishes. However, I waited and waited for the priming to begin, which it didn’t do until after I power-cycled the printer. This is a not a big deal, but it can be a huge waste of setup time if you are more patient than me and follow the directions exactly.
Installing the printer to work wirelessly on my home network was easier than I expected and much easier than with the HP or Canon wireless printers I had used previously. The software installer guided me through the process and explained what to do at each step.
Once it’s connected, the WP-4020 is immediately available and is easy to use. It shoots out pages very quickly and the quality of print is excellent. In the past I have had issues with other inkjet printers showing space-banding on color copies and uneven or crooked lines when printing in black and white. The WP-4020 does not seem to have any of these issues.
The printer has several different settings for changing output and printer features. The two-sided printing feature is especially useful and is easily turned on and off through the interface There are numerous settings for handling different types of documents and the printer has the ability to create custom shortcut settings. I have never seen this feature on a printer and I have found it to be very convenient.
The Epson WorkForce Pro 4020 printer is one of the very best and fastest printers I have ever used. It’s easy to use and the print quality is excellent. If you are looking for a printer that is fast, easy and economical to use, then you should definitely consider purchasing the HP-4020 for your printing needs.

|The Days When Laser is Better are Over,
This printer installed on my Mac system at work without a problem, as I expected it to do. I’ve been using an Epson Workforce 630 at home and I’ve been very satisfied with it. At work, I’ve been using an HP Laserprinter and it does the job, but the cartridges are very expensive, like seventy dollars a pop. I tried filling them myself and it was messy. I tried buying refurbished for half the price and got about half the prints.
Then I got this. This printer is big. Bigger actually then my HP. However the ink cost is a lot less. The copies are better and this one does color as well and this one is just as fast. The days, I’m afraid, when laser was best for business are over. I can’t recommend this printer enough. Epson makes good stuff.
