Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4535 DWF user reviews

simple 17 May 2013

Good: cost efficient

Bad: complicated

Comment: I was very happy wwhen I calculated the savings I will make by using that Inkjet All in on instead of my old Laserjet printer, so I went straight to buy it. but when it came to set it up, what a drag, I felt like I needed a PHD to do that. first no installation CD in the box then I had to go through the network and there it was so messy so many choices but I was unable to find the Start HERE button.
Then comes the network setup, I was so unlucky that the first machine I got was defectuous, so had to get another one and I thought that just using the same IP will be enough to set up the printer as the first one.. but no, impossible to connect because the software also use the mac address to config the port. Terrible every PC's connected had to be reconfigured.
then there is another problem, my company use 80 gsm paper for printing of low quality true but still working fine with any other printers till today, the Epson WF45 35 just cant take only 1 page at the time and very often gets 2-3 pages at once.
so ok I now need to use better paper so my ink savings will be eaten up by my paper cost. there is still the speed. Not if I have to make descent photo printing, but for daily office print that is ok.

One last note, I do not know if that is allowed here, but this review was not allowed on EPSON UK web site... I wonder why?
