Probably the last inkjet I'll ever need

I will preface this by stating that I am an IT professional both at my 'regular job' (working for the federal government) and on the side (doing some contracting work); so I deal with printers quite a bit of the time.

I had originally been on a search for a somewhat cheap, yet reliable, all-in-one color laserjet printer for our home. However, for some reason, I kept circling back to this printer, even though I'd been specifically looking for a laserjet.

I finally sat down and did some serious research, and it is my opinion (take it for what it's worth) that for small to medium print jobs (say, 100 to 250 pages at a time) this printer will be exemplary. Upon unboxing the printer, you realize this isn't a standard inkjet - the thing is NOT small. It's approximately 18" wide by 16" deep by about 14" tall...so if you're replacing an HP DeskJet or even OfficeJet, realize you're buying a serious inkjet.

Additionally, while regular (USB and wired network) setup is fairly easy, wireless setup (the mode I chose) may be a bit tougher for the standard user, as you will need to know your wireless network name, and SSID. I also found that for some reason, the Epson Connect Email Print setup tool did not run correctly the first time. (Rerunning the setup CD took care of that problem.) (These are the reason I checked "hard setup.")

HOWEVER...aside from those two things, the printer has thus far been fantastic. A simple examination of the printer itself bears testament to the quality. For example, the ink cartridges are not your standard ink cartridges; they're clear plastic boxes about 4.5" deep to 3" high by 1" wide; and there are 4 of them (black, cyan, red and yellow). Replacing all of them (if you buy OEM) will cost about $100...however, the duty cycle for these cartridges is about 2400 pages. Not your average duty cycle for an inkjet cartridges.

Other examples: Examining the outside of the printer shows actual screws holding the case together. (To me, this is a big plus - it indicates that actual HARDWARE holds the printer together, and not just a ton of plastic tabs and the like.) There are 2 recessed grooves on the bottom of the printer (one on either side) for one's hands when carrying the printer. And again, this thing is HEAVY....not some flimsy printer. Most importantly, the ink cartridges are made in such a way that they will evaporate or clog up nowhere NEAR as fast.

Last but not least, it prints FAST. When first setting up the printer, you will insert the ink cartridges and then wait about 12 minutes for initialization (not sure why it takes that long). Just go get some coffee. However, once initialized, and once you start to print, it's VERY fast. I sent a 4-page print job across my (wireless) network to the printer, and then literally got up and RAN downstairs to the printer (took me about 10 seconds or so). The print job was already done...and the colors are nice and clear, with no color bleed, and none of that 'wet' feeling.

I also tested every print method there was available. I've emailed a print job to my printer (using the Epson Connect Email Print method); I've used my iPhone and iPad 2 to print to the printer; and I've printed wirelessly from both laptops and my Mac Mini to the printer. In all cases, it works fantastically. I noticed that when you use the Epson Connect Email Print method, it emails you both when the printer receives the print job you emailed it, AND when it has actually printed. If you're away from home and want to print something to have it ready to go for you, that's a VERY handy touch. It can also be set up to email you with errors, if ink gets low, etc.

In short, I have no doubts that this will last quite a long time.

(Important note: If you're a Mac user, as I am - I use both Macs and PCs - then DON'T run the OS X installer. Plug it in directly to your MAC - regardless of whether or not it'll be networked or not - and then run the System Updater.)

Software hangs on install with W7 and support siite has nothing on it. After a couple of hours I think I have it working. But can not share printer under windows without reinstalling the software on each machine. Other printers do the driver install automaticly for you. This one does not. The supports site is VERY slow to reponded and I have a very high speed internet connection. Epson need to upgrade their end of it. Looks like a nice printer once you get the software working, but it is not worrh the effort.

      Easy Setup

      By RuthieB

      from Indianapolis, IN

      Comments about Epson� WorkForce� Pro WP-4530 All-in-One Printer:

      This printer was the easiest by far to set up on my home network. Although the directions said I would need to setup the drivers on all computers in the house, I found this to be not true. I used a USB cable when initially setting up the network, and this was on a computer with a lower OS X version than the laptops. I had to use the WEP key rather than the network password, and when I did, all worked great.

      very easy to set up wireless, scanning to usb, pc are very quick. the price is quite reasonable especially with old printer return discount of $50. Also I can print from my ipod touch, I can even send prints from anywhere to my printer at home. That was awesome.

      • Q:

        With most ink-based printers if I use a highlighter pen on a page the ink smears and runs. Will that happen on pages from this printer?
        Asked on 2/8/2013 by Bkkpr from Baltimore MD

        2 answers

        • A:

          Just used a Sharpie Accent highlighter on a page I printed a couple of days ago: no smudging at all. This printer uses pigment based ink which is far more water resistant than the dye based ink many printers use.

          Answered on 4/21/2013 by Bert Macklin F.B.I. from Pawnee, IN
        • A:

          As this printer used inkjet technology the print is very likely to smear if you use a highlighter pen on it.
