Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4530

While Epson categorizes the WorkForce Pro WP-4530 ($300) color multifunction printer (MFP) in the business category, it has features that make it an excellent choice for many home users, such as great ink yields, an automated document feeder (ADF), and duplex publishing – as lengthy as you can make room for a gadget that is bigger compared to most printers designed for home use.

Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4530 Review

Features and design

The WP-4530 is a four-function (publish, check, copy, and fax) color inkjet-based MFP. While faxing has passed its prime time, it is amazing how often it is still being used. Many companies and organizations decline any document that is in a digital style.

At 13.4 inches, the WP-4530 is a little bit taller compared to many of the inkjet MFPs we’ve evaluated. That is because of 2 aspects of the MFP’s design. The first is that the WP-4530 uses huge ink cartridges packed by going down the front panel. The XL cartridges cost $25 for color and $39 for black and provide approximated yields of about 1,200 color web pages and 2,400 monochrome web pages.

Other Driver: Epson WorkForce 645

That outcomes in a per-page cost of simply over 2 cents a web page in color and simply about a penny-and-a-half for monochrome. That is significantly much less than simply about any printer and cheaper than most inkjet printers.

The input tray is large, holding 250 sheets – a half-ream – while the back feed can accommodate another 80 sheets. The back feed is also used whenever you’re using anything other than standard/bright-white paper in the MFP – changing the paper enters the drivers immediately defaults to the back input tray.

Epson doesn’t provide a capability for the output tray, at the very least none that we could find, but there is no chance it can come close to the combined 330-sheet input capacity, so you will need to maintain your eye peeled off throughout lengthy publish runs.

Automated duplexing is provided in both paper feeds as well as the scanner. The ADF has a capability of 30 web pages, so you can fax, check, or copy lengthy documents and ignore them.

On the front panel are a variety of manages and a 2.5-inch LCD. One drawback is that there’s no sd card reader.

As with many MFPs customized to a small workplace or workgroup, the WP-4530 has an excellent connection. The WP-4530 also offers remote publishing via Epson Connect, AirPrint, and Google Shadow Publish along with USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. This is one reason a workplace MFP works great for a “connected” home.
