Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 Inkjet Multifunction Color Printer

This will be my last inkjet printer. I have had several in the past and every one of them had to be thrown away due to plugged printheads. I was seriously considering a laser color all in one, but decided to give this WF-4630 a chance based on new technology and some very positive reviews I found online. This printer is fast and the quality is very good. Scan works great. The paper tray is pretty big as well. Only draw back was install asks if you are connecting via USB or wireless. In my case I need both because wireless does not work while I'm connected to VPN. However, the printer was availible on my wireless network automatically. After print job there is a slight high pitch noise but it lasts about 3 seconds. Ink is expensive. Only time will tell if Epson's claims of lower consumption are true.

I bought this six months ago as I wanted a scanner with a paper feeder and dedicated scanners were more expensive. I an so glad that I did as not only is the scanning excellent but the printing function is superb. I do not need to use it every day but I have had no instance of head clogs and have not needed to change the initial cartridges yet. I have linked up the fax which works as expected, though I seldom use it. Copying is a breeze, whether using the ADF or the flat bed. My only comment is that it is a big machine, and if the height could be reduced that would be great. But not if is going to affect the performance adversely. Setup on a Mac system was simple and the wireless function works as it should - flawlessly (so far). I would unreservedly recommend this machine for general use.

Setup was seamless and the printer works well from IPad IPhone and Apple Mac Lap tops. Scans well and prints very fast compared to other printers. Was a little difficult to find where to load photo print paper but it goes in the rear feeder and finally selected the right feed. Nice prints but haven't figured out how to get them borderless.

I was scared to buy an ink printer but I'm really surprise! The quality is really good and it's REALLY hard to see the difference between this printer and a laser printer! I LOVE my new printer! I will do a really good review of this printer on my website.

A great printer/copier/fax. works well, colours are good and no streaking. Very fast and double sided. The first one broke after about nine months and Epson had a new one at my door two days later. the only annoying part of the whole thing was this review. I couldn't just give it five stars and leave it at that.

I've been pleased with the print speed and low ink consumption (compared to my last All in One) and for a small home-based business, this product offers great ROI. It actually prints standard business envelopes without any fuss (it was a major challenge to print envelopes on my previous machine) and although I don't print a lot of them, its a nice feature. One small complaint is the fact that it won't print clear address labels, such as the Avery easy peel; the ink is so smudged that the information is completely unreadable. The Avery support person suggested I use the specialty paper offered by Epson but they don't produce a version of the label paper for the 4630 so I'm back to hand-writing addresses.

All in all I am very pleased with the printer so far. There is one thing though, the set up for the fax has only room for up to 9 digits. Most of our phone numbers are 10 digits. It was very frustrating as I would have liked to set up the fax with the initial setup.

If you purchase this machine, be happy that you did! But do not expect it to run well for more than 12 to 14 months. It will FAIL. I have had several of these machines, I have stuck with Epson brand ink in the last 3 machines to see if that would improve the length of working life. It does NOT. It will run streaks when copying or it will print streaks when printing. There is and will be issues with this machine.

I am very disappointed that this printer will not easily save scans to pdf files on the hard drive. There must be a way, but it looks like it involves several steps each time.. I have an old 4530 that worked great - and still will work great at this task. i was replacing it because it will no longer feed envelopes from the rear tray; and I need to be able to print envelopes.

After having gone online to find a reliable all-in-one printer, I chose the WF-4630. Initially, the device worked fine. Less than one year in, the print head died on me... Epson was kind enough to provide me with a replacement machine. And now the mechanism that feeds the paper in the new machine is jammed permanently. Two lemons out of two? I believe that this machine is well designed, but assembled with poor components and I am paying the price for it right now.
