Epson WorkForce WF-7840DTW | A3+ 4-in-1 Printer - Duplex Printing, Scan, Copy, Fax - WiFi Direct, Ethernet, PrecisionCore, 25ppm Black/12ppm Colour, Mobile, Economy Inks

We are a small business and use this printer daily. Bought it 6 months ago and it works flawlessly - good quality prints produced quickly and easily. Yes, the inks are expensive but if you only pay £225 for a bit of technology this complex and sophisticated, where else is the manufacturer going to make their money..? Highly recommended.

One thing I needed was a manual paper slot at the back which solves the problem with alignment of paper and different paper sizes. 👌 It now prints what I need. Also this accepts XXL ink cartridges for a lot of printing like 2200 pages.

My second Epson A3 print, scan, copier. Print quality very good for basic prints, photos & high resolution artwork. Scan quality excellent. A capricious machine!! - prone to paper jams, but clear instructions & processes to clear them. The touch screen for setting paper settings in the 3 trays is fiddly & to print, you must match settings in your print spec. But have found some ways round it! Inks v expensive. Don't update firmware if you want to use non- Epson inks. It suits my artwork & photo needs v well.

Exceeds expectations. It's copying my art work beautifully. It's enabling me to be far more creative.

Scanning provision is poor in comparison with my previous MFC (Brother). They do not use WIA scanner software, so Adobe Photoshop won't connect to import from scanner. Setting scan dimensions at preview is automated and inflexible. It will crop irregular shapes or include stuff you may not need, rather than allowing the user to set a scan box to encompass what they desire. You can work around this, but it is less convenient than it needs to be. The print function is very good but it’s irritating that it tries to put you off using compatible inks, but thankfully, does not prevent it. I use perfectly good open market compatible inks at a third of the price. The Epson ink deal would be wrong for me and the cost of normal Epson ink cartridges is extortionate. You have to program the paper type (size and quality) on the machine when it would be nice to reset the paper quality from the PC

Sad to have this product

Loved this printer till the print head got blocked. The only issue I found is you had to manually close the print receiving tray and the copies produced when using the. Auto feeder were slightly ‘not straight’ Apart from that my printer broke, I’ve copied below the feedback given re-ink cartridges This is a warning. I purchased a printer for over £200 used this ink system and now the printer is junk because of this ink system. Ok so what happened. After months of research I decided to buy a new printer for over £200, how ever I found the genuine ink cartridges way over priced, so I decided to use this ink system. I purchased this system the ink and started to use it. All was great for a while but suddenly the printer would only print thin cyan streaks on the paper not what was expected from this cartridge. After a ton of cleaning and print head cleaning I thought the cyan ink cartridge may be faulty, so I purchased a ‘proper’ ink cartridge, installed it but found no difference. I then consulted several specialists who all agreed that there must be a foreign object blocking the ink jet. So I now have a very expensive none working printer, the manufacturer does not sell print heads, the ink system company says not our problem, but still nothing works. So you have been warned about this system. Me, I will try to flush the cyan ink system, but then will thoroughly flush all these ink cartridges, and filter all the bottled ink through filter paper - it’s going to be a pain but I now believe it’s the only way to go. It all depends on getting the printer working though. No printer, then the whole ink system is just trash. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

It has too many 'auto' features which are overly complicated for the normal user and actually slow down the printing process by the time you have worked your way through correcting its automatic choices. I am capable of just pressing an A3 / A4 button to choose print size, it often gets confused. Another stupid feature is the paper receiving tray that has a motor to slide it in or out! What the hell for? I can do that myself. Sorry but too complicated and a bit 'plasticky' compared to my WF7525 that it replaced. Print quality is very good. Scanning interface on PC is now more difficult to use than before. Have had Epson printers for years and always been 100% but this one I have to say 80%. Its getting a bit like the newest cars are now...too automated, too complicated.
