Epson - WorkForce Pro WF-7840 Wireless Wide-format All-in-One Inkjet Printer - Black

This printer is a beast. Much larger than other printers I have had. Can print 11x17 and 8 1/2x111 from two different paper trays. Easy to setup but there are a lot of settings in the control panel. One nice feature is you can push a button and the output tray goes back in. Them when you print it automatically comes back out. Very nice quality prints that do not run if they get wet with a little water. The scanner works great. By some spare ink, you will need it once you start printing.

Easy setup. Probably more printer than I need for my home/office. I was looking for a multifunction printer with fax, scan, etc that did borderless photo prints, with decent size ink cartridges that I don't need to constantly replace. The ability to print larger size borderless photographs and prints is a nice benefit as well. Per the photos, it takes up a good amount of space on my desk. The software is a little clunky, not as nice as the HP that I had previously. Overall, it's probably the best all in one printer that I've had and will hopefully more than meet my needs for a long time.

I'm very excited about this printer, so far! 5 stars for fantastic color matching (see photo), speed, and the wide range of print sizes it offers. Minus one star for somewhat unclear error messaging and imperfect photocopying. For instance, when I put 13 x 19 paper into the rear feeder and selected A3+, the printer was happy, but when I added a slightly smaller document onto the flatbed scanner and pressed "copy," it kicked back an error saying I can't copy to that paper size. After fumbling around to figure out why my large-format printer was saying it can't print on large format paper, I finally digitally changed the paper size to A3 (keeping the original oversized paper in the feeder), and it worked fine. I'm docking the score because it was an unnecessary and confusing error that wasted time. I've also had trouble enlarging standard copies (enlarging a business card onto 8.5x11). The option to enlarge is always greyed out, so I'm not sure what the trick is there. I'll read the instructions eventually, but something as simple as enlarging a copy shouldn't require it. One major bonus: I'm very happy with the ink cartridge yield! I've printed 20-30 color and B&W documents over the past few weeks, then printed the large-format full-color doc in the attached photo--all from the original cartridges that came with the printer. I still haven't seen a low-ink warning, even after the full-color copy, so I'm very impressed there. Regarding the attached photo: The original is a folded poster that came with an oversized puzzle. It's printed on very thin paper, so it's starting to tear and wrinkle. For preservation, I copied it onto Epson's A3+ Matte Premium Presentation paper, and as you can see, the color match is nearly perfect! Certain sections of the print are somewhat blurry (see the lower left 1/6th), which I'm assuming is because the original image is folded into 6 sections and that corner probably didn't lay flat against the glass. Maybe in the next version, the printer's foam backing needs to be a few millimeters thicker to compensate for damaged originals. However, note that not one of the wrinkles showed up on the copy. Nice! Overall, I'm very glad I bought this printer. It's going to be lifesaver for printing client proofs before sending to the packaging printer.
