Works really well with Windows on Mac computer no problems at all

Part of my wife's anniversary present. This is a work horse that keeps on going....

We are very happy with printer and so excited it works with our iPhones!

The Epson 4740 is a great printer for home office and for printing photos.

My new printer is a big step over my 2 prior Epson printers at a fair price.

This printer I will recommend to any of my Freinds is very good and reliable

I honestly wasn’t expecting to be impressed when I was offered to beta test the Epson WF-4740, as I already had a multi-function printer at home that I liked. I’m glad to say I was wrong! I had about two weeks to put the machine through its paces, so I haven’t done extensive testing but so far it’s been great. Here’s why: - Build quality is solid. This is a heavy printer, to the extent that, when I saw the unpacking instructions want you to pull the printer out of the box using plastic bag handles, I thought the bag would split due to the weight of the printer (fortunately it did not). It was also securely packed, and all loose or moveable components were attached with so much blue tape I could probably build a Smurf. No wussy, creaky plastic pieces here. The ink cartridges were both taped and vacuum sealed to keep them from leaking or drying out. - Set up was pretty easy. I used the quick-start guide and was able to get the test print pages going within a few minutes. Wifi setup was decent; the first time the software on my PC thought the wifi setup had failed (likely a timeout issue) but running it a second time resolved it. I was able to print from my iPhone directly as an AirPrint device within minutes of connecting the printer to my home wifi - Two thumbs up on the print quality. It’s inkjet, so don’t expect laser print quality, but it’s not far off and doesn’t scream “this will run in the rain” like a lot of older inkjet technology. Colors on plain paper are completely usable (so you can print a lot of cat pictures and stick them to your fridge) and when I used glossy photo paper, I was solidly impressed. The colors popped and the black was not greyed-out - Noise level is fairly low (the cats did not panic when the printer started) though, being inkjet, you will hear cartridge carrier and paper advance noise. Once you’re done printing, you may head a little additional noise, which I believe is the ink cartridge carrier resetting and/or self-cleaning. - Scanning worked flawlessly, even at 1200dpi (which would cause my other multi-function printer to throw errors). Speed to scan is good, and color representation is clear. The interface is nice and simple as well, asking you just the right questions (what are you scanning, where do you want to save the file, what do you want to name it, what the scan dpi is, etc). - The control panel is great! It’s honestly a relief to not have to squint at a tiny non-backlit monochrome display to determine what mode I’m in and what the printer is trying to tell me. The icons are unique enough to be fairly self-explanatory, and the fact that the console pivots means you can view it easily whether it’s at eye level or higher / lower when you’re using it. Some things to know: -Printer does not come with a USB or Ethernet cable, but you probably have a shoebox full of both at home should you decide not to use it as a wireless printer - The ink cartridges are starter ones, but the estimates are about 450-500 pages, so you’ll still be able to print a lot of cat pictures before worrying about ordering the standard or XL cartridges as a refill. - Control panel has beeps turned on by default, which is a tad annoying, but the menu option to turn off the sounds is fairly easy to locate - The second paper tray does specify “plain paper only” so if you’re printing glossy photos, use the top tray I did not have a chance to test the fax functions (no landline at home anymore), or the “print from USB” feature, though I expect to play with that over the next few weeks. Overall, if I was looking for a new color multi-function printer, this would be a very strong contender. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4740 All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Had one before good product Ink is cheap ......i would Recommend

Working over the WiFi connection , this is considerably slower than my previous printer.

I like the features that our old home office printer doesn't have and it's quite

Perfect fit and great quality, would definitely purchase again

With several computers using the printer it’s showing to be very durable.

nice printer and a good value - time will tell after some usage how it holds up

Recently purchased and thus far very happy with this purchase.

It worked well for sometime (less than two years). Just shy of the two year mark, the print cartridges started giving error codes (as a result of replacing ink). I fixed one, then another would appear. I called EPSON, but their product supportability strategy has plenty of room for improvement . If you only need a printer with a life cycle of 2 years, this is great. If you are looking for more bank for your buck, look at something else.

Needed a good printer/scanner at home. This one does very well

The quality is excellent. Setup was easy. The only issue I have is with the scanner. Unless the original is clear the scan quality is not always good.

Works well for small applications, would probably buy a HP small office unit instead next time. Ink expensive.

One of the most efficient printers I have ever used. Very easygoing

I got this for wife to replace an old hp. Works flawlessly
