The Epson WorkForce 40 color inkjet printer is aimed at small-office users. It is particularly good with respect to two main things. First, its purchase price is very low. Second, the Epson WorkForce 40 color inkjet printer achieves excellent printing. However, Epson charges way too much for its ink. The WorkForce 40 is vailable at a price of $130. As far as printing speeds are concerned, it offers excellent printing speeds. The printer boasts of generating around 19 pages per minute for text and around 6 pages per minute for color graphics. These values are far more than the average values offered by even the best printers in this segment. The printer however slows down if you use Epson’s own photo paper for printing purposes. You will find the print quality not up to the mark but is good enough for any kind of internal office use. The printed text is pretty clean but the photos are a bit grainy, but good enough to be put in office brochures and leaflets.
The WorkForce 40 is pretty sound and versatile on the connectivity front. It offers you USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity and support. As far as paper capacity is concerned, it is on the lower side. As the features, it carries a rear, vertical input tray that has the maximum paper holding capacity of 100 sheets of letter-size paper. The control panel on the printer houses five buttons, each of them provided with an LED and icon labels. The LEDs on these buttons flash at different speeds to apprise you about different states of the printer. The printer is shipped with a Quick Guide that tells you how to open the cartridge cover and replace them.
The WorkForce 40 offers extremely high ink costs. Its standard-size black cartridge lasts for around 230 pages at an average of 7.4 cents per page. The color cartridges (cyan, magenta, and yellow) last for 310 pages and give an average of 4 cents per page. If you want extreme print speeds from your printer and want to use it for your small-office printing needs, then Epson WorkForce 40 printer can prove to be a good choice for you.
