The Epson WorkForce 545 All-in-One Printer is affordable, efficient & easy to use. It spent a lot of time researching all the other printers & very happy with my decision. The only things I wish it had was a larger scanning bed & the ability to scan slides & film negatives in this same price range. (I know there are other scanners in the line that do this, but the price point is out of my range.)
I only recently purchased this unit, so this isn't a long term review.
Pros:
Setup and installation was pretty easy, I am using it wirelessly and even that was easy.
Both the printing and scanning worked first time I tried them, no need to fiddle with settings
Printing is fast, I can't say if the claimed speeds are correct, but it appears much faster then anything I have had
Changing ink was relatively easy
Easy to read control panel
Cons
The paper cartridge was a bit tricky to figure out, it uses a weird configuration compared to other printers
Epson was a bit chincy with some of the contruction, the paper cartridge is very lightweight, and can be difficult to take out and put back in, I suspect something might break on this
The cover for the platen glass is flimsy, and looking at the paper feed assembly, I suspect it will break easily
If you power the printer down, it can take it a bit on warmup to find the network connection and connect
Sharp printing, easy to set up and a great price, so far so good. I was able to print from all of my computers and my ipad and iphone within 10 minutes of pulling it out of the box.
Just hooked this printer up wirelessly to my Mac. Very easy setup. The test pages look great. Have not had a chance to copy, scan, or print pictures but am sure these functions will do what they're supposed to do as Epson is a very good brand.
Looked and looked for a machine that would do it all at a reasonable price for both machine and ink. I replaced a 20 year old laser printer,20 year old fax, 10 year old scanner and a 10 year old color printer with one machine! Setup was easy. It found my network, my android phones and my daughters laptop and it just... works! the only problem I have now is what to do with all of the outdated junk It replaced! LOL.
