I have had this printer a few nonths now and it has been super to use. Crisp, clear printing with good speed. Copy machine feature is very good for home either black and white or color. The ink supplies seem to last a long time and I really like the individual color tanks. The company I work with uses red and blue for all their logos abd marketing. So, I appreciate being able to just replace those colors.
First, set up of this printer is a snap .... even for those of us who use a Mac computer. The option to use standard (126) or high yield (127) inks is a boon to those who wish to get the greatest number of pages per ink cartridge or for those who print only a limited amount in color but heavy use of black text printing (those in the latter camp can mix 126 color inks with 127 black). This is my first printer with an Automatic Document Feeder, and enjoy that convenience when I copy multi-page documents. Initially I will not be using the fax function, but when I move my home office later this year, I probably will connect the fax. I have used Epson printers prior to this and I must say they work well. To top it all off, Epson produces some of the finest inks ever to go into a consumer inkjet printer. The result: Rich color saturation and archival quality images that come from the printer exceptionally dry to the touch.
I 'm loving the Workforce 545. It's not expensive, it's reliable (everything works), a great size for a desktop. - The only problem I've encountered is needing a landline (i have a home business) in order to use the fax. And- I'll probably get one since Hurricane Sandy rendered my digital bundle inoperative for 7 days (phone, csble, tv).
Very happy with my new printer. This is my first Epson printer. I wanted a printer that I could print from my iPad. It was easy to set up and I have already been able to print several recipes from my iPad.
I like everything about this printer except the wifi set up on computers! My last printer allowed for a PC to just print with out the software but not this epson 545! I hate software! The less the better! However, the AirPrint and google print features are awesome! Overall, very good product for the money!
I bought this printer just today. I found Epson at Sony website. If Sony carries the Epson for there computers...than...I could not go wrong. I have owned other name brand printers, not pleased. Many satisfied customers here at Epson. I look forward to receiving my new Epson printer. Thank you George @ Epson.
