I've used Epson products since 1996 when I bought my first flatbed scanner, the name of which eludes me now but it was followed by the Perfection 'Something' 5-6 years later. Same with printers. Epson always aimed for excellent quality with a price that was affordable to the average person like myself. Nothing has changed. This WP-4020 is excellent; a breeze to set up and connect to my wireless network and great color printing right after. A number 1 recommendation from that independent rating organization too, which I found out after my purchase. Had something like $.03/page cost for a full page (can't remember exactly) ... wonderfully economic. And I bought the Perfection V33 scanner around a year and a half ago. It's another great device (I like single function devices for some unknown reason) that is wonderfully economic with excellent quality. Oh, and while the FAQ says it's not designed for full page labels, I used the most well known company's labels that has "Ink Jet Labels Specifically Designed for popular ink jet printers" on the box and they worked great - for me. I'm not advocating anything contrary to what Epson officially states! Finally, the built in wireless stays connected anywhere in my house and the printer has the WPS button same as my router so it was only a two button press to connect.

I bought the WP 4020 in late August, 2012. I printed somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 sheets, mostly B&W but also some color. In late September, the Yellow starter cartridge was virtually still unused but when printing a photo graph the colors were skewed towards the blue and the yellow print head was no longer ejecting ink. I called Epson since the unit was virtually new and after about 1 hour of trying a variety of different head cleaning manuevers, they decided the printer was defective. They shipped a new unti to me and told me I didn't have to return the defective unit. I am happy to have the new printer and it is still working after 3 days, but am concerned about the durability of this printer model. I hope it continues to function, but if it quits again, I hope it does that while still under warranty. The new printer does a good job with both color and black and white output. In addition, it is very, very fast for an inkjet printer and the duplex capability is a great feature for such an inexpensive printer. I assume that money lost on producing the printer will be made up when buying new ink.

1st Epson Printer

Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
Got our 1st Epson printer in Feb 2013. It worked quite well until Mar 25, 2013, then there was something wrong with the papertray & it stopped printing. I did all the troubleshooting & then called Epson in Calif. Ken went through all the trouble shooting again & the decision was made to replace the unit. I really like this printer. I need to be able to print out regulatory document originals with color headers & revisions hi-lighted, so this makes my job much easier. I would recommend this product. I think the 1st was just a fluke & not representative of their products. Epson was quick to rectify the problem.

Great print quality

Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
I have been researching/looking for a wireless color printer and decided on the Epson WP 4020. The wireless set-up was not as easy as other brands, but after calling Epson online tech support, I was directed to a video (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes¬eoid=202085&type=highlights) which was a great help. Though the online support tech was very abrasive, but in the end, the results were satisfactory. After a few hours, the printer was up and running well; even the wireless connection was seamless. The only negative about this unit is its large size - very bulky/takes up a lot of space. On the other hand, great prints, cheap ink refills and the printer itself was only $99 + tax with free shipping more than made up for minor issues. So far so good.....

I've used this printer for about 1 week now with no problems. Works great. Had a question about the ink levels that came with the printer but Customer Service took care of that by sending me new ink cartridges (overnight shipping) Great customer service, Thank You.

All-in-One?? Just try to find how to scan or copy!
By ViolaFish
from Stockton CA
Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
Greatly detailed User Guide for printing from computer or other devices. Not a word on how to copy or scan. The top doesn't lift, so it's not obvious how one accomplishes these tasks. And neither could their friendly support people, either online chat or phone. Online and phone support both answer pretty quickly - less quick on how to resolve your question, reading from their manuals - if it was in the manual, I wouldn't have had to call in the first place!! The good: Double-side is impressive, printing is very fast - once it gets the message from computer. Sometimes it needs a restart to decide to connect.

Workforce WP-4020

Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
I have had this printer for less than a year, I bought new ink cartridges genuine Epson and use the printer about once a month, I just tried to use it and got the flashing lights error, after many tries using the instructions I find that the blue ink has ran all over the inside of the printer. Since this is Sunday no one is available to call I will wait to see if Epson can help me Monday. 02/24/13

Great Printer
By Bugnuker

Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this printer and I was a little worried about setting up the WIFI. In reality it was VERY simple. I did it using a temporary USB connection (which is recommended) and the software tells you when to connect, when to disconnect and as long as you know the network password it can't get any simpler. The printer is quiet, fast and does double sided printing with the click of the mouse. I'm impressed.It is a large printer but, if you connect to WIFI you can put the printer where you want

Second thoughts
By B'niz and pleasure

Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
We use the printer every day. For black and white printing while attached with a USB cable, it is a good printer. Economical ink (though the tiny ink tanks that come with the printer are a bit of a cheap shot) and fast, two-sided printing. On the down side, the wireless printing function is a disaster, either excruciatingly slow or simply does not work. We've tried a dozen workarounds to no avail. Also, color printing is very poor--unclear, bands, color bleeding--you just can't get a usable color print most of the time, and I'm not talking photos, just a simple color page. Again, we've done realignments and cleanings which help for 2 or 3 pages then back to awful. It's really too bad because the print costs are definitely lower and for some things it is just fine. Unfortunately, the functionality of this printer is severely limited.

Economical Printer
By The Secret Garden Boutique
from Port Orchard WA
Comments about Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4020 Multifunction Printer:
Conservative in ink use. Recently printed the Pantone Color Chart for 2013 and found that the color clarity and value surpassed that of our office laser printer for accuracy. Using bright white Epson 24lb paper printable on both sides made a big difference. Couldn't be more pleased with the quality after using it nearly a year. When we decided to replace our older all-in-one the logical decision was to go with the WP4540 which uses the same ink cartridges.
