Epson WP-4535 DWF Review

"Editor's Choice"

Print quality for text and graphics is very good, although the WP-4535 doesn't print photos very well onto plain paper, so anyone looking to print high-quality photos regularly for marketing materials would be better looking elsewhere. If you're more interested in fast printing, low running costs and versatility though, MacWorld declared this Epson to be a great choice.

Although the WP-4535 DWF is an office inkjet, it still prints very decent photos, which is good if you have a home office and still wish to print your pictures. Both plain and photo paper can be loaded at the same time and there is an ADF for the fax and scan functions. Photos print quickly, and a PictBridge socket means a camera can be connected. Images are bright yet natural.

"Editor's Choice"

CNET weren't all that sure that the inkjet WP-4535 DWF could actually rival the quality and speeds on offer from colour laser printers, as Epson had claimed, but they happily admit they were wrong to doubt it. Printing speed is twice that of its inkjet peers, and with a great range of features, low unit price, and affordable running costs, they say it's an excellent business buy.

Value for money: 10 out of 10 points, "Recommended"

With a price tag under the £200 mark, the Epson Workforce Pro WP-4535DWF is a multifunction colour printer which can output 10 pages per minute, or 8.5 duplex sides. Not only can it print better photos than a laser printer, but it sends faxes too, and Trusted Reviews reckon all that makes it a bit of a bargain buy. And at less than 2p per black page, running costs are also low.

Value for money: 4.5 out of 5 stars, "Best Buy"

A £300 price tag may appear expensive, but the Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4535 DWF will soon make up for this with lower running costs. With such a great range of features, PC Advisor considered it one of the most versatile models ever, but they do point out that good laser printers still manage to print better text quality, and there are better photo printers for the graphics.

"Business Buy"

The print quality from the Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4535 DWF is fantastic, and print speeds are incredibly fast. Expert Reviews considered it to be a great multi-function printer for the business environment. It has been crammed with features, and although it will cost about the same as a similarly specified laser printer to buy, the running costs are much lower.
