WorkForce WF-7840 Twin Tray - All-in-One A3+ Wireless Colour Printer with Scanner, Copier, Fax, Ethernet, Wi-Fi Direct and ADF

I bought this as a replacement for a similar Epson that lasted 14 years without a problem but then just fell apart. I wanted a direct replacement and this was the nearest: like all Epson printers/workstations it was easy to set up and use. The one thing to be wary of is firmware updates: it seems that if you accept any, the printer will no longer work with compatible cartridges. This may be true or not, but I am not willing to find out the hard way, so I reuse to accept them.

Slightly reminiscent of the Borg cube! I needed something that would scan and print A3 and this beast fits the bill and does everything (scanning and printing) full duplex too. Reviews were favourable and after a day or so of play time with it I'm pretty happy. I've also invested in a set of refillable cartridges with ARC (auto reset chips) which will save a fortune in consumables costs. The equivalent (and functionality the same) EcoTank ET-16650 version of this printer is over a grand. If you want to go down the reusable cartridge route, make sure you do NOT update the printer firmware when the printer and PC software install (which is the least slick part of the experience) tries to make you to. With a bit of additional set up effort all the functionality can be operated from the printer colour touchscreen too to scan to email, or Windows shared drive and also USB memory stick. Settings profiles can be saved to the printer that reflect your setup and used like a telephone contact. Nice! Photo printing on 'best' setting, even on plain copier paper, to my eye is more than very decent. Regular printing of more usual text and graphics is all excellent to my eye. Print speed, scanning quality and functionality is all much better than my last printer. Given the weight of this thing and the number of bits in it, I have no idea how they do it for the money quite frankly. Back in the day I paid 50% more than the cost of this multifunctional beast for my very first HP A4 inkjet back in 1991! Extraordinary! The third paper feed at the back means thicker card can be put through. All paper trays will accept more paper and envelope sizes than you could practically shake a stick at. So far it's exceeding my expectations and I think remarkably good value.

The scanner software has changed from the package that came with my Epson WF 7610. The new package is not nearly as easy to use or as flexible. There are very limited user choices, double sided or multi page documents are difficult to manage, and its difficult to scan a small section of a document.

Hands down the worst printer ive ever owned. I was duped by the good reviews on here but I've never even managed a SINGLE quality print in all my hours of trying. Every single one has had lines running down it despite however many times I've cleaned the printer heads (and thus wasted an insane amount of ink each time). I've sent it off to be repaired which cost me £100 - I've wasted hundreds of £ on ink. Its a complete piece of junk and I cant return it as its passed the returns window. I feel ripped off. This printer is simply not a quality product - stay well away.

A beautiful machine. Neeeds careful calibration for colour pictures, but well worth iT: results as good as I've ever seen from a YCM+B printer. Tried the 7310 before buying this, which seemed to have a number of small mechanical glitches which are ironed out completely in the slightly bigger machine. Well worth the extra £60. I'd happily have paid £100 or so more for a tank-fed ink delivery system, but I suppose you can't have everything all at once. Not crazy about the interface or the manuals which seem to have been written in a pre-web age, but it interfaces well enough with W11 and Adobe software, and after a little work it'll do a lot it was never designed for. A really competent A3+ printer/scanner.

Great product, though I waited to long for the delivery as amazon sent it on a round trip of 260 miles to get it to the carriers 16 miles from it's original start point (not a good carbon footprint)

We are very pleased with this printer. It fits in better than the last one we had and once set up, prints beautifully.

Print quality is good, scanner works well and I've enjoyed the easy setup and network connectivity. The only downside is it won't print from usb. Which is a little frustrating. It can scan to usb, it can read usb, but it won't print from it.
