![]() *While this is a very cheap printer, its quality is likely good enough for the occasional print or low print volume use. The cost for the toner is dirt cheap at $29.99 I suppose I should buy one given its this cheap to have one on hand if not 2 to replace the one that I took from the other printer. I ended up taking the toner from the 2nd printer to put into the first printer as a solution to replacing the toner. The first toner cartridge lasted about 18 months before running out. My wife and daughter print maybe 50 to 100 pages a month, myself maybe 5 pages if that. But also it could be a situation where you need to use it for it to wear and break and my family is a low printer use household. ![]() Normally I wouldnt buy a no-name printer, but it was worth giving it a try and I am glad I did because I havent had any troubles with them yet. I finally found a deal on newegg 2 years ago for a Laser jet and bought 2 of them for $29.99 each brand new. So I would be back to the store dumping $30 or more more on ink costs. I then would have to clean the cartridge face of dry ink and then put it back into the ink jet printer and sometimes even then it wouldnt fix the clog issue. Id have to perform a clean process and waste ink and that sometimes didnt fix the issue. My ink cartridges would dry up on me when sitting a month or longer without use. I myself moved away from inkjets because of my infrequency of printing was costing me. Getting generic ink or refiller kits is one way to break out of their business model but that usually leads to troubles. Here is the ink from epson: Looks like its $56.99 (USD) for the set of ink cartridges Most Inkjet printers are marketed to grab you with a price you cant refuse and the company then makes up for the cost of the printer in a royalty type of way that the more printing you get out of their product the more costly it is to you in that ink doesnt need to be $30 or more per cartridge. ![]() When it comes to printers I look at quality, features, and price, reviews, and then one final check because I have been bitten by this before is the cost for the ink and how many pages its suggested that it can print per cartridge or cartridge set. If you're in the market for a new printer or All-In-One, I think you should at least take a look at the WF 3640. I've never used anything but OEM ink, but the reviews on some of these non-Epson cartridges are outstanding Highly rated inexpensive (off-brand) ink cartridges readily available (Amazon, etc.).Remote printing capability (from cell phones, tablets, etc).Excellent print quality (at least for text - don't know about photo).Claimed speed of 19 ppm (black) and 10 ppm (color).Large LCD screen (3 1/2") with VERY user friendly navigation and controls.Ethernet & WiFi capable with ridiculously easy network setup.Two 250 sheet paper trays + rear tray for specialty paper, envelopes, etc.Installed it yesterday and the features are amazing at this price: Yes, it's a great business printer but there's no reason it can't be used for home or home office purposes. And while I wasn't looking for a "loaded" printer, this was just too good to pass up. It's actually $50 cheaper than the next LOWER model (WF 3620). After doing some research I found a great deal on the Epson Work Force (WF) 3640 at $110 (direct from Epson, Amazon, etc.). I needed a new printer for mostly personal use (and to provide light/occasional backup for business printers if needed). I mean let's face it - it's a printer, what's to recommend? HOWEVER.
