Good all-in-one, bad company ink tactics,
This printer is a few steps up form my Workforce 635 which I’ve reviewed in March of 2011. The front interface and buttons are the same layout which is grouped in sections (Fax, Copy, Scan) and has its own set of buttons accordingly. While in theory its easy, seeing all the buttons covering the front is a bit confusing but you’ll get used to it. One big main start and stop button is plenty, not one for each group. I got the 635 in only March and now its November and Epson has replaced this model already. It seems every 6 months is a new release which is just too soon.
This model is basically the same as the earlier 635 with a different set of inks, its #’s 127 but you can use the normal capacity of 126 fro what i’m now finding out. But the different # inks ave very confusing because the packaging some say Ultra High Capacity and others say Extra capacity even in the same # code. The replacement inks for CMY are $41 and Black is $19, which is about $60 bucks comparing it to the price of this printer which at the time of my review is $150. It costs half the amount of a brand new one.
I’ve also noticed that if an ink tank is low and you get the “replace/ink empty” error on the screen, you cannot even print in just black ink till you get another ink. It locks the printer out and your stuck till you replace the empty ink, shame on you epson!
Other than the ink situation the printer itself is fast in both scanning and printing but much slower if printing photos, especially on photo paper. The quality is great especially in black though colors sometimes look a little off compared to my canon. I use this printer for copying and printing stuff off the web and leave the photo printing to my canon. I do like the flip up paper feeder on top and is something I like about most Epson’s.
I use a mac and windows, the setup for mac was super easy but for windows, it was a little more tricky. Because the window pc wasn’t the “main” pc, you have to install a network program that configures it slightly different which I find weird.
Lastly, I have a larger version of this printer the 845 for my office which has the addition of dual paper trays and a touch screen. Honestly, there is no difference between them other than those two things. For me, I’d say spend as little as you can on printers because they don’t last like they used to and the inks are overly priced. That’s just my opinion. I gave this printer 4 stars for the printer itself but not for Epson. I wish they would stick to one set of inks though. Of P.S. don’t even think of using non epson inks, they will clog the printer up bad that’s if you can even get them to work.
Pros:
size
features
speed
separate ink tanks
wireless
Epson connect lets you print from iPad and iPhone
Cons:
windows install is a pain
paper trays are cheap plastic and stick sliding in or out
too many buttons on the front

An all-in-one with an array of extras,
The Epson Workforce 645 is a wireless, all-in-one printer that is perfect for home or for a very small office. It is similar in size and appearance to the Epson WorkForce 840, which I also own, but has only one paper tray, more tools for printing and editing photos and the front LCD panel is not touch screen. (I find I actually prefer the non-touch screen on this printer. The buttons make it quicker to perform each task.)
This is not a small printer, but it is not excessively large. It measures 17″W x 14 1/2″D x 9″H when closed, however you will need additional space in front and behind the printer to load the paper tray and to clear paper jams. It is a combination of high gloss, matte, and textured black plastic and feels acceptably solid.
Upon opening this printer, you will find a lot of protective plastic and packing tape. Go over it carefully and remove it all before installing and using the printer. There is a driver and software CD, a set up sheet which guides you through unpacking, a quick guide manual, four full-size ink cartridges and a telephone cable for faxing. Note: because this is a wireless printer, there is no usb printer cable included. If you do not have a wireless network or prefer to use a direct connection, you will need a usb printer cable before setting up your printer. Also, the installation software recommends using a printer cable temporarily for set up, so I am disappointed that there is none included (although this is the standard practice with most printer manufacturers.)
A tip: avoid using the CD that comes with this printer to install the software, if possible. Instead, go to Epson dot com and search for the driver combo software for this model in their download section. This will be the latest version of the drivers and software. As a general rule, it is always preferable to download drivers vs. using the included disc, which can be months or even a year old.
The software must be installed on every computer that you wish to use this printer with. This can take some time if you have several computers on your network.
Setting up the wireless capability is easy. You will need to know your wireless router’s SSID (name), the kind of security (if any), and the password (if any). If your wireless network is not set to broadcast, like mine, you will add it manually through the front control panel.
The four included ink cartridges are full-size, extra-capacity, but the manual states that a certain amount of ink is used for the initial priming so you won’t get quite as many pages out of these.
The printer itself is exceptional. Epson has added so many fine features that it will satisfy almost any home printing needs. Briefly, it will copy, fax, scan and print. It has dedicated buttons on the front control panel for photo printing and even basic photo editing, copying (enlarging and reducing), scanning and faxing. There is a memory card slot and a usb port on the front of the printer so you can print directly from your camera, a memory card, a thumb drive, a portable hard drive, etc. There is a document feeder which allows you to copy or scan multiple pages without loading each page individually. It is also set up for easy, double sided-printing. It is capable of airprint, Google Cloud Print, and Epson connect email print, too! All this and it prints blazingly fast.
The print quality is excellent. As with all inkjet printers, the quality of the paper greatly determines the quality of the printed page. It is near laser quality if you use premium inkjet paper and is quite acceptable using cheap, copy paper. I am impressed with the photo quality when I use glossy photo paper and matte photo paper produces good results also. You can increase the drying time through menus on the control panel and I recommend that when printing multiple photos or there is a tendency to smear.
Airprint allows you to print wirelessly from your iPad or iPod! There are very few printers on the market at this time with airprint capabilities. My iPad2 picked it up immediately and the document printed flawlessly. Google Cloud Print lets you print to this printer from any computer, anywhere. (You must install Google Chrome to use this feature.) Epson Connect works similarly to Google Cloud Print and actually assigns your printer an email address so that you can email documents or photos directly to your printer from anywhere!
Really, there are so many features that I urge you to read the included quick guide and also spend some time checking out the more extensive online manual. There is also a good troubleshooting section in the online manual.
I currently own and use 3 Epson inkjet printers and I continue to be impressed with their performance and print quality. This particular model is especially suited for home use or a very small office, IMO, and is a good value for the price.

Nice, not great.,
I resisted buying an all-in-one inkjet, concerned it just meant more things to go wrong in an already complicated piece of technology, and spent years getting by with copier and fax freeware. After trying this Epson Workforce printer, I have to admit I’ve been living wrong. Things I like are that the footprint is no larger than my old HP printer, alone. The copier and fax functions are fast, have automatic two-sided and multiple-page feed and in color mode the copier function renders colors accurately. The text quality is very high and the print speed quite good. Though it is feature-rich, I do have some reservations. The controls, which use a mix of touch-screen and keypad inputs, are not quite as simple as a completely touch-screen driven unit. There is no simple way to print envelopes–you have to pull out the paper tray, remove the paper supply, consult the manual for the proper orientation, insert one envelope at a time and re-insert the paper tray. The components, including the paper tray, are uniformly of a very thin plastic. The lid, which contains part of the copier and fax feeder mechanism, hinges on plastic and there is no real suspension to prevent its dropping like a rock. The overall impression is of delicate construction. For a careful home user this might not be a problem, but I am skeptical it will stand up to any more than light to moderate use. Bottom line: Despite its name, I wouldn’t recommend this printer for office use. However, for the average home user I think this is a very nice printer and, if at a discounted price, a good value.
