Epson WorkForce 845 All-in-One Printer review

The Epson WorkForce 845 is the company's latest flagship all-in-one printer for medium to large offices that need a multifunction device for printing a high volume of documents, photos, and presentations. The 845 serves up plenty of features to assist...

The Epson WorkForce 845 excels in print speeds and output quality, with hardware working overtime in autoduplexing, wireless networking, and mobile printing support by way of Epson's suite of Connect mobile printing services.

Photo print speeds are slightly lower than for the average inkjet, and the packaging doesn't include the USB and Ethernet cables required for a tethered connection.

Though it's slightly more expensive than competing inkjet workhorses, we recommend the Epson WorkForce 845 for its refined design and Epson's Connect cloud-printing portfolio.

Epson WorkForce 845 review

The Epson WorkForce 845's annoyances pale in comparison with its strengths: speed, capacity, high-quality output, and affordability. It's a bargain for a small-office MFP. Just make sure to deal with the wireless push-scanning issue at setup time so...

Epson WorkForce 845 Review: Fast, Vast, and Affordable

The $199 (as of February 6, 2012) Epson WorkForce 845 color inkjet multifunction printer has a lot going for it. In particular, its above-average capacity and paper handling, top-notch performance, and very good output will fulfill the needs of a small...

Fast print speeds on plain paper ; Extremely affordable ink ; Generous paper capacity

Difficult push-scan setup

Lacking only a legal-size scanner platen, this small-office MFP contender has speed, dual input trays, and sharp output.

Epson WorkForce 845 Review: Many Positives, Few Negatives

Designed with small office and home office (SOHO) users in mind, the Epson WorkForce 845 can print up to 15 ppm in black and features automatic two-sided printing.

Full 7.8" touchscreen panel ; Speedy monochrome printing ; Very energy efficient ; Fast scanning ; Reliable

Touchscreen, dual paper trays, all-in-one!

There's a few mixed reviews about this printer but so far I like it. It is a bit large but not in width but rather in height. Its because of the dual paper trays which I happen to like. I do lots of printing on various papers and like that I get to...

Super easy setup for Win & Mac, Fast printing speeds, Fast scanner, Quality print outs.

Larger footprint (dual paper trays), Ink prices ($46 for cmy and $24 blk), Cleaning inks utility uses way too much ink.
