Epson WorkForce WF-3620 Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer with WiFi Direct, Copy, Scan, Fax | Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready | Perfect for Home Office & Small Business Printing Needs

UPDATE: The black failed on this printer. I tried cleaning the print head with a cleaning kit and replacing the cartridge. Neither worked. So it is now just a paper weight. I'll try HP next. My original review follows. I was impressed with the printer until now.Just got my new printer and printed a test page successfully. It took about half an hour to unpack and set up the printer, including the wireless interface to the computer. The setup instructions were very clear, there were just a lot of steps. The printer was heavier than I expected, since my previous inkjet printer was very light and felt almost like a toy. This one is quite solid. The LCD screen is small but readable. The most difficult step for some users will be finding the SSID password for your router. I haven't printed anything more than the test page, but that page looks terrific. Being wireless it's nice to have one less cable dangling behind my desk. It also allows me to print from any other wireless device without having to download images to my computer. The printer does make a bit of noise, but what printer doesn't. The initial setup was particularly noisy as it was aligning the print head. The motor that drives the print head makes a nice zipping sound and the print head clunks at the end of its travel. These are familiar sounds and nothing unusual. It is a bit faster in all respects than the HP printer that it replaced. I will be interested to see how thirsty it is for ink. I did a bit of research before buying and learned that it has a replaceable maintenance well that holds the ink that is ejected from the print head to clear it. This is part of the razor and blade economics common to all printers. Since I don't do much printing it won't break the budget. But for high volume printing it is something to consider.Update #1: The setup I described above did not include Epson Connect, which is how you can get the printer to print from any device with WiFi or internet capability. It took me a couple of hours to figure out how to make that happen. But eventually it did, and I managed to print a color photo from my Samsung Galaxy III phone. It worked as advertized.Several reviews complained about the cartridges that come with the printer. While I haven't printed enough to get a true assessment of how much ink they contain, the printer status shows all four cartridges as being full and being the XL size. As for replacement cartridges, I found a source, inkproducts.com, that offers third party replacements that can be refilled. If these work, the cost is way less than buying new cartridges every time. As I mentioned in my original review, the cartridges can be replaced individually, and you can buy the four different colors individually and replace only what is consumed. The website and youtube have very good videos that show you how to refill the cartridges. The website also sells a maintenance unit that can be reused over and over. It has a small cup that receives the ejected ink that you can just dump out. It has a device for resetting the chip so the printer thinks it's a new unit. Their ink cartridges don't even require resetting, although the printer will recognize them as not being Epson cartridges. It doesn't seem to mind.After I got my printer set up I ran their software updater. It allowed me to download the latest firmware for the printer. I suspect that with the right firmware the printer could be made to continue printing in black without having to have all the color cartridges full. It would probably take a lot of continued complaints about this to Epson to change this, but I just bet it could be done. So let Epson know this is something you want. If you are silent then you can't expect a change.
