Epson Workforce Pro WP-4020 Driver for Windows, Mac, and Setup Guide

Epson Workforce Pro WP-4020 belongs to a small but growing inkjet laser printer that offers good speed & running costs. It also comes with features like wired & Wi-Fi network support, built-in duplexer, etc., making it a better option for micro or small offices.

Setup & Speed

Setting it up is standard fare. However, WP-4020 is big for an inkjet printer. It measures 11.2 inches x 18.1 inches x 16.5 inches. With a wired network, the speed is very impressive. On business applications suite, it comes in at effectively 5.6 ppm.

This printer is faster compared to some color laser-class printers like Dell 1250c Color LED Printer. Photo speed is acceptably fast, too. For a 4×6 photo, the average speed is about 1 minute 12 seconds.

Output Quality

Its output quality is not too impressive. However, the text & graphics are nice for most business uses. Besides that, photos also have higher quality compared to business needs.

Not only high quality, but text on plain paper is also far more water-resistant than you would expect for an inkjet printer output. Graphics output has a touch lower quality compared to most inkjets, mainly because of some banding in the default mode.

Anyway, it is still fine for internal business need. In addition, text & graphics produced by Epson Workforce Pro WP-4020 on plain paper is as water-resistant as laser printer output.

Photo output qualifies as true photo quality. It is much better compared to most business needs. If your print need at a home office is heavy duty to justify getting this printer, the photo quality lets you use it in the dual role of home office and home printer.

The lower cost per page is another important feature. The manufacturer doesn’t make any claims for cost per page. However, if you consider the prices for the cartridges & the claimed yields, it can be concluded that the running cost is about 1.6 cents for a mono page & 7.7 cents for a color page.

We know that that is not only lower than most inkjet printers, but it is also lower than most low-cost laser printers. In short, WP-4020 cannot only save money on the initial price with purchasing a comparable laser printer, but it also costs less to run.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a laser printer with good output quality, low running cost, low initial cost, good paper handling, and fast speed, Epson Workforce Pro WP-4020 will be ideal for your business needs.
