![]() ![]() Many printers and MFPs offer regular and high capacity ink cartridges, and the WF-3640 is no exception. The newly developed PrecisionCore printhead provides a larger color gamut and faster speeds. Unlike some of the other Epson printers and MFPs we’ve reviewed, the WF-3640 cannot print on CD/DVDs, but there is automatic duplexing on both the printer and the 35-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF). If you can do without the extra paper tray, Epson has a sibling model, the WF-3620, that’s essentially the same machine but costs $170. ![]() The extra tray does make the unit a bit larger that a standard home MFP, measuring 17.7 x 16.8 x 12.1 inches and weighing 25.4 pounds. For the extra money, you get three paper inputs: two paper drawers (each with a 250-sheet capacity, letter or legal size), and a rear paper slot for specialty media, card stock, or envelopes. ![]() But that depends on your perception of value. However, there are times when faxing may be required, so having that option available could come in handy.Īs mentioned, the WF-3640 does cost more if you simply compare it to a basic consumer model – anywhere from $50-$100 more. The WF-3640 is a four-function machine, but most home users won’t need the fax function, as you can scan and email directly from the machine – a more attractive consumer feature. (You can click here to read more about the technology.) This, in turn, translates into a larger color gamut (the number of colors the printer can reproduce), faster ink drying times, and faster print speeds. Using MEMs fabrication, or microelectromechanical systems, the printhead contains a considerable higher number of nozzles than previous head designs, which produces a greater print density by using smaller ink droplets. On the outside, the WF-3640 resembles most other Epson MFPs, but the most notable feature is one that’s unnoticeable: the newly developed PrecisionCore printhead technology. But with the new PrecisionCore system, wireless connectivity (plus compatibility with smart devices), and useful features, we think the WF-3640 could be well suited for the home – if you don’t mind giving up some space. Compared to MFPs designed for the home, there’s a price premium. Designed for an office environment, the multifunction unit offers print, copy, scan, and fax capabilities. Buy it now from:Īlthough unveiled last year in some of its industrial printing equipment, Epson is now putting the technology in a new lineup of WorkForce office printers, like the WorkForce WF-3640 All-in-One printer ($200). Now, it’s Epson’s turn, with the new PrecisionCore printhead inkjet tech that allows for fast print speeds and better color quality – even better than a color laser model. Hewlett-Packard, for example, last year introduced its Officejet Pro X, a desktop printer series that uses an inkjet technology called PageWide, to deliver the world’s fastest print speeds. The printer industry is a fairly predictable one, but once in a while we’re treated to interesting technology. ![]()
