Epson's latest all-in-one outdistances the competition

Looking for lightning-fast speed and high-quality prints for not much money? Look no further.

An external USB port on the ; gives standalone copying and scanning functionality on top of standard printing duties, and Epson's cloud printing suite adds remote printing capability.

The printer ships with small capacity "starter" ink cartridges, and the flimsy plastic hinge on the scanner doesn't inspire confidence in its long-term durability.

Cloud access, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an external USB port in addition to the company's mobile printing app make the Epson WorkForce WF-2540 a good fit for smaller work-groups and start-ups with moderate printing needs.

Review: Epson WorkForce WF-2540 All-in-One Printer

The WorkForce WF-2540 color inkjet multifunction has some nice features and good output quality, but ink costs are high, and it slows considerably when scanning, or when printing at higher-quality settings.

Very good output quality ; Full connectivity (USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet)

Ink is expensive ; Slow scan speeds and higher-quality print speeds

Epson WorkForce WF-2540 review

Epson WorkForce WF-2540 All-in-One Printer Review

With its document feeder, dedicated fax buttons and Ethernet port, the Epson WF-2540 has a number of important capabilities that small and home office users will appreciate. Unfortunately, slow performance and mediocre photo prints hold it back. For...

Dedicated faxing functions ; Document feeder ; Ethernet connectivity ; Affordable price

Very slow prints, scans and copies ; Mediocre photo quality ; No touch-screen LCD ; High ink cost

The Epson WorkForce WF-2540 offers a bevy of business-friendly features, but slow print and scan speeds hold it back.

Epson WorkForce WF-2540 review

Setting up the Epson WorkForce WF-2540 inkjet printer is a breeze. With USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi all on board, you're free to attach it to a PC or network in any location you wish. The WF-2540's smallish non-operational footprint: 392x377x221mm also...

The Epson WorkForce WF-2540 All-in-One Printer is attractively priced, and the triple USB/Ethernet/Wi-Fi connectivity is appealing, but taken as a whole - Epson missed the mark with this one. Ink costs are high, and photo output is slothful and then...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Absolute Junk

Horrible print quality. Heads need to be cleaned once a day. Drinks ink like there is no tomorrow. Lastly the absolute scam ---->Will not print black only if color cartridges are out.

The only positive think is knowing I will never support Epson again.

WAY too to list.
