Many Positive Press Reviews WF Pro Gere/Hanks coverage per country is Highly Favourable
Many Positive Press Reviews WF Pro • PCPRO. co. uk, UK "The best of both worlds: laser speeds and inkjet image quality, with plenty of features and stunningly low running costs" • CNET Reviews, UK : "Epson may have made bold claims about this printer's speed and it largely lives up to them. <…>It's hugely speedy when dealing with colour graphics as well. <…>These speeds are nearly twice as fast as the majority of the competition. " • Expert Reviews, UK : "With ultra-low print costs, brilliant print quality and excellent speeds, the WP-4535 DWF is a superb business MFP". • ZDNet. fr, France : "Epson's Work. Force Pro : Inkjet under the skin of laser" • Italy: "On the first impression the product delivers, it seems like a laser MFP printer, due to its robustness and reliability <…> After the tests, Epson WF Pro outclassed other inkjet competitors and proved to be a unique inkjet product capable of competing with a laser printer" • Mac. World. es, Spain: "The WP-4535 competes equally with the majority of personal, small and medium-size business laser printers in speed and cost per page. " • PCWelt. de, Germany : "Epson Work. Force Pro: a multifunction device that meets the demands of office life" • PCMag. com, USA : "If you're looking for an inkjet multi-function printer (MFP), it's probably more printer than you had in mind. If you thought you wanted a color laser MFP, however, it may change your mind about which technology you want. In fact, it beats similarly priced color lasers at what lasers are supposed to do best, with faster speed and a lower running cost. That can easily be enough to make it a better choice than a laser for your micro and small office.
