HOT DAMN! Finally, ink that lasts. 4640 vs 4630,
My biggest beef with most printers is having to buy ink every other day. If a printer is perfect in every other way, but I find myself constantly shopping for ink, I will hate it. Not a problem w/ the 4630. The cartridges are large and ink management is optimal.
Printing from a mobile device is easy to set up either via local WiFi, or sending a file from your mobile (anywhere in the world) to your printer’s email address. It works for Android, Apple and more. Works much better than Canon’s system.
Epson also offers a 4640 model for an additional $100. For that extra cost, you get a larger touch screen & a printer that holds 580 sheets of paper instead of the 4630’s 330 sheets. I’m not sure those features warrant spending an additional $100.
This is the first time I’ve been completely satisfied with how long ink lasts, quality or print & printer, speed & ease of use on one printer. If any issues arise, I’ll edit this review. ‘Til then, when you factor in the long list of features with my review, you’ll understand why I say Epson hit the ball out of the park.

|Just as fast color and b&w, reasonably priced!,
I’m a computer tech and install a lot of printers. So I was excited that Amazon let me try the Workforce WF-3640, WF-7610, WF-4640, and WF-4630. I wanted to compare and find differences–but to be honest the all printed about the same. The biggest difference is that the 4640 and 4630 are about twice as fast at color printing/copying than the the 3640 and 7610. They’re all inkjet and great for the low volume home / home office. (If you have volume or need speed, go for a laser).
These printers do a lot and they do everything ok. I don’t know of anything better in this price range that does everything better. But there are devices that do one thing better. If you need everything and want it to work pretty well, these Epson Workforce printers are a good deal.
The 4630:
The 4640 hold double the paper so that’s really tempting to me over this. But this 4640 is also 50% more. If a 250 sheet paper tray is enough for you, this is a great value. And the color copying/printing is a lot faster than the 3640/3620.
The rest of this review compares all 4 printers.
PRINT QUALITY:
These are perfectly good inkjet printers. They’re not as sharp as laser for black text, and they definitely are not photo printers. You can print photos, but the quality isn’t as good as an inkjet focused on printing pictures. But for all around printing with some color printing, these are great!
SPEED:
All four of these printers are around 20 pages per minute or just a bit slower for black and white. The 4640 and 4630 are a tiny bit faster for B&W, but if I wasn’t comparing them side by side I wouldn’t notice. Color is a different story since the 4640 and 4630 are almost twice as fast (for color)! If you have any kind of volume for color printing, you definitely want the 4640 or 4630!
INK CARTRIDGES:
The 3640 and 7640 both use the 252 cartridges–printers are a little cheaper but the cartridges hold a little less ink. The 4630 and 4640 both use 786 cartridges which hold a little more ink–printers are little more, but you’ll get better value if you print more. I would love to compare the ink costs, but Amazon doesn’t carry any of the 786 cartridges yet. Amazon carries the standard 252 cartridges, but the 252XL have 3 times the prints for twice the cost–252 standard aren’t worth it! I can get the cartridges direct from Epson, but I’m waiting to see how much of a discount I can get from Amazon. If you’re like me and your whole life arrives in smile boxes, wait to buy these printers till Amazon carries the cartridges!
MENUS AND BUTTONS:
So the menus and buttons are fine. I like that with the touchscreen that you don’t have to see a lot of the copy buttons when you’re scanning and so forth. It makes it less confusing. While the touchscreen works fine, I appreciate the physical number buttons. Many of the HP printers dropped the buttons completely and I press numbers much faster with the physical buttons. If you happen to type a lot of fax numbers you’ll really appreciate it.
NETWORK CONNECTIONS:
Wireless seems to work well. I tend to connect printers network wired just because I feel the connection is faster and more stable. You can use a USB cord too, but then you lose airprint.
PAPER HANDLING:
Wide format:
Only the 7610 handles paper larger than legal–up to 13×19.
Letter:
All 4 of these printers handle letter paper well. The 4640 and the 3640 have 2 paper trays which will hold up to 500 total pages! The 4630 and 7610 have a 250 page paper tray. I’ve had no issues with any of the printers feeding regular letter paper. But I’ve found it rare to have feed issues in printers less than 2 months old. So I’ll be sure to update if I have issues!
Thick Paper:
The 7610 doesn’t seem to support thick paper according the the manual? The 3640 only takes one piece of up to 68lb card stock at a time–so it’s pretty worthless for thick papper too. The 4640 and the 4630 have a rear tray and can handle ten sheets at a time of up to 68lb cardstock. I would call that “cover” and not “card” and ten pages aren’t much. But for the once in a long while I need something thicker–at least the 4640 and 4630 can do it.
Glossy:
All 4 printers are rated for 20 glossy sheets at a time. So you can print a picture here and there, but it would be a pain to print your Christmas picture postcards… They will all do borderless so that’s a plus. The 7610 will do 8×10 photos! The results are pretty good, but I get better from a six color inkjet.
Envelopes:
All 4 printers will do 10 envelopes at a time. That doesn’t sound like much, but even many $1000 printers will only handle 10 envelopes at a time these days.
COPYING:
The copying is almost the same on all of these (but again the 4630 and 4640 are twice as fast at color). You can use the feeder or glass on all of these…

|if you have a Panasonic cordless phone, you NEED this!,
If you own a Panasonic cordless phone, this headset works best with these phones. I own many Plantronics-brand headsets, which are excellent on my cell phone, but horrible on my Panasonic cordless phone. Callers constantly complain that I sound very far away. But then I bought this Panasonic-brand headset and callers hear me very clearly. Ordinarily, I’d be annoyed at having had to buy an additional headset for my Panasonic phone, but it was so cheap that I really don’t mind. Now I’ve got an extra headset that I can use in my car! An added bonus is that this Panasonic also works really well with my cell phone, so if I had to choose one, I’d ditch my more more expensive Plantronics headset since that only works well on the cell. But, it’s important to note that the Panasonic headset is not that portable so I’m not throwing away anything just yet.

|Best monaural headset you can get–but not very durable,
The leatherette earpad is comfortable, and will not wear out & need to be replaced like foam covers will. This one has a good-length boom and mic gain. People don’t say, “What? Talk louder.” with this headset, and they like the way my voice sounds; in fact, I believe it is the same mic element in my older high-end (nice-sounding) KX-TC series Panasonic phone, because people can’t tell a difference when I switch over. Receiving sound is also very good; not too weak or too strong, but if I had to choose, a little on the stronger/efficient side, which most people prefer.
The headset doesn’t feel delicate, but I guess it is, or at least some internal wiring is, as poor durability is reported. It’s not an excuse, but you ~could~ buy 2 or 3 of these for the same price as more expensive models (even Panasonic) and still not get a headset as good-sounding or as comfortable.
I have ruined headsets by rotating the mic to get it pointed more towards my mouth (I don’t mean bending the boom). Don’t do that. If you pull off the foam windscreen, you will notice that the mic is at a 45 deg angle when it is facing your mouth. This is actually proper from a sound engineering aspect.
Everything which makes this headset larger, ‘clunkier’, ‘mid school’, ‘unattractive’, or ‘uncool’, or its lack of collapsibility serves to your advantage for good sound and comfort. Due to its size, it’s not ideal to bring along for cellphone use, but if you do, while you have it on, you will be well-served.
Like the previous reviewer, I have used/owned Plantronics (not Panasonic) headsets and they do not work well in my Panasonic and other home phones. The (Plantronics–I’ve used 3) mics simply do not produce enough gain, and the booms do not come out far enough to the mouth. So I use them as backups. Plantronics used to be the expensive quality leader, but their quality seems to have suffered in recent years, and prices remain high. Panasonic has been the only brand to consistently do right by me on many products.
Amzn price on this item fluctuates. Anything in the low tens is a great price online, anything in the mid tens is the best price you’ll see in a store, and the high tens is typical store price.
This has a 2.5mm mini-plug for use in cell and home phones, not computer sound cards. Headsets are made in China, like everything else we depend on.

|A good basic headset,
Update May 2009:
After many years I’m still using these. A couple have broken on me with no easy way to fix them, but they are cheap enough to be considered a disposable product. These days I have a second pair on standby because I’m pretty sure I’ll snap the headband on my current pair eventually.
