It continued to perform perfectly, then on Sept 2 the black quit printing, performing as though the cartridge was empty although the monitor showed 80% of the ink remained. I followed Epson's recommendations to clean the print head, to no avail. Epson offered to replace it under the warranty, but wanted me to pay for returning the failed unit. Instead, I returned it to the office supply store where I bought it and they replaced it with the same model on the spot for free, no questions asked.

About 20 yrs ago, I was trying out some other brands, but I was never satisfied. Finally, when my son recommended Epson to me, I knew it would be a good one, because when he suggests something to me about computers, he is always right. He know more than I'll ever learn about computers. So, when I got my first one, I was really happy with it . . . not only did it print on regular 8-1/2 x ll size papers, but also, up to 15\" long. Since then I have been able to get just regular size machines. Ever since then, I have used only Epson printers. They last for many years before I have to replace them, they practically repair themselves. Improvements have been made on almost every model since then. Usually, I get the color stylus models and they cover every need I have in a printer, all the way down to Time Cards size and even smaller. I even print our deposit slips (bank size). This time, I decided to buy the Workforce model, but I hated to have to switch printers because I was having such good luck with it until it quit on me, so I decided to give it one more try after I received the Workforce model, (4/8/2010). Would you believe that after I re-installed the C-120 Color Stylus printer, it went back to working just fine and I used it until it would not take another re-installation today (6/18/2011).","name":"My son recommended the Epson to me . . ."},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Inkjet/Epson-WorkForce-40-Inkjet-Printer/p/C11CA27201#review-19828589","datePublished":"2011-09-04","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"The print output is very good.

The paper tends to feed at an angle and print jobs are rarely square to the page. Epson really needs to redesign the back rest that supports the paper in the feed. It needs some sort of side bars to keep the paper feeding in straight. Beyond that, it's been a great printer. It's a bit noisy but I can live with that. It sucks up ink too. Particularly the cyan when printing just black. So I finally figured out that if you go to the Printer and Faxes control in the computer (using Windows) and right click on the printer to bring up the menu. From there click on 'Printing Preferences...) then click the selection 'Black/Grayscale' under 'Print Options'. That cut back greatly on the colored ink consumption. Would I buy another one? Yeah, but I'd be happier if they fixed the paper feed.

Because there are no internal coverings or sound insulation, it is relatively noisy.

Epson printers have always served me best in this area. And the workforce 40 is no exception. It has a very nice sleek design in mostly black with silver highlight at the handles positions. Unpacking, set-up, and installing software was a snap; of which just took minutes. The instruction manual is smartly written to maintain simplicity, preciseness, and thorough comprehension. This machine kicks out printed text at a fast and furious pace, but was fairly noisy in doing so. I guess any thing that fast is bound to have some noise. After awhile though, I soon got used to the noise...and even began to appreciate it as part of its workhorse persona. Lastly, the WiFi is a nice bonus. But for me and for now I am using a wired connection. Good sales can be found on the workforce 40. And if you are looking for a solid nice looking performer that does not cost a lot...then this is it.","name":"Epson workforce 40 works for me."},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Inkjet/Epson-WorkForce-40-Inkjet-Printer/p/C11CA27201#review-16010175","datePublished":"2010-11-01","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"This was virtually pain-free!
