Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4023

If you think of the WP-4023 as a beefed up version of the Epson WP-4020, you won't be far off. For paper handling, for example, both include a duplexer (for printing on both sides of the page), a 250-sheet tray, and an 80-sheet tray, for a total 330-sheet input capacity. However, only the WP-4023 lets you add an optional 250 sheet tray for a total of 830 sheets.

Similarly, both can use the same ink cartridges. But only the WP-4023 can also use higher capacity cartridges, with a higher yield per cartridge—at 3,400 pages each, rather than 2,400 for black and 1200 for each color—and a slightly lower cost per page.


The potential savings per page isn't much. The difference is for color pages only, and it's just 0.4 cents per page, so you'd have to print 37,500 color pages to make up the difference in initial cost between the two printers. The real advantage of the higher capacity cartridges in this case is the convenience of not having to change cartridges as often. However, that convenience, along with the potentially higher input capacity, makes the WP-4023 a better choice for heavier duty printing.
