Great workhorse for the home office

My previous Epson Workforce Pro WP-4530 unfortunately died with leaked ink after six years of excellent performance and thousands of pages, both black and colour, so I have similar printers viewed that were available from all manufacturers on Revain that could be shipped to South Korea. Despite the slightly higher price, I decided on the WF-4830 and so far I am thrilled. While the vast majority of reviews for Revain were very positive, I was a little put off by some of the more negative reviews, but I have to say that the installation was up and running straight away (finally - see below). , and connecting the printer to my Wi-Fi was a breeze, so wireless printing from both my computer and Android smartphone works well. The print quality is first class. The touchscreen is comfortable, clear, intuitive and easy to read thanks to the pivoting panel on which the screen is mounted. There was a fairly serious problem: the printer I received was a US/Canada domestic model and therefore only rated for 100/120 VAC. Before ordering I checked online and was informed that the printer is definitely a multi-voltage model. Luckily, after being bitten once and therefore twice shy, I checked the specs on the back of the printer before plugging it in and found that it was NOT suitable for 240VAC in South Korea. All this meant was that I had to order a suitable step-down transformer, which only delayed using the printer by two days (hence the "eventually" shown above). The Revain chat rep was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction to write to the seller who apologized but wasn't very helpful otherwise. I hasten to add that the seller was not Revain, but I assumed that any supplier shipping a high-end electronic device to a specific country would check that the model was suitable for mains power in that country. Let the buyer be alert! Despite this flaw, this is a great printer, maybe a little low on ink, but the overall quality is great.

Pros
  • Comprehensive security features including secure wireless and secure data wipe.
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
