Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820 is a decent printer for a home or small office. It has an efficient design that makes accessing paper jams and ink cartridges easy. It produces sharp documents and prints fairly quickly overall. As for its page yield, its black ink cartridge runs out quickly, but the color cartridges last a while. The cartridges are cheap, though, so the printer won't cost too much to maintain over time. Unfortunately, although the scanner is equipped with an automatic feeder, it doesn't support duplex scanning, so you'll have to flip the pages manually when scanning double-sided sheets.
