Most home users need an inkjet printer that does nothing more but printing. For those who want such a printer, among so many printers it has produced, Epson made Epson T40W, a single function 4-color inkjet printer with a print speed that is a bit above average.

Epson T40W cannot copy, scan, or fax, but it prints well. The inkjet printer is bundled with Epson software to facilitate the printing for the best results. Better yet, its wireless functionality lets you print without having to rely on the connected PC all the time.

Features and Highlights

Some users consider print speed to be more important than print quality. They usually need printers just for internal use, so quality is not a big concern. Even so, having a reasonably priced inkjet printer that can offer both good speed and quality is nice, and this is something that Epson T40W is capable of.

Aside from the printing and consumables technology, print speed varies depending on how complex the content of a document is. For example, one that contains blocks of text and graphics usually takes longer than one that only contains text. According to the specs information provided on its official page, Epson T40W can print black and white documents at approximately 38 pages per minute and 4 x 6 inches photos at approximately 1 photo per 20 seconds.

The quoted print speed of Epson T40W looks good. However, if you want to get into more details about the actual print speed, you should find out the type of documents and photos that are used for the tests to be able to obtain those print speed statistics.

The volume of a single ink droplet that a printer can produce is not the only thing that can affect the quality of a print. Those who also need to print photos should pay more attention to the printer’s capability in ejecting ink droplets. In this case, the smallest ink droplet that Epson T40W can eject is 2 pl. As you may know already, smaller ink droplets result in smaller dots. A printer which produces smaller ink droplets usually can print photos at higher quality than one which produces larger ink droplets.
