Testurteil: "5 out of 6 stars"
Test: Einzeltest: Epson Workforce Pro WP-4525 DNF
Zitat: The Workforce Pro WP-4525 DNF achieves what it sets out to do: it´s a competent MFP that, while it may not match an equivalent laser for durability, outright print speed or quality, comes acceptably close. At the same time it´s smaller, quieter, cooler and less power-hungry than a laser, making it ideal for the smaller offices and workgroups it´s aimed at. Its strongest card, however, is its running costs, which are far lower than any small workgroup laser we´ve seen.
Alongside products such as HP´s Officejet 8000 Enterprise, the WP-4525 DNF makes a compelling argument for inkjets at this end of the market, but we can´t help but wonder whether the technology is really ready for the higher-volume applications Epson apparently has in its sights. The bulk, noise and complexity of a laser is far less of an issue in large workgroup and departmental applications, where the technology´s high power use is offset by the low cost of bulk printing. It´ll take a special inkjet to compete here, but the WP-4525 DNF does suggest that Epson knows what it´s doing.
