Pros: This epson Printer is a very easy to use machine. I bought it to replace an old HP Laserjet at home. Also a bit of advise for when you buy Ink cartridges for the WP-4590 make sure to get another "Mainetance Box" to have on hand. This part stores waste ink and the Printer will not function if it gets full. So overall I would highly recommend this product.
Cons: The only downside to this Model is when you first install your Ink Cartridges or replace one you have to wait for 12 to 15 minutes for the machine to prime them.

I purchased this model because I was so favorably impressed by my Epson WorkForce Pro 4540 model that when I needed a printer for another location I thought I would spend a little more and get a still better one from the same series.Frankly, I wish I had stayed with the 4540.
Unfortunately, neither the Epson website nor Amazon's offered the ability to do a convenient side-by-side comparison of features, so after scanning through the 3 or 4 pages of specifications for each printer, I ordered the 4590 since it was the top of this line and I expected it to be at least the same and in some ways better than the 4540. I was wrong!
A major feature I like about my 4540 is the wireless capability. I can print from my iPad or any of my laptops or tablets as long as they are connected (wired or wireless) to the same network as the printer. I was very disappointed to discover that the 4590 lacks wireless capability. It also came with a smaller paper capacity. Once I did a much more careful check of the specifications for the two, I discovered that there is no difference in print quality, speed, or in rated copies per month. The ONLY feature at all of interest was that it can hold larger ink cartridges; but the 4540 offers decent sized cartridges and the replacement process is trivial. It takes about 5 seconds to pop out the used one and pop in the new one (with no mess!).
If you never wish to print while wireless (or you are willing to dedicate a computer to be constantly on and connected to this printer) then this might be viable; but even then there are several more cost effective alternatives. I bought my 4540 at a big box store when it was on sale and it was about half the price of this Amazon purchase.
caveat emptor!
