    seems to be well priced for an epson?

    Nice find, lowest I could see for this was $198.

    Btw, the Epson website looks straight out of Y2K!

  • dosada on 03/02/2015 - 16:01

    I have got the 3530 for a year now and love it, very cheap to run too.

    • spiderbite88 on 03/02/2015 - 16:06

      how much to you spend on ink cartridges?

      • dosada on 03/02/2015 - 16:06

        To be honest i never buy originals, after market ones are under $10.- shipped for a whole set (4)

        • tonyjzx on 03/02/2015 - 16:12

          hmm ebay

          how stable is the colour? like truly not smudge proof?

          i'm wanting to use it as archival prints for say accident damage work

        • dosada on 03/02/2015 - 16:14

          @tonyjzx:

          I only use it for documents, haven't printed any photos with it. Si far i have had no problem with the ink, as good as the original was IMHO.

        • tonyjzx on 03/02/2015 - 16:16

          ehh for $150 i'm sold

          i was waiting for a colour laser but this is close enough

          i still have bw lasers for normal work but for $10 carts… what can go wrong

        • spiderbite88 on 03/02/2015 - 16:21

          great was hoping that after markets would be compatible. I found 20 cartridges for $32 on ebay

        • AMLagonda on 03/02/2015 - 16:31

          found them also..

        • spiderbite88 on 03/02/2015 - 16:35

          @AMLagonda: haha I tried to but Ozbargain blocks links? just type 'epson ink 138' and sort by best match. should be the top one

        • AMLagonda on 03/02/2015 - 16:36

          @spiderbite88: cheers lol I thought that might be the case :)

    Just for reference, was cheaper here after cashback. Obviously that deal is gone, so current deal is still pretty good.

    • QuiOui on 03/02/2015 - 18:00

      Even at ~33% cheaper, it only had 12 up votes…

    • zealmax on 03/02/2015 - 20:49

      I bought one for $200.05 on ebay, and claimed $100 cash back. It is a really good machine. The prints are very sharp and very fast. Wireless printing and scanning is a breeze. Just put it anywhere with a power outlet, no printer cables required.The starter ink lasts quite a bit, I think it might be the full sized ink cartridges.

  • AMLagonda on 03/02/2015 - 16:30

    Cool didnt realize it was wireless, I hate inkjet but I really need a scanner (that works with win7-8 :/ )
    and having a wireless scanner and printer makes it a good deal and I can put it anywhere in the house.

    • tonyjzx on 03/02/2015 - 16:54

      it sounds to me like they have their inkjet problems largely licked

      • it has fax
      • duplex print and scan
      • dual tray
  • dpp04 on 03/02/2015 - 16:33

    Dammit I just dropped $180 for the WF-3620 a couple days ago! Argh…

    Although the 3620 does print faster, I could have used the 3540's dual paper trays. Oh well…

    • Roary on 03/02/2015 - 18:21

      I also only picked up a 3620 3 days ago (On Saturday)
      Though I got mine for $139 :) (after harvey norman cash back)

  • dr_ rusko on 03/02/2015 - 16:50

    finding it hard to resist….
    someone say something bad about this printer!

  • CyberMurning on 03/02/2015 - 16:52

    can someone confirm i can still print black and white if one of the colour cartridge runs out? or once one run out we need to replace all?

    or put this way:
    can i just buy black cartridge (no colours) and print b&w?

    • m2000 on 03/02/2015 - 16:55
      +2

      I don t think you can unfortunately, it will prompt you to replace the colour one first and say out of inks…
      I got another older model though.

      • CyberMurning on 03/02/2015 - 16:58

        thats what i hate about colour printers

    • CyberMurning on 03/02/2015 - 17:08

      response from epson

      Thank you for contacting Epson Support.
      For all Epson inkjet printer, if one of the ink is out or empty, the printer will not let you print and even scan or copy. The printer will go to a protective mode. Where it will be protecting the nozzle of the empty cartridge from getting clogged up. The only way for this printer to be up and running again is by replacing the empty cartridge.

  • Baa on 03/02/2015 - 16:54

    Possibly just mine but the wireless printing and scanning is honestly a pain in the ass, have to fiddle with it almost every time I want to use it.

    I posted a deal of this printer 1.5 years ago (Link), it was only $100 shipped then…
    nontheless, this printer is pretty good, wifi probably needs improvement as sometimes it needs to be restarted to get wifi working again.

    • Perumal on 03/02/2015 - 21:04

      I got it from your post and had epson cash back for $30, so got my printer for $30 :)

  • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2015 - 17:35

    It may be the cheapest price, but it is not a good deal. No, I didn't neg.

    The WF-3540 may carry an RRP of 300, but it's newer model that has a better ink efficiency is $198 at office works - WF-3640.

    WF-3540 uses 138 DuraBrite ink $25 and has a yield of 820 pages, so about 3 cents per page. 15ipm
    WF-3640 uses 254XL which is $60 and has a yield of 2200 pages, so about 2.7 cents per page. 19ipm (faster). Physical buttons for basic functions.

    • g12345567 on 03/02/2015 - 19:14

      Thought this was an old model printer as I couldn't see the WF-3540 listed in the Epson 2014 Product Range Guide only the newer WF-3640.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2015 - 21:39

        sorry, typo. I mean "the newer model" being the WF3640. I bought one for the office. We print a combination of b/w and coloureds, and so far, it is the best printer we've used. Previously we had a couple of lasers from canon and samsung, and a few other Epson ink-jets.

    I have this lemon sitting here as a scanner, word of warning do not buy a CISS from mir aus to use with it.
    Heads get blocked within a few weeks with no warranty and essentially a waste of $400.

    • woekoa on 03/02/2015 - 18:02

      I have a Rihac CISS with it. Works well!

      • pennyless on 03/02/2015 - 18:08

        Thanks for letting me know, how long has it been in use for?
        I won't go back to mir-aus. They harassed me to leave a review of their product before I even had a chance to use it, obviously wanted positive feedback before it ruined my printer.
        I bought a replacement 3520 to make use of the CISS - that got blocked within a month as well, painful experience.

        • woekoa on 03/02/2015 - 18:22

          Used for 12 months +. The printer sometimes does not recognise the yellow cartridge - not sure why.

          I leave it on standby now as I have to turn it on/off and fiddle with the yellow cartridge to reset the error code.

    • Perumal on 03/02/2015 - 21:05

      Based out of MElbourne, I have installed RIHAC CISS since day 1. Its been atleast 15 months. Just last week got refillable inks. Basically I print everything :)

  • pennyless on 03/02/2015 - 18:13

    Incidentally $180 should be the standard price for this (not $300), Epson has yearly cashbacks around this time which would bring it to $140.

  • bylife on 03/02/2015 - 18:33

    I am looking for scanner, this is interesting to me.

  • CheapCoffee on 03/02/2015 - 19:49

    Out of stock now :( I was looking to buy this specific model for last few weeks so gutted that I missed out..

    Edit: Apparently the one was looking at before was WF3640, not this one.

  • noise36 on 03/02/2015 - 20:40

    I was about to spend about $150 for ink for My HP 8500A now thinking I should just buy a new printer instead?

    Looks like the ink for this printer is cheaper but also does way less pages per cartridge.

    Tried cheap apparently compatible ebay ink but it refused to work in my printer.

  • mrtin on 03/02/2015 - 20:54

    thank you picked one up earlier today.

  • noise36 on 03/02/2015 - 22:09

    Seems the regular price is <$170 anyway http://www.shopbot.com.au/pp-epson-workforce-3540-price-4104…

  • AMLagonda on 10/02/2015 - 17:02

    Mine is here and setup, looks nice, colour photo I printed wasn't too flash but still alright.
