The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is an impressive all-in-one inkjet printer with a refillable supertank ink system. It has an exceptional print yield for both monochrome and color documents, giving it an incredibly low cost-per-print that should keep running costs down over time. Its scanning features are good, with a flatbed and automatic document feeder, though it doesn't support double-sided scanning. While it prints black-only documents at a satisfactory speed, it prints color documents and photos even more slowly. Although its color accuracy and photo printing quality aren't the best for printing professional-grade images, they're still fine for home use.
Our Verdict
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is a decent family printer. It has good scanning features, including a flatbed and automatic document feeder for processing various documents or photos. While printed photos look grainy, it should be fine for home use, but colors look noticeably different from originals. Its superb page yield for monochrome and color prints helps keep costs low.

The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is good for home offices. Its incredible page yield for black-only and color documents coupled with its relatively inexpensive ink refills should keep costs low. Although it doesn't print black-only text documents as quickly as some other office models, it's still decent. It has an automatic document feeder but doesn't have duplex scanning, so processing many double-sided documents could be a hassle. It also doesn't have faxing capabilities.
- High page yield and incredibly low cost-per-print.
- Automatic document feeder quickly processes pages.
- No duplex scanning.
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is great for students. Its very low cost-per-print and high page yield let you print off many pages of work without worrying about running out of ink.

The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is decent for casual photos. While it prints decent quality photos, there's some graininess present across the image.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 has a newer variant, the Epson EcoTank ET-4760. The two are almost identical, but the newer ET-4760 has faxing capabilities. However, in our tests, the ET-4760 has somewhat worse color accuracy and printed photo quality.
Popular Printer Comparisons
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 is an all-in-one supertank inkjet printer with a superb page yield and outstandingly affordable cost-per-print. It has a faster printing speed than most other supertanks like the Epson Expression ET-2750 or Canon PIXMA G7020, but unlike some printers from Epson's EcoTank lineup, it doesn't have an integrated fax feature.

The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5180 and the Epson EcoTank ET-3760 are both all-in-one inkjet models with a refillable ink tank. The ET-5180 is a better printer overall because it has better page yields and photo printing quality. It also has more features, like duplex scanning (manual) and fax functionality.
The Epson EcoTank ET-4760 and Epson EcoTank ET-3760 are almost identical supertank printers in terms of looks and performance. While they have extremely slight differences between them, the ET-4760 has an integrated fax feature which the ET-3760 lacks. Otherwise, both printers are well-suited for a variety of needs.
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 and the Epson EcoTank ET-2850 are very similar printers, but the ET-3760 has more features. It has an automatic document feeder, a faster printing speed, and an Ethernet port. Also, it can print more color pages. On the other hand, the ET-2850 has better photo printing quality, and it's easier to find in stock since the ET-3760 is discontinued.
The Epson EcoTank ET-3760 and the Epson EcoTank ET-15000 are very similar overall. The ET-3760 produces slightly higher-quality documents and scans, but unlike the ET-15000, it only supports paper size up to 8.5" x 11", whereas the ET-15000 is a wide format printer that can print on paper up to 13" x 19".
Test Results
The Epson ET-3760 has an okay design. Its white, plastic body feels sturdy, and the ink levels are easily visible. The front input cassette has a width slider that accommodates the most popular paper sizes, and paper jams can be easily accessed through its rear compartment. However, the automatic document feeder feels thin and flimsy, and the scanner lid can also only raise just enough to fit a thin book. If you're low on ink, the scanner's glass section needs to be lifted to reach the supertank compartment, which can be a pain.
Update 02/23/2022: The initial Width When In Use test result was wrong, so the review was updated to add in the correct measurement. Also, the In Use Picture was reshot since the initial one didn't have the input tray's cover opened.
The Epson ET-3760 has an okay display. While the display doesn't have a touch-screen interface, it has several physical buttons located on both sides of the screen. The menu is easy to navigate, but there's some lag between entering commands. There's also no numeric keypad, which can be a pain when you need to enter network passwords. Still, the display panel can tilt vertically so you have good visibility of the screen whether you're sitting or standing. However, you may have a bit more trouble seeing the screen if you're viewing it from the side.
Update 02/10/2022: The ink type was originally incorrectly listed as just dye. While the color inks are dye, the black ink is actually pigment; the review now reflects this change.
The Epson ET-3760 has a remarkable supertank ink system. Instead of using removable cartridges, it holds four high-capacity ink tanks that you refill yourself. As they're designed to hold a lot of ink, both the black and color tanks yield an extremely high number of pages before needing to be refilled. Even if you're always printing off documents, you shouldn't need to refill the tanks often.
While you can technically fill the supertanks with any third-party ink, we didn't try it and don't recommend doing so. Low-quality ink could damage the print heads, and, unlike standard inkjet printers, you can't simply remove the ink if there's a problem. Additionally, third-party supplies could void your warranty.
The Epson ET-3760 has decent scanning features. Its flatbed scanner is good for scanning fragile family polaroids, while its sheetfed scanner with an automatic document feeder processes documents quickly. Unfortunately, if you have double-sided documents, you need to scan each side manually as there's no duplex scanning. If you scan double-sided documents often, consider the Epson Expression Premium ET-7750 EcoTank which has this feature. There's also no fax, which may not be ideal for home businesses, so if you require one, check out the Epson EcoTank ET-4700.

The Epson ET-3760's cost-per-print is outstandingly low. Just like the Epson EcoTank ET-4760, the ink bottles aren't too expensive, and when combined with their high page yields, both the black and color ink become incredibly affordable for long-term use.
The Epson ET-3760 has a decent printing speed. Black-only text documents are somewhat quick to print, but it's a bit slower at handling color documents. It also takes about a minute and a half to print off 4" × 6" photos, which can be a bit of a wait.
Update 01/05/2022: We initially listed the maximum weight as 90 g/m², but this is incorrect. While it's the maximum for plain copy paper, the heaviest advertised compatible paper (Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy) weighs 297 g/m².
The Epson ET-3760's color accuracy is bad. It reproduces most colors inaccurately, especially blues and greens. If you're looking for a supertank printer and care about accurate color reproduction, consider the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850.
The Epson ET-3760 has great connectivity features. It has a variety of wired and wireless connectivity support, although its inability to print via Bluetooth or directly via USB flash drive or SD card could be inconvenient for some. However, you can still use Wi-Fi Direct to print wirelessly, and the printer supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service.
The Epson ET-3760's mobile companion app, Epson iPrint, lets you print, scan, and copy from your mobile device, as well as perform maintenance tasks like nozzle checks or firmware updates from your mobile device. It doesn't print .txt files natively, but it converts them to PDF first through Google Drive, so you can still print .txt files from the app.
