The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730 is a very good printer for home and student use thanks to its quality build, two input trays that are both expandable to hold legal-size paper, impressive scanning features, and connectivity options. The display screen is not only crisp and viewable from most angles, but you can also view instructional videos regarding the upkeep of your printer directly on the screen. Unfortunately, the black page yield is bad and doesn't include duplex scanning.
