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.

Student 

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730 is a very good printer for students. It has a good cost-per-print for black-only documents and impressive printing speed. You should have no problem at all printing long essays or big bodies of work. Unfortunately, the scanner can't be extended very high for scanning large textbooks or papers.

Pros
  • Impressive scanner with ADF.
  • Good cost-per-print.
  • Fast printing speed.
  • Excellent build.
Cons
  • Poor black page yield.

Black & White 

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730 is good for black and white printing. Even though the black cartridge doesn't yield many pages and needs to be replaced often, the relatively low cost of the black ink cartridge makes it cost-effective in the long run. With two input trays, you can complete large print jobs without any issues. It does, however, have a poor black page yield.

Pros
  • Impressive scanner with ADF.
  • Fast printing speed.
  • Excellent build.
Cons
  • Poor black page yield.

Casual Photo 

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730 is a good printer for casual photos. Both the printing quality and color accuracy are acceptable, and it accepts both glossy and photo size 4" x 6" paper. However, it doesn't support 2" x 3" photo paper.

Pros
  • Fast printing speed.
  • Excellent build.
Cons
  • Some color present in the gray scale.
  • Doesn't support 2" x 3" photo paper.

    Track

    The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is a better printer than the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730. Although both printers have excellent build and design qualities, the HP has a lower cost-per-print thanks to its higher page yield. The HP also has a better scanner thanks mainly to it allowing duplex scanning. However, the Epson does include a better mobile app that supports webpages and Microsoft Office files, unlike the HP.
