Our Verdict
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is a great family printer. It's well-designed and doesn't cost too much to print with. If you have kids, you can even scan their artwork, or print coloring pages for them, up to 11" x 17". There's also a duplex automatic document feeder (ADF) built into its scanner, which makes scanning a pile of double-sided tax forms a breeze. The printing color accuracy on documents isn't the best, but the photo printing quality is still good.
- Easy-to-use, efficient design.
- Automatic duplex scanning and printing up to 11"x 17".
- Low cost-per-page.
- Disappointing black page yield.
- Poor color accuracy.
- Slow printing speed.
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is decent for home and small office use. While it has all the features a small business owner may be looking for, like fax, duplex scanning, and even the capacity to print and scan up to 11" x 17", it struggles with the basics - black cartridge doesn't yield very many copies, and it's also quite slow to print. That said, there are high-capacity cartridges that can help with the print yield, so you don't have to change them as often.

The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is a great student printer. It's not too expensive to use, even if you print a fair bit. It also prints up to 11" x 17", which is useful if you have large diagrams or charts to study. Unfortunately, it doesn't print very quickly, but it has lots of scanning features and connectivity options. It's also quite large, so it may not fit in a small dorm room.

The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is okay for black and white printing. Unfortunately, the standard black cartridges don't have a very high print yield. If you print a lot, you'll need to change it quite often. Thankfully, there are two high-capacity versions of the black cartridge that should last much longer.

The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is decent for printing casual photos. Even though it has disappointing color accuracy, the photo printing quality is still good. The color page yield is good, so the cost-per-print for photos is low. It prints 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" photos, but it can't print on 2" x 3" paper.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is a great printer for home use. It's also a better choice for small offices than the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3730 since it supports duplex scanning, allowing you to scan two-sided documents. Also see our recommendations for the best home printers, the best office printers, and the best printers for small businesses.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is a better printer than the Epson WorkForce WF-7720. The HP can yield more pages from its black and color cartridges, it has a quicker print speed, and its cost-per-print is more affordable overall. However, the Epson feels better built, it has a better display screen, and its companion app can print off more kinds of files.
The Epson EcoTank ET-4700 is a better printer than the Epson WorkForce WF-7720. Like most supertank printers, the cost-per-print on the ET-4700 is much better than the WF-7720. It has an incredibly high black and color page yield, so the ink won't need to be refilled as often as a cartridge. The ET-4700 also has a better photo printing quality and includes an Automatic Document Feeder for its scanner.
If you only need to print black and white documents and nothing else, then the HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn is a better choice than the Epson WorkForce WF-7720, as the HP prints a lot faster and it has a significantly higher black page yield. However, for everything else, the Epson is better. The Epson has a scanner, it has wider connectivity options, and it has mobile app support. Also, it can print in color and it prints good-looking photos.
