Our Verdict
HP DeskJet 3755/3772
Epson EcoTank ET-3850
The Epson EcoTank ET-3850 and HP DeskJet 3755/3772 are two different classes of printers. The Epson is an all-in-one supertank inkjet printer for home or small offices. It offers exceptionally high page yield, even compared to other supertank printers, making it ideal for offices with a high print load. The HP printer's major selling points are its low start-up costs and compact design. Its cost-per-print and recurring costs are high due to its very low page yield, and it prints much slower than most printers, even other cheap or budget options.
