In addition, the printer still has a USB 2.0 and Ethernet connection for those who prefer cable management.

The following are the results of the tests we conducted in various fields to find out how great this type of Epson printing machine is.

Dimensions

The Epson WF-3730 is quite high thanks to the scanner and the additional input tray. This is similar to the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025, but it is slightly lighter.

• Height: 12.8″ (32.5 cm)
• Width: 16.7″ (42.4 cm)
• Depth: 15.4″ (39.1 cm)
• Weight: 24.5 lbs (11.1 kg)

Build & Design Quality

The Epson Workforce Pro WF-3730 has a sturdy and exceptional building quality. The power cord can be removed, making it easy to replace if it is damaged. The printer includes two input trays, both of which can be expanded to accommodate legal-size paper. Both also include long and wide sliders, but only one tray supports 4″ x 6″.

Additionally, you can actually lift the output tray from the first input tray to see the inside during the printing process. This can give you a better idea of ​​how many pages are left to print or see where there might be paper jams. Unfortunately, the printer needs to be turned on so you can replace the ink.

Display Screen

Epson Pro-WF-3730 has a very good screen display. It’s easy to see whether you stand or sit thanks to its vertical tilt and sharp resolution. This menu is easy to navigate and includes three touch buttons (ink, WiFi, and sound). There are also instructional videos that play on the display screen to help give users more information about how to replace paper, ink cartridges, and perform some other tasks.

Cartridge

The Epson Workforce Pro WF-3730 has a decent four-cartridge system. They have good color page results but bad black page results. Also, when the black ink is low, the printer will ask if you want to make a black composite using other colors to finish the job.

Scanner

This Epson printer has impressive scanning features. Unfortunately, that doesn’t include the ability to do duplex scanning, and the scanning cover doesn’t go up too much to load larger items. If you need a scanner that can be adjusted for textbooks or larger documents, consider choosing the Brother HL-L2390DW.

Printing Speed

The Epson WF-3730 has impressive printing speeds. However, it is much faster when printing black-only text documents compared to color. With two input trays, it can hold a lot of paper for large printing jobs. If you need faster color printing, consider choosing OfficeJet Pro 9025.

Photo Printing Quality

Workforce Pro WF-3730 has fine photo print quality. The color is bright and there are good details. However, the photo appears on a red-ish tone, and there are several colors on a grayscale.

Color Accuracy

Pro WF-3730 has mediocre color accuracy. This should not be a problem if you just print casually, but it is not recommended for those of you who need detailed and accurate color reproduction.

Cost Per Print

The cost per print of the Epson Workforce Pro WF-3730 is very good. With high color pages, you no longer need to replace the cartridge often, but the price is expensive, so printing in color is more expensive than printing the only black in the long run.

Remember that even if you only print in black, most inkjet printers continue to use color cartridges for service tasks, so you might still need to replace them eventually.

Connectivity

The Epson Workforce Pro WF-3730 has outstanding connectivity features. You can set it up with a wireless router either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. It does not support Bluetooth printing but works with AirPrint and Mopria on your mobile device. You can also print USB keys.

This printer is also compatible with NFC, which means that when approaching an NFC-compatible mobile device to the printer, the printer will launch the Epson iPrint app if it has been installed.

Mobile Print App

The Epson iPrint App is extraordinary. You can print and scan directly from the application, perform maintenance or cleaning of the printheads, and easily check ink levels.
