Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720 Review
The wireless Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720 offers high-quality text, colorful photos, and crisp graphics. Ideal for the home office and small business environments, this printer is equipped with a 2.7″ touch screen display and sleek design that’s easy to use. Featuring up to 20ppm print speeds, 4800 x 2400 dpi resolution, and a 250-sheet paper tray, it allows you to print from most mobile devices via Google Cloud Print or Wi-Fi Direct technology and its USB connectivity. The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720 will easily fit into your home or small business environment with a front access USB port, its paper trays supporting various paper sizes, and a 35 sheet automatic document feeder for copying or scanning multiple documents at once.
All in One Performance
The Epson WF3720 Workforce Wireless Printer is extremely fast, just as it is with almost every color inkjet printer. This is even faster than some older, higher-end color laser printers. Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720 prints 19.2 A4 pages per minute on plain paper and even more impressively, 5.6 pages per minute on our color graphics test. The speed of the duplex printer at three sides per minute was competitive. However, the pace of the photo printer was slower – it took around 3 minutes for each 6×4 print.
It was also expected that the scanner would be faster. Viewing previews and scanning at low resolution looked fine. Although it scanned a photograph at 600dpi in 28 seconds, and 1,200dpi in two and a half minutes – about five times faster than the WF-3620DWF.
It’s nice to see no quality drop. Although Epson scans aren’t the sharpest, they show their usual excellent color accuracy and dynamic range. As a whole, print quality has gradually improved as well: the text is lighter, but it’s also crisper and more precise. Moreover, there are few complaints here: graphics are high quality, photocopies are excellent, and pictures aren’t as bad as one would expect from an office machine.
Print Quality
Epson color printers are known for producing high-quality printing. You can print at a maximum resolution of about 4800 x 2400 DPI. Therefore, you can produce prints that are crystal clear and detailed. Additionally, you will get an optical scanner with 1000 DPI.
Display
Having a high-quality display is a strong point of this Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3720. Thanks to its 2.7-inch touchscreen, you can navigate the touchscreen with ease. The display panel can be tilted to improve seated or standing visibility, and the background display is crisp. Access to the home menu suffers from lag, but it’s not that frustrating overall.
Improved Efficiency
Color inkjet printers are always better than color laser printers when it comes to power efficiency. Because of the low power consumption of the Epson Workforce Pro WF 3720 Wireless Printer, it shouldn’t be surprising to see that it consumes less power. It is also very efficient when it comes to ink cartridge usage. As long as you use your ink cartridges normally, it may be three months before you need to replace them. Ink cartridges for this printer cost more than half of the price of the printer, so you better not replace them every month.
Added Features
This printer contains all the features you could possibly need. With Epson’s “WiFi Direct,” they market their wireless network connectivity through WiFi and other wireless methods. An Epson Connect account is required for remote printing, however. This printer is also capable of duplex printing. This printer works with pretty much any operating system, including Windows XP and macOS 10.14. However, it does not support Apple AirPrint.
Connectivity
Connectivity options on the Epson WF-3720 are excellent. Alternatively, you can connect this printer to your home’s Wi-Fi network using an Ethernet cable. It is also possible to connect directly to the printer using Wi-Fi Direct if you are not within range of a router. AirPrint and Mopria Print are the only mobile printing options since it doesn’t support Bluetooth. Using NFC, you can print on the go on compatible devices. If you have a USB flash drive, you can print from that as well.
