As a former IT mgmt professional, I've had to evaluate all types of printers for "fit". In an office situation, printers need to fulfill their purpose without a lot of "care and feeding". The EPSON ET-3750 fits the bill for a good feature loaded printer well-suited for home-office use. With auto-document fed scanning and copying, local and remote printing, and two years of ink in the box; the latter feature the most significant, this is a printer definitely worth considering for good general output and low maintenance.
TIP: Prior to initial setup: A) For Wire-connected printing, have on hand the appropriate cable (either USB or Ethernet). B) For Wireless-connected printing, have the SSID and Password.
SETUP: At a leisurely pace, unboxing and setup for printing took about 45 minutes. This included removing all the blue tape securing the printer in transit, carefully filling all of the ink reservoirs, charging the print heads, and updating the printer firmware. Regarding filling the ink reservoirs, it's one of those "measure twice, cut once" affairs. Be very aware to place each ink in the correct well. Note for Epson design engineers: Perhaps a custom fitting for each color refill could eliminate any accidental filling into the wrong well. Past that, all other initial printer setup went reasonably well when following the instructions on the "Start Here" sheet. The fact that the printer is offered with two years of ink for about 11,200 pages or 30 ink cartridges will no doubt beat the budget for a similar class printer without the EcoTank feature.
PERFORMANCE: The ET-3750's print quality is on a par with other similar class inkjets. I printed identical images using varying printer settings and quality levels. All were more than acceptable for office quality use. Charts and graphics are presentation quality. When comparing the ET-3750 to my reference HP laser printer, the color saturation and vivid quality of the latter surpassed the former. For grayscale, the former presented nice gray levels, while the latter had steely blue tinted grays. Again, the ET-3750 performed easily on a par with other inkjet printers in its class. For photographic printing, there are other EPSON offerings, as the ET-3750 wasn't designed for that task. Print speed is good all-around and general quality printing is fast. One thing to keep in mind is the quality of the printing paper showing itself in the quality of printer output. A paper/space saving feature is the ability to print on both sides of the page automatically.
Additional notes: I really like the flexibility of being able to scan and print remotely. The ET-3750 offers software for Android, iOS, Mac OS, and Windows.
CONCLUSION: The EPSON ET-3750 is an ideal SOHO (small office/home office) printer. It meets the need without a high budget requirement and high maintenance. It avoids one of the big problems which are inkjet print cartridges running out in the middle of the job. With this printer, you can directly, visually see the ink level before you even begin a big print job. Overall performance is smooth and trouble-free. A wonderful printer that does what EPSON claims!
