Our Verdict

HP DeskJet 3755/3772

Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803

The Epson EcoTank ET-2800/2803 is a significantly better printer than the HP DeskJet 3755/3772, but they're very different models. The HP is a basic compact printer that yields an extremely low number of black and color pages, has a high cost-per-print, and prints much slower than the Epson. By contrast, the Epson is an all-in-one supertank printer; thanks to its reservoir, it yields a high number of pages and has a low cost per print. Print quality is also great, as black and color documents look good, and scans are also excellent.
