The Epson Stylus CX 3700 is not too big when compared to a lot of other MFDs out there, so it won’t occupy too much of your desk space. The buttons are well laid out and pretty much self explanatory.

The printer in the CX 3700 uses separate cartridges for every color, which is a great thing, as you only have to replace the color you run out of at a time. Each color cartridge costs Rs 355 (Rs 395 for black ink), so you’re not really spending too much for your prints. Besides the printer gave us a run of 257 pages before it ran out of a single color, which is pretty good for a home printer.

  Another thing that would keep you off high-quality photo printing is the amount of time it takes. It took us close to 20 minutes to print our A4-sized photo and color tests in the highest quality. There’s also an option to print in a high-quality fast mode, which cuts the time down to less than 12 minutes, but there was a slight lack of quality. The difference however was very minor and you wouldn’t probably even notice it, unless you’re looking out for it.

The scanner on the CX 3700 does a pretty good job of scanning the details of the subject as long as it’s perfectly pressed on the scanner bed.

At a price of Rs 5,999, the Epson Stylus CX 3700 is a workhorse. As long as you’re not expecting high quality photo prints or scans, this MFD will serve you well for all practical purposes. It’s fast with documents, gives your cartridges a good run and is pretty good as a copier. In other words it’s great for SOHOs and homes looking for practical usage, but not for the budding artist/photographer.
