Build Quality

Cartridge

In terms of black page yield, the HP DeskJet printer is very poor. Its black cartridge yield is relatively low, which means you may have to replace the cartridges continually.

How it performs in case of Family/ Office/ and Student Use

Family use

The HP DeskJet 3755 All-in-One printer is an excellent choice for families. The cost-per-print is high because of the need to change cartridges frequently. The print quality is clear, legible, and free from blurring. The printer does not come with a flatbed scanner, so it cannot scan delicate documents or bulky items. Although it lacks an ADF scanner, it has excellent photo printing and good color accuracy.

Small business
