Epson WF-7720 Wide-Format Inkjet All-in-One
Wide-format 13″x19″ color inkjet all‑in‑one with PrecisionCore, duplex, 500‑sheet capacity and Wi‑Fi for small offices and creatives.
Introduction
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is a wide-format, PrecisionCore-powered inkjet all‑in‑one designed to bridge the gap between a home office and a small print shop. It tackles common office pain points—slow color output, limited paper formats, and inconsistent wireless connectivity—by delivering borderless prints up to 13″ x 19″, high-resolution output, and a full suite of scanning, copying and fax features. If your work demands occasional tabloid-size posters, marketing collateral, or high-resolution proofs without outsourcing, the WF-7720 brings that capability in-house.
Beyond size and resolution, this model focuses on productivity: a 500-sheet capacity with dual trays, automatic duplexing, a 35‑page ADF, and multi-network connectivity (Wi‑Fi, Wi‑Fi Direct, Ethernet, NFC) mean less time waiting and more time creating. For users who print graphics-heavy documents, proof prints, or high-volume office pages, the WF-7720 offers a blend of speed, color fidelity and media handling that enhances both creativity and day-to-day productivity.
Overview
Visually, the WF-7720 is a workhorse: a substantial footprint (22.3″D x 32.2″W x 13.4″H) that accommodates three trays and a rear feed for specialty stocks. It ships with DURABrite Ultra pigment inks and a 4.3″ color touchscreen for intuitive control. The PrecisionCore printhead technology is engineered for fine detail and consistent color laydown, while the printer’s 5760 x 1440 dpi maximum color resolution helps produce crisp graphics and photo‑quality prints on supported media.
Connectivity is comprehensive: alongside Ethernet and USB, the unit offers Wi‑Fi, Wi‑Fi Direct and NFC for mobile printing from tablets and smartphones. Amazon Dash Replenishment compatibility and Epson Connect apps add convenience for remote printing and supply management. Ideal users include small offices, creative freelancers, photographers producing occasional large proofs, and home offices that need wide-format capability without moving to a production laser or outsourcing.
Features
PrecisionCore High‑Resolution Print Engine: Powered by Epson’s PrecisionCore technology, the WF-7720 produces sharp text and detailed graphics at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi. PrecisionCore places micro‑dots precisely for smooth gradients and accurate color transitions—valuable for proofing, flyers, and photo projects where detail and color fidelity matter.
True Wide‑Format, Borderless Printing (Up to 13″ x 19″): This printer supports borderless output up to 13 x 19 inches, enabling poster-style prints, spreadsheets with extended charts, and large marketing collateral. The rear specialty feed accepts heavier paper and envelopes, letting you switch media types without juggling multiple devices.
High‑Capacity Paper Handling & Automatic Duplexing: A combined 500‑sheet capacity across dual trays reduces refill frequency for busy offices, and automatic two‑sided printing saves paper and produces professional-looking reports. The 125‑sheet output tray keeps large print jobs organized, while the 35‑page ADF accelerates multi-page scan and copy tasks.
Robust Connectivity & Mobile Printing: With Wi‑Fi, Wi‑Fi Direct, Ethernet, USB, NFC and comprehensive app support (Epson Connect, AirPrint-compatible workflows), the WF-7720 integrates into modern mixed-device networks. Mobile-friendly features let users print from phones and tablets without a computer, and Amazon Dash Replenishment can automate ink ordering to minimize downtime.
All‑in‑One Productivity (Scan, Copy, Fax, ADF): Beyond printing, the WF-7720 includes a flatbed scanner and sheetfed ADF for multi-page scanning and copying, plus fax functionality for offices that still rely on phone-line document transmission. The 4.3″ touchscreen simplifies settings, copy presets and direct scanning to cloud services.
Benefits
Save Time with Wide‑Format In‑House Printing
Produce 13″ x 19″ borderless prints on demand—no need to send jobs to an external print shop, cutting lead times for mockups, posters and client presentations.
Lower Operating Costs Compared to Color Lasers

Flexible Media Handling for Creative Projects
Dual trays plus rear specialty feed let you load multiple paper types simultaneously—plain paper, heavyweight stock, and photo papers—so switching jobs is quick and reduces manual feeds and errors.
Mobile and Network‑Ready for Distributed Workflows
Multiple wireless options, NFC and app integration enable seamless printing from laptops, tablets and smartphones—ideal for teams with hybrid workflows or remote contributors.
Streamlined Document Workflows
The ADF, duplex scanning and one‑touch controls simplify multi-page scans and copies, speeding up recurring admin tasks like client intake forms, contracts, or multi-page invoices.
Usages
Perfect for Home Offices and Small Businesses
High paper capacity, automatic duplexing and Ethernet/Wi‑Fi networking make the WF-7720 a solid central printer for small businesses or home offices that need reliable everyday printing and occasional wide-format capability.

Good Fit for Marketing Collateral and In‑House Signage
Create posters, signage and flyers in-house for campaigns, events, and point‑of‑sale displays, cutting costs and turnaround time when compared to outsourcing to copy shops.
Useful for Schools and Community Centers
The ability to handle larger paper sizes and a variety of media makes it useful for educational settings producing posters, project displays and multi-page administrative documents.

Recommendation
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 is recommended for small businesses, creative professionals and serious home offices that need true wide-format capability, high-resolution color output and robust paper handling in one machine. Choose this model if you value in-house production of large prints and a flexible networking feature set.
If your environment demands absolute minimal downtime and uses third-party inks, consider the WF-7720 only if you are willing to adhere to Epson’s genuine cartridge requirements and perform routine maintenance to avoid nozzle clogs. For users with extreme daily photo volumes, a dedicated production photo printer or service bureau may be a more cost-effective option.
Conclusion
The Epson WorkForce WF-7720 packs wide-format, high-resolution printing and comprehensive office functionality into a single all‑in‑one. Its PrecisionCore engine and DURABrite Ultra inks deliver crisp graphics and vibrant color for posters, proofs and client materials. Large paper capacity, automatic duplexing, and a 35‑page ADF make it a productivity booster for busy small offices.
No product is perfect: the unit’s size and some reported reliability concerns mean it’s best suited for users who can accommodate its footprint and commit to Epson’s recommended maintenance and genuine ink use. For buyers seeking a versatile machine that brings tabloid-size capability in-house—without the worksite cost of a production press—the WF-7720 offers compelling long-term value when managed correctly.
