💡 Exclusive Technology: The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 is the world’s ONLY wide format printer with Display P3 color gamut (as of June 2023 internal HP research). Competitors like Canon, Epson, Brother do NOT have this technology. If accurate color matching is critical for your work, the 9720 is the ONLY choice! This exclusive feature alone justifies the premium price for photographers, designers, and color-critical businesses!
Auto Duplex Printing – Save Paper Automatically
🔄 Automatic 2-Sided Printing – A4/Letter Only
The 9720 features automatic duplex printing for A4 and Letter size paper – the printer automatically flips pages and prints both sides without manual intervention. Note: A3 duplex printing requires manual page flipping, but A4/Letter is fully automatic!
✅ Auto Duplex Benefits
- • Fully Automatic: A4/Letter auto flips (A3 manual)
- • 50% Paper Savings: Print 100 pages = 50 sheets
- • Professional Look: Booklets, reports, manuals
- • Fast Duplex: No waiting between sides
- • Perfect Alignment: Precise 2-sided printing
- • Eco-Friendly: Reduce paper waste significantly
- • Cost Savings: Half the paper = half the cost
- • Set & Forget: Walk away during printing
📋 Duplex Use Cases
- • Reports: 50-page reports on 25 sheets
- • Manuals: User guides, documentation
- • Contracts: Legal documents, agreements
- • Presentations: Handouts, proposals
- • Booklets: Tri-fold brochures, pamphlets
- • Invoices: Billing statements, receipts
- • Forms: Multi-page forms, applications
- • Study Notes: Class notes, assignments
💡 Paper Cost Savings: For an office printing 1000 A4 pages/month with duplex, you save 500 sheets/month = 6000 sheets/year. At ₹300 per ream (500 sheets), you save ₹3,600/year on paper alone! Plus reduced storage space and environmental impact. Auto duplex pays for itself within 2-3 years just in paper savings!
35-Sheet ADF – Scan Stacks Automatically
📄 Automatic Document Feeder – Essential for Offices!
The 9720’s 35-sheet ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) is a professional feature that allows you to load up to 35 pages, press scan, and walk away – the printer automatically feeds and scans all pages. This is absolutely essential for businesses that regularly scan multi-page documents!
✅ With 35-Sheet ADF
- • Load 35 Pages: Stack documents in feeder
- • Press Scan: One button press, walk away
- • Automatic Feed: Printer scans all pages
- • Fast Scanning: 35 pages in 2-3 minutes
- • Multi-Page PDFs: One PDF file, 35 pages
- • No Babysitting: Do other work while scanning
- • Perfect for Offices: Contracts, invoices, forms
- • Huge Time Saver: 10× faster than flatbed
❌ Without ADF (Flatbed Only)
- • One Page at a Time: Manual page placement
- • Lift Lid: Open scanner lid manually
- • Place Page: Position each page carefully
- • Close & Scan: Close lid and press scan
- • Wait: Wait for scan to complete
- • Repeat 35×: Do this 35 times!
- • 30+ Minutes: Takes forever for 35 pages
- • Tedious: Extremely frustrating process
📋 ADF Use Cases – When You Need It
📑 Contracts & Legal
Scan multi-page contracts, agreements, legal documents in seconds. Create searchable PDFs instantly.
🧾 Invoices & Bills
Scan stacks of invoices, bills, receipts automatically. Perfect for accounting and bookkeeping.
📄 Document Archival
Digitize paper archives quickly. Scan entire folders of documents in minutes, not hours.
📊 Reports & Forms
Scan filled forms, reports, applications. Batch scan government documents and submissions.
🎓 Student Documents
Scan handwritten notes, assignments, research papers. Convert paper to digital PDF files.
💼 Office Workflows
Scan to email, scan to cloud, scan to folder. Streamline document management processes.
💡 Time Savings: Scanning 35 pages with flatbed only = 30-40 minutes (1 minute per page). Scanning 35 pages with ADF = 2-3 minutes. You save 35 minutes per scanning job! For offices scanning daily, ADF saves 15+ hours per month. At ₹500/hour labor cost, that’s ₹7,500/month savings = ₹90,000/year. The ADF alone justifies the printer cost for businesses!
22ppm Print Speed – Professional Performance

Inkjet Cartridges vs Ink Tank – Which is Better?
🔋 OfficeJet Pro 9720 (Cartridges) vs Ink Tank Printers
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 uses cartridge-based inkjet system (HP 938 series) rather than refillable ink tanks. While this means higher per-page costs, it delivers superior print quality, faster speeds, and professional features that ink tanks can’t match. Let’s compare:
| Feature | OfficeJet Pro 9720 (Cartridge) | Ink Tank (e.g., Smart Tank) | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|

| Cost Per Page (Black) | ~₹2.50 (₹3.50/1250 pages) | ~₹0.10 (Very low) | Ink Tank |
| Cost Per Page (Color) | ~₹8.75 (₹2.33×3/800 pages) | ~₹0.10 (Very low) | Ink Tank |
| Instant Ink Eligible | YES (Save up to 50%!) | NO | OfficeJet 9720 |
| Monthly Duty Cycle | 30,000 pages (Heavy-duty) | 5000-8000 pages | OfficeJet 9720 |
| Touchscreen | 2.7″ Color Touchscreen | Basic buttons (most models) | OfficeJet 9720 |
| Maintenance | Low (replace cartridges) | Higher (refill tanks, spills) | OfficeJet 9720 |
| Ink Longevity | Pigment (long-lasting) | Dye (may fade faster) | OfficeJet 9720 |
| Initial Cost | ₹23,999 (Higher) | ₹13,999-18,999 (Lower) | Ink Tank |
| Best For | A3 prints, design, photo, business | High-volume basic printing | Depends on use! |

💡 Bottom Line – Premium A3 Printer with Revolutionary Color!
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 is NOT a budget printer – it’s a professional A3 wide format printer with world-first Display P3 color gamut technology. At ₹23,999, it costs more than standard A4 printers, but you get exclusive features: A3 printing, P3 color (25% wider than sRGB), 35-sheet ADF, auto duplex, 30,000 pages/month duty cycle, and professional speeds.

If you need A3 printing, accurate P3 color for design/photo work, or professional features (ADF, duplex, touchscreen), the 9720 is the ONLY wide format printer with these capabilities at this price point. The Display P3 color technology alone is exclusive to this printer – no competitor has it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Display P3 color gamut and why does it matter?
Display P3 is a wide color gamut developed by Apple that covers 25% more colors than standard sRGB. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 is the world’s first and ONLY wide format printer with P3 support, meaning it can print colors that match modern displays (Mac, iPhone, iPad). This is crucial for designers, photographers, and anyone who needs accurate color matching between screen and print. Colors appear more vibrant, reds and greens are richer, and prints match your editing screen perfectly.
Q2: Can the 9720 print automatic duplex on A3 paper?
No, the 9720’s automatic duplex (2-sided printing) only works for A4 and Letter size paper. For A3 size prints, you need to manually flip the paper to print on the reverse side. This is a limitation of the printer’s mechanical design – A3 paper is too large for the automatic duplexer mechanism. However, A4/Letter duplex is fully automatic and works perfectly.
Q3: What is the cost per page with and without Instant Ink?
Without Instant Ink: Approximately ₹2.84 per black page (₹3,552 ÷ 1250 pages) and ₹2.92 per color page (₹2,332×3 ÷ 2400 pages total). With Instant Ink subscription: Costs drop by up to 50%, making it approximately ₹1.40-1.50 per page. Instant Ink plans start from ₹99/month for 15 pages and go up to ₹899/month for 700 pages. For the 9720’s target usage (250-1500 pages/month), Instant Ink is practically essential to keep costs reasonable.
Q4: What paper sizes can the 9720 print?
The 9720 supports a wide range of sizes: A3 (297×420mm), A4, A5, A6, B5 (JIS), various envelopes (DL, C5, C6, Chou #3, #4), Hagaki cards, and custom sizes from 76×127mm to 297×420mm. The A3 capability is the standout feature – it can print documents DOUBLE the size of standard A4, perfect for posters, brochures, architectural plans, and presentations. Most competitors only print up to A4.
Q5: How does the 35-sheet ADF work?
The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) holds up to 35 sheets of paper. Simply load your multi-page document into the ADF tray, select scan/copy on the touchscreen, and the printer automatically feeds each page through the scanner. This is 10× faster than flatbed scanning where you’d need to lift the lid and manually place each page. Perfect for scanning contracts, invoices, reports, and any multi-page documents. Creates single multi-page PDF files automatically.
Q6: Is the 9720 better than ink tank printers?
It depends on your needs. Ink tanks (like HP Smart Tank) have much lower cost per page (₹0.10 vs ₹2.50+), but the 9720 offers: A3 printing (ink tanks are A4 only), Display P3 color (world’s first!), faster speeds (22ppm vs 12ppm), higher duty cycle (30,000 vs 5,000 pages/month), better quality, and professional features. If you need A3, accurate color, or professional features, get the 9720. If you need high-volume basic A4 printing at lowest cost, get an ink tank.
Q7: What is the monthly duty cycle and recommended volume?
The 9720 has a maximum monthly duty cycle of 30,000 pages (the absolute maximum the printer can handle) and a recommended monthly volume of 250-1500 pages (optimal range for longevity). This makes it suitable for small to medium businesses, creative professionals, and offices with moderate to heavy printing needs. It’s NOT designed for extremely high-volume environments (3000+ pages/month) – consider laser printers for that.
Q8: Does it work with Mac, Windows, and mobile devices?
Yes! The 9720 supports Windows 11/10, macOS 11-14 (Big Sur through Sonoma), Linux, Chrome OS, iOS (via AirPrint), and Android (via Mopria and HP Smart app). The HP Smart app is available for smartphones and tablets, offering advanced features like mobile scanning, cloud printing, and remote management. WiFi Direct allows printing without a router. Connectivity options include dual-band WiFi (2.4G/5G with self-healing), Ethernet/LAN, and USB 2.0.
Q9: What are HP 938 cartridges and their page yields?
The 9720 uses HP 938 series cartridges (pigment-based ink). Standard yields: Black 938 (4S6X8PA): 1,250 pages at ₹3,552, Color 938 Cyan/Magenta/Yellow (4S6X5PA/6PA/7PA): 800 pages each at ₹2,332 each. Also available: HP 938e EvoMore cartridges with higher yields (exact page counts vary). Setup cartridges included in the box have lower yields (~200-400 pages) and are meant only for initial setup. For best value, sign up for HP Instant Ink to save up to 50%.
Q10: What is HP Instant Ink and should I use it?
HP Instant Ink is a subscription service where HP automatically ships ink cartridges before you run out, based on your actual usage (not page counts). You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not cartridges). Plans range from ₹99/month (15 pages) to ₹899/month (700 pages). You save up to 50% on ink costs! For the 9720 with expensive ₹3,552 black cartridges, Instant Ink is highly recommended and practically essential unless you print very rarely. Unused pages roll over to next month.
Q11: Can I use third-party or refilled cartridges?
The 9720 uses dynamic security measures and will ONLY work with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip. Cartridges with non-HP chips are blocked by firmware updates. HP states this clearly: “This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip.” While you can use HP remanufactured cartridges with reused HP chips, most third-party cartridges won’t work. This is why HP Instant Ink subscription is the best cost-saving option.
Q12: What’s included in the box?
The box includes: HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 printer, HP 938 Setup cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow – lower yield starter cartridges), power cord, USB cable, setup poster, reference guide, regulatory flyer, and software CD (Asia Pacific only). Note that setup cartridges have limited ink (~200-400 pages) and you’ll need to purchase full cartridges soon. Consider signing up for Instant Ink immediately.
Q13: How does self-healing WiFi work?
The 9720 features HP’s self-healing WiFi technology that automatically detects and fixes connection issues. If the printer loses WiFi connection (due to router restart, signal interference, or network changes), it automatically attempts to reconnect without user intervention. This eliminates the frustrating “printer offline” errors common with other printers. The dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) also allows you to choose the best frequency for your environment.
Q14: Is the 9720 good for photo printing?
Yes, especially for photographers who need color accuracy! The Display P3 color gamut matches modern camera and editing software color spaces, delivering true-to-screen prints. With 4800×1200 dpi resolution, pigment-based inks (longer-lasting than dye), and A3 capability (11.7×16.5″ prints), it’s excellent for portfolio prints, client proofs, and photo projects. Not as good as dedicated photo printers for extremely fine art, but far superior to standard office printers and perfect for professional photographers.
Q15: What are the printer dimensions and weight?
Dimensions: 581×445×306mm (W×D×H) with trays closed, 581×849×306mm with trays fully extended. Weight: Approximately 14.6 kg. This is a substantial printer due to A3 capability – make sure you have adequate desk space (at least 60cm width). The weight makes it difficult to move frequently, so choose your setup location carefully. Requires clearance for paper input tray (front) and output tray (top).
