00:05Do you ever notice how most office-grade printers feel like they were designed for a 1990s cubicle,
00:10not the fast-paced setup you've got in your gaming den?
00:13The HP OfficeJet Pro 9730 flips that script, it's a wide-format inkjet that actually respects
00:20the kind of performance metrics you care about, from print speed to color accuracy.
00:24Most of us print screenshots, frame-rate graphs, or even that massive 1x1x17 fan art layout
00:31without wanting to wait forever or end up with washed-out colors.
00:35The 9730 cranks out up to 22 pages per minute in black and 18 in color, so a full-size
00:42battle
00:42map or a multi-page spreadsheet is on the desk in under a minute.
00:46The dual-band Wi-Fi locks onto the strongest signal automatically, meaning you can fire
00:51off a print job from your rig, your phone, or your tablet without hunting for a network.
00:56What really sets this thing apart is the P3 wide-gamut engine.
01:01Most consumer printers stick to sRGB, which clips the vivid reds and blues you see in-game.
01:07The 9730 maps those hues directly to the page, so a screenshot of a neon-lit cityscape looks
01:14identical to the monitor. Pair that with the 4.3-inch touchscreen, and you can tweak density,
01:20select paper type, or crop a page with just a few taps. No driver menus that look like they belong
01:26on a 2005 workstation. The auto-document feeder handles two 50-sheet trays and does single-pass,
01:33double-sided scanning, so you can digitize a stack of design briefs or fan-made PDFs in seconds.
01:39The built-in HP AI trims web pages and emails, stripping out ads and empty margins so you waste less
01:46paper and get cleaner prints. Need a copy of a high-resolution game guide? Hit the copy button,
01:52choose Fit to Page, and the AI resizes it on the fly. Ink costs are the usual pain point,
01:59but HP throws in a 3-month instant ink trial. The service monitors your cartridge levels and
02:05ships new ink before you run dry, typically shaving 3050% off the price you'd pay at retail. After the
02:12trial you'll need to decide if the subscription is worth it, but those first three months are
02:17essentially free. The one thing I'd flag is the footprint. At 21x24x15 inches it's larger than a
02:24typical desktop tower, so you'll need a dedicated spot on or under your desk. It's not a deal-breaker
02:30if you have the space, but you'll want to plan for it. Bottom line, you get fast, duplex,
02:3611x17 color prints that actually match what you see on screen, solid wireless connectivity,
02:42and a touch screen that feels more like a phone than a printer. If you're ready to stop juggling
