For £253.26 ex‑VAT, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e is a decent bet if you’re a small office that prints **regularly** and wants an all‑in‑one that’s genuinely usable day-to-day: duplex printing, wireless convenience, and solid colour output without faffing about. Where it tends to make sense is when you’re thinking beyond “can it print?” and more “will it still be practical after a few months?” HP’s Instant Ink model can help with budgeting and reducing the anxiety of running out of ink—provided your actual print volume matches their assumptions. If you do, the cost-per-page can look much more sensible than paying for replacements ad hoc.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend it if your usage is **low or sporadic**. Inkjet all‑in‑ones punish infrequent printing (clogs, waste, and generally more maintenance), and if you don’t hit the Ink plan’s sweet spot you can end up paying more than you expected. Also, if your priority is “set and forget” for document-heavy workloads, a mono laser MFP is usually the safer, lower-maintenance choice. Bottom line: buy this if your team prints enough to keep it healthy and you like the predictability of Instant Ink; skip it if print volumes are irregular or you’re trying to optimise for long-term maintenance over total running cost.
