HP Colour Copier 310 Printer Review
Expert review of the HP Colour Copier 310 printer
Our Verdict:
This compact colour copier by HP is an innovative device for small offices that need a reliable and fast product for low-volume and standard copy needs. The HP Colour Copier 310 is a space-saver with its small footprint and it can produce up to 99 copies from the original, but it is heavy and the actual speeds are quite slow and time-consuming for the professional environment.
Design
The HP Colour Copier 310 is a digital-type device that prints with inkjet colour technology. It weighs around 8.6kg, which is quite heavy despite the compact frame. The input tray can handle up to 150 sheets, while the output tray can accommodate up to 50 sheets at a time. The flatbed scanning device for the copier is located on top, beside the small control panel on the right-hand corner. There is a small LCD display screen on the HP Copier 310 where users can view the status of the device.
Advantages
Colour copying is one of the strengths of the HP Colour Copier 310 and it can reproduce images with a resolution of up to 1200x1200 dpi, while documents have a laser-like quality to them with a resolution of 600x600dpi. Users can save space with the HP Colour Copier 310 because it is only 17.8 inches wide, 14.1 inches deep, and 10.7 inches tall.
Disadvantages
Speed is a major setback of this device because at 12ppm in monochrome and 9ppm in colour, the HP Colour Copier 310 is considered sluggish when compared to faster copiers by other brands. Media support is limited and the maximum size that it can accommodate is 8.5x11 inches. There is no PC connection available for the HP Colour Copier 310.
