D-Color MF282 Plus Printer Review
Expert review of the D-Color MF282 Plus printer
The Olivetti D-Color MF282 Plus is a robust multifunction printer built with the aim of taking simple paper handling to the next level in office environments. There is an automatic duplex feeder to drive efficiency and paper trays capable of holding up to 256 g/m2 in weight and paper sizes up to 1.2 metres in length. This print specialist outputs at a speedy 28 pages per minute, making it an ideal workhorse for small to medium enterprises.
Design
The Olivetti D-Color MF282 Plus has a sleek design with a black and white contrasting colour scheme for a striking look. Its eye-catching facade is matched by high-quality tech inside as there is a large nine-inch capacitive operator panel with “flick and drag” gestures, which allows users to access quick-action buttons in the same way that they would on a tablet or smartphone rather than having to cycle through laborious sub-menus. It is possible to print directly from mobile devices using the mobile printing app and a local wireless connection. Direct prints are also available. Security features include encrypted PDF scans to reduce insider threats.
Advantages
The Olivetti D-Color MD282 Plus produces high-quality, vibrant prints. Finishing options such as automatic crease fold, stapling and hole punching can create professional products straight from the output tray. There is support for numerous file formats, including PDF, JPEG, XPS and OOXML, and a real-time preview allows users to check, rotate and delete pages via the touchscreen before printing. The printer produces consistent results and is reliable, while added extras can support high workloads. High-speed scanning is also supported.
Disadvantages
The touchscreen on the Olivetti D-Color MD282 Plus may be cumbersome for users well versed in traditional physical printing controls, and the 28 page per minute output for both colour and monochrome may be surpassed by higher-end models.
