Epson WorkForce 310 Ink Cartridges

Epson 310 Printer Review

Considering its affordable price, the Epson WorkForce 310 offers a full set of features, from its all-in-one capabilities to its flexible connectivity. The inkjet printer is also among the quickest of comparable units, printing up to 36 pages per minute for monochrome projects and a maximum of 20 pages per minute for color. This small office printer has a handful of setbacks, but has an overall well-received design and affordable supplies that help keep running costs low.

As an office printer, users may be disappointed by its minimal media handling of only 100 pages, though it can support a variety of media types, such as envelopes, glossy photo paper, plain paper and bond paper among others. The unit is equipped with a useful 30-sheet automatic document tray that can quickly feed pages for multiple-page scans, copies, and faxes.

Output may also be a point of concern, with reviews that indicate text quality below normal for an inkjet device but still adequate for internal use. Graphics are average for such a printer, printing at a maximum resolution of 5760x1440 dpi using Epson 310 printer ink.

One of the unit's many positive elements is its ability to print and scan projects over a network thanks to ethernet connectivity. With control features provided on the front panel, users can make copies and send faxes independently from their PC. Alert notifications also provide user-friendly management over WorkForce 310 printer ink by reporting on the level of supplies.

While the unit uses the standard 4-color print system, its divides black WorkForce 310 ink into two separate supplies that will allow users to continue printing monochrome if one expires, though both must be installed at all times. The magenta, cyan and yellow Epson 310 ink cartridges can yield up to 350 pages each. The black Epson 310 ink cartridges have a maximum yield of 410 pages.

The 310 is most notably a cost-effective multifunction printer that is a networking business solution for low-volume offices. Buyers that can look past its mixed output quality and need a device strictly for internal use will benefit from this printer.
