HP 7312 Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 7312 Wide Format e-All-in-One inkjet printer can handle everything from faxing and scanning to copying, with maximum output speeds of 30 pages per minute for black and 20 pages per minute for color. Its frame may be a little larger than some buyers bargain for, but its features may just be worth the size. With inexpensive third-party alternatives to HP 7312 printer ink, it can also be very affordable to operate.

The design of the 7312 is fairly boxy, with an automatic document feeder that takes up much of the top of the machine. The entire unit measures 11.4x21.6x17.2 inches, but it only weighs a light 26.2 pounds, even with the OfficeJet 7312 printer ink installed. The control panel is nicely laid out for a machine of its size, with dedicated buttons for copying, and the ability to make up to 99 copies of a single original.

While it doesn't include some of the more modern features like mobile printing, the 7312 doesn't suffer from a lack of connection options. It includes a USB port for connection to a single PC, and an ethernet port for network sharing. It also includes a USB port on the front for flash drives or PictBridge cameras, and several memory card slots for easy direct printing as well.

For an office-centric inkjet model, the design of the HP 7312 ink cartridges is more like a photo model, with separate colors of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This helps trim operating costs by reducing waste, and OfficeJet 7312 ink cartridges are already affordably priced. Using remanufactured HP 7312 ink instead of OEM versions will save buyers even more.

With a full array of office features that makes it feel more like a serious business machine, the HP 7312 is a great compromise for a home or small office environment. Its sharp output quality and low operating costs just add more to its value to make it a very appealing choice.
