Question HP 110/310

[nico]

Hey guys, I have a doubt regarding HP latex 110 and 310.

Are they both the same model? Is the 310 a generation older? Any differences?
I can't seem to find any info online because both machines are discontinued since the 115 came out and I am a little bit confused.

My understanding is:
Older generation: 310/330/360/370
"Newer" generation: 110/335/365
Newest model: 115

Is the 310 entry level just like the 110 but a generation older, newer, just another model of the same generation?

Thank you and hope you guys have a good weekend!

EDIT: there's also the 315 model, no idea where that fits in there

Ok so, according to HP's website the latest generation is:

115/315/335/365/560/570

Would the last one be:

110/310/330/360/370(?) and then the 5xx series

Still can't really tell the difference between the 110 and the 310

110 has no internal cross cutter and smaller ink carts at a really high price. Everything else is the same.

The XX5 designation is just mid model run improvements to prolong the model life.

Right, thanks for that 2CT appreciate the help.

I am still trying to figure out if the HP 310 is a generation older than the HP 110 or if they are part of the same generation.

My understanding so far is that the 310 came out with the rest of the 3 series: 330, 360
Then they introduced the 110
Then they updated models to xx5: 315, 335, 365
And the last one to come out was the 115

they released the 110, 310, 360
then they made minor changes and added a 5 to the end
the 110 does not have in a media cross cut like the others
i have the 360 and have loved it ever since i got it

thanks for the info papabud, 310 doesn't have media cross cut either. 330 and 360 have, 335 and 365 as well, not sure 315

Latex 110 ink - 400 ML at $90 (.225 cents per ML)
831 ink is 775 ML at $135. (.175 cents per ML)

in USD of course. Not MUCH more... but still worth it if you do large volumes of printing.

the 310 doesn't have a crosscutter... The only difference is the ink size.

The 110/310 come in the same box. And I'm starting to get the feeling the only difference is the firmware - My 110 can hold 310 ink carts... the 110 carts look dumb in the system. I think HP just put a limit in the firmware to block the 831 carts, so "Entry level" people can get in for cheaper.

I've seen other industries do that, didn't know HP would though - Makes me wonder if I can upgrade the firmware and get access to the bigger carts...

If you do figure out how to fit the larger ink carts let me know!!!

Been rocking the 110 for over a year. If I had the 310 I could make the same margins charging $.10 less per sq.ft. lol
Crosscutting is super easy as well. Cheers.
