Epson SureColor SC-T3100M A1 Multifunction Printer (C11CJ36301A1)
The Epson SureColor SC-T3100M (C11CJ36301A1) is a compact, entry-level A1 multifunction printer designed for architects, engineers and construction professionals. It is best for those who need accurate large-format print, scan and copy output. Moreover, all this is possible without losing valuable office space.
As a result, it’s best suited to small offices, studios and site cabins. This applies where clear technical drawings, quick revisions and reliable day-to-day usability matter most.
Best for
- Ideal users: 1-3 user workgroups
- Typical output: CAD line drawings, plans, GIS maps, posters and presentations
- Recommended volume: low-volume / occasional A1 printing and scanning
- Environment: small offices, studios and construction site cabins
Print and image quality
Using Epson UltraChrome XD2 pigment inks, the SC-T3100M delivers deep blacks, crisp line detail and accurate colour. This makes it a strong choice for technical documents and presentation prints. Consequently, output remains smudge-resistant and water-resistant. This is ideal when drawings are handled frequently on-site or in busy offices.
Scanning and copying
The integrated 600dpi CIS colour scanner supports originals up to 2.7 metres in length, enabling you to scan to file, copy, or securely email documents with excellent clarity. Therefore, it’s well suited to teams that need quick mark-ups, revisions and archiving without relying on outsourcing.
Media handling
Whether you’re producing CAD drawings, retail posters or mixed-media presentations, this model supports a flexible range of media types:
- Roll feed: up to 50m of standard plot paper, or 30m of photo media, max 2-inch core.
- Cut sheets: optional tray supports A3 and A4 documents
- Manual feed: ideal for occasional A1 or A2 prints on speciality media
In addition, top-loading media and the 4.3″ touchscreen keep operation simple and familiar for busy teams.
Connectivity, security and workflow
- Connections: USB, Ethernet (LAN) and Wi-Fi
- Workflow: print from workstations, plus scan to email and file
- Security: data encryption and secure scan functions to help protect sensitive plans
This means you can fit the SC-T3100M into existing office or site workflows with minimal setup, while helping safeguard confidential documents when scanning to email or network locations.
Footprint and setup options
With a footprint of 970mm wide x 505mm deep and a weight of under 36kg, it’s a practical choice for space-led environments. You can purchase it as a desktop model or with an optional stand and basket-style media catcher, so the setup matches the way your team works.
Running costs and workload fit
For teams printing lower volumes, the SC-T3100M offers a sensible balance of capability and running costs. However, if your workload involves consistently high A1 print volumes day after day, a heavier-duty, higher-volume device may be a better fit.
Plot it’s expert take
At Plot it, we typically recommend the SC-T3100M for smaller teams who need occasional A1 print plus integrated scanning and copying. This is useful in a compact footprint. What stands out is how much functionality you get in one space-efficient unit. That helps streamline drawing revisions and reduces reliance on separate scan hardware.
In addition, the extended warranty option is a major benefit. It’s the only entry-level MFP in its class where printheads can be covered for the full contract life (subject to fair use T&Cs – speak to us for details). As a result, you can plan budgets more confidently. You can also reduce long-term risk.
