HP 2610 Printer Review

For buyers who need essential office features but also want the ability to upload, scan, edit and print photos, the HP Photosmart 2610 multifunction inkjet printer might be just the right choice. It offers the best of office and consumer features in an affordable package with fast performance. Printer ink costs are low, as HP 2610 ink cartridges are very affordable as well.

The HP 2610 keeps things compact, measuring 8.3 inches by 18.3 inches by 14.6 inches and weighing 18.7 pounds. Paper capacity may be a bit small for some users, at only 150 sheets, but the majority of home and small office users will find this to be a good fit. The unit includes both a USB connection and an ethernet port for sharing among multiple users. Its capacities won't support a large number of users, but a small office or networked home will suit it just fine. The 2610v model adds video-capture features, and the 2610xi adds more memory and extra paper capacity.

Faxing speed is fast, at up to 33.6 Kbps, faster than many laser models. Print speed is also very quick, at up to 30 pages per minute for black and 20 pages per minute for color. Memory card slots provide built-in support for the most popular formats, and a USB port allows PictBridge-enabled cameras to connect and upload files directly for added convenience.

Photosmart 2610 ink cartridges are priced below average for a typical inkjet, saving on printer ink over the long run. HP 2610 ink is available in a variety of capacities as well, allowing for lower upfront prices or a lower cost per page, depending on the buyer's preference.

The HP 2610 is a model that really has it all. It gives buyers everything they need for serious office work, but it also provides a great photo printing experience. Its small size is an easy fit in any office, and inexpensive HP 2610 ink keeps operating costs down.
