HP 510 Printer Review

The HP DesignJet 510 is a color inkjet printer designed for large format printing tasks. It can handle a wide variety of media sizes, and its fast printing speeds can reach up to 55 seconds per "D" size page. A sharp resolution provides clear images, and users will save on replacement printer ink, as HP 510 ink is very affordably-priced.

Since the 510 is designed to handle very large formats, its design is not as compact as some of its competition. It measures 43 inches by 67 inches by 27 inches, which takes up a fairly large footprint, and its heavy 99.6 pound frame is not easy to move. Its flexibility of media handling makes up for its extra bulk, however, as the device can handle sizes up to 42 inches wide, and a roll up to 3.9 inches in diameter. The inkjet printer can be connected via USB 2.0, or upgraded to support ethernet connection. It supports both Mac and Windows computers for cross-platform compatibility.

HP 510 ink cartridges are divided into separate colors to avoid waste. Saving on printer ink costs is easy with the low price of DesignJet 510 ink, and DesignJet 510 ink cartridges have a capacity of 1,400 pages each.

User reviews of the 510 are generally very positive, with users praising its easy set up and loading of media. Users also praised its quiet operation and its ability to operate for many hours non-stop without paper jams and other problems. Some users disliked the lack of a network connection for sharing among multiple computers.

Overall, the 510 should be a good choice for a small office or even a single user who needs high-quality large format prints at an affordable price. Its large frame requires a fair amount of space, but is low cost and savings on HP 510 ink makes it a good value.
