HP G510 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet G510 all-in-one inkjet printer comes in several different models to fit the needs of individual buyers. The main differentiators are the connection options included, but each can provide similar speeds of around 30 pages per minute maximum. Each model also uses the same HP G510 printer ink, so prices are reasonably affordable across the board.

The multiple models may seem confusing at first, but the difference is simple. The G510a includes only a USB port, the G510g includes an ethernet port as well, and the G510n adds wireless networking, but not an ethernet port. This lets users choose the exact connection option they need without paying for unnecessary features.

The unit has a pretty compact design, measuring 8.5x17.1x15.8 inches, and it is easy to move, with a weight of only 13 pounds. While it is generally geared toward home use, features like the 20-sheet automatic document feeder make it very useful for office work as well, and a flatbed scanning surface is included as well. Users who utilize its scanning features in particular may find that their costs for OfficeJet G510 printer ink go down.

The input paper capacity of 100 sheets is double that of some smaller models, making the G510 a better fit for higher volumes. Multiple media types are supported, including transparencies, cards, envelopes, and labels among others.

The price of HP G510 ink cartridges can be a bit high, especially for the standard supplies. Using the XL OfficeJet G510 ink cartridges with larger capacities can reduce the cost per page. Third-party vendors also offer remanufactured HP G510 ink at even lower prices than OEM supplies.

The G510 is a very capable home office machine that can even handle a fair amount of volume. Its limited control panel is still functional enough for most users and operating costs are pretty reasonable for an inkjet model.
