HP PSC 2510 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 2510 Printer Review

The HP PSC 2510 Photosmart all-in-one is a multifunction device that is as feature-packed as they come. On the flip side, this MFD is weighed down by the same drawback that afflicts most such devices - the performance of each function is strictly passable. This PC and Mac compatible device measures 19 x 15.4 x 9.3 in and weighs 18.3 lbs. A 2.5-in color LCD screen enables direct printing, frame-by-frame printing from a digital video, it and also apprises you of the progress of a job. The input tray can hold up to 150 sheets at a time. As with most ink, such as Canon CL-41 ink, the PSC2510 ink can print on various media types include cards, banners, plain paper, photo paper, envelopes, iron-on transfers, and transparencies.

The HP 2510 ink cartridge printer offers maximum print speeds of up to 21 ppm for black and up to 14 ppm for color prints. The maximum print resolutions this machine is capable of are up to 1200 x 1200 dpi for monochrome and up to 4800 x 1200 dpi for color prints. The HP 2510 inkjet cartridge printer uses 4 or 6-ink printing technology. It ships with HP 56 Black and HP 57 Tricolor ink cartridges. This printer is one of those rare machines that actually use ink with thrift, unlike HP 27 ink. However, the quality of both text and photo prints is nothing to write home about.

The digital copier on the PSC 2510 can resize documents in the range of 25% and 400%. It can produce a maximum of 50 copies in one go. Duplexing is an optional feature. The scanner is slow and the quality of its output is can be considered fair. The software bundle includes the following - HP Director, ReadIRIS OCR, Scan to Web, Image Editor, Photo Gallery, Memories Disc Creator, and Creative Photo Projects. Support for flash memory extends to SmartMedia, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard, SD Memory Card, and xD-Picture Card.

The HP PSC 2510 inkjet printer connects via USB and offers both wired and wireless networking. It has a monthly duty cycle of 5000 sheets, while the ink can only last a few hundred pages, much less than Brother LC61C ink. It is worthwhile consideration for SMBs that operate in a networked environment and need a MFD with a full-function standalone fax element that offers everything from automatic redialing to PC faxing.
