The first thing you notice about this $ 169 multi-color multifunction HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One printer looks better than the competition. But this printer is also good, with first class output quality and print speed better than average, even though the cost of ink is only average.
Good looks
Photosmart 6510 is partly caused by 3.45-inch touch screen control panel. The screen is large enough to read and touch easily also makes this unit as a whole very easy to use. Connectivity is a bit behind: You will only find SD card slot and Memory Stick behind the front panel, and the machine does not have USB / PictBridge port - an unusual omission. MFP does support USB and Wi-Fi, and the installation routine is concise.
The HP package software for Photosmart 6510 is easy to use and supports all unit capabilities, including scanning and copying. It also lets you scan from the control panel to a PC or Mac, even if you're using Wi-Fi; Some competing models require a USB connection for this function. Photosmart 6510 supports HP Web-based applications and remote Web printing, as well as local printing over Wi-Fi from Android and iOS devices.
The paper handling feature for Photosmart 6510 is good for low volume printing and occasional scanning. An 80-page paper cassette has an integrated 20-sheet photo tray. The output tray contains 50 sheets, and MFP offers automatic duplex printing (two-sided printing). You do not get an automatic document feeder here, but you can find the ADF on a slightly higher cousin, Photosmart 7510. Unfortunately, HP seems to have ignored the idea that users will scan thicker than a letter: None of the Photosmart units have we tested have a telescope cover for easy scanning of pages from magazines or books.
The cost of the Photosmart 6510 ink is just average. Standard black cartridges cost $ 18 and last for 250 pages (7.2 cents per page), while standard cyan, magenta and yellow color cartridges cost $ 17 each and last for 300 pages or 5.7 cents per page. That's about 25 cents for a four-color page. You can substantially reduce the cost of color ink with XL cartridges, which are $ 27 for 750 pages, or 3.6 cents per page - almost two cents per page cheaper per color. However, XL $ 34 black holds only 550 pages or 6.2 cents per page, just one cent less than the black standard.
In our tests, Photosmart 6510 averaged average printing speeds and average scans above average. The text and monochrome graphics come out with a speed of 7.7 pages per minute on PC and 7.2 ppm on a Mac - almost one page per minute faster than average speed. Half-page photos printed at slightly above average speeds of about 3.16 ppm, while the same image is printed at a rate slightly below the average of about 1 ppm onto glossy photo paper. A copy of one page came out around the norm at 3 ppm. Full-page photos printed on the Mac arrive at a speed of about 0.4 ppm - slightly slower than average.
The output of Photosmart 6510 is great. In default settings, the text looks sharp and black, although the color graphics tend to be a little rough on plain paper. The overall color palette has a slight slim down toward the yellow, giving the graphics a warm and friendly vibration, if not completely accurate. On glossy photo paper, color graphics show considerable detail in dark areas and overall quite good, with the same warm color scales.
There is no doubt that the HP Photosmart 6510 will look better on your desk than most competitors. In addition, the output is pretty good, and MFP is easy to operate. If your scanning needs are minimal - that is to say, the lack of ADF and telescoping scanner cover will not bother you - Photosmart 6510 is the right choice for the price.
