This week, I’ve been test-driving the HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One printer. This model forms part of the new revolution in wireless printing, with a wealth of features packing a punch at US/CDN $150.
I like the combination of matte and glossy black finish and sleek design of the printer.
It’s the amount of features that perked my interest in reviewing the 6510 in the first place:
- Automatic two-sided printing
- Access apps directly from the touchscreen for printing recipes, colouring pages, and games without a computer
- Make the most of fun and useful templates for calendars, games, and other projects using HP Quick Forms
- Print photos and documents, make quick copies, scan and get access to apps from print to the web
- Produce lab quality photos; scan using the 3.5 inch colour diagonal screen
- Print on photo quality or plain paper (plus a variety of media types) using the automatic paper tray
- Access online photo libraries
- Onboard memory slots to print photos without a computer
- Uses four individual inks, expandable to high-capacity cartridges to save on usage costs
- Print photos and documents while on the go
- Set preferences to who can access ePrint, a service available as a wireless network
- Integrated wireless networking allows cloud printing from multiple computers
- Access a suite of mobile printing solutions (via connecting the e-All-in-One to a wireless network)
- With AirPrint™, print wirelessly from an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch
- Consumes up to 50% less paper with two-sided printing
