Everyone likes one piece of equipment that can do it all , especially in the area of computer devices . Hewlett Packard is one of the most popular printer companies , and the 5610 is a popular multifunction printer . HP printing devices are often priced quite low so that you will buy them and then buy their over-priced HP ink. But if you instead purchase recycled HP ink cartrdiges, you will save a lot of money over the course of a year.

Like most Officejet printers, the the HP 5610 excels in print quality, producing sharp details in in phots as well as text. Less appealing is the speed of the 5610, which is asseptable for text printing (nearly 8 pages per minute), but becomes quite slow when it comes to color graphics printing (about 0.25 pages per minute). The biggest problem with the 5610, however, is its poor quality color scanning: color scans look gritty and blotchy , with visible scanning bands and less-than vivid colors. Grayscale scans are a big improvement and provide adequate detail with a good range of gray shading. The officejet 5610 scanner is able to scan up to 1200 x 2400 dp.

The HP Officejet 5610 MFP includs a 100-sheet input tray that handles a variety of paper types . An automatic document feeder (ADF) is also included with a 25 sheet capacity. Standard connection to the PC is via USB. The large buttons make it easy to make copies with the press of a single button. Other menu items access other less common features like enlarging, color correction and manual lightening and darkening. THe 5610′s lid does not detach , so if you make copies of open books or other larger items , you may want to choose a differnet model .

HP ships the 5610 with a standard-size black cartridge and a standard tricolor inkjet cartridge. The $25 photo ink doesn’t come in the box , but you can purchase compatible HP58 photo ink for under $19. The standard-size black inkjet cartridge costs $18, and HP says that it will last 220 pages. That makes printing cost a steep 8.2 cents per page. After the original ink is gone, you can purchase a high-capacity black cartridge, good for an estimated 450 pages. The OEM version costs $20, or a more palatable 4.4 cents per page. You can cut that cost down by ordering HP 5610 ink cartridges effectively reducing your per page printing cost to less than 2 cents per page.

Overall, the Officejet 5610 multifunction printer will give you a nice balance of productivity, ease of use , and functionality at an aggressive price. The 5610 is able to support a home office with light output needs , and it’s simple to use .
