It produced crisp, dark black text even at smaller fonts where I would dare to compare its line work to that of a laser printer. Thankfully, the Photosmart 7510 also doesn't sacrifice quality for speed.
Slides notwithstanding, the 7510's scores trailed behind the performance of the Epson WorkForce 645, a top performer in this category, but the difference won't likely be visible to you unless you're printing a large stack of pages at once. It churned out just over six pages of monochrome text, nearly four pages of color graphics, and screamed past the competition with 6.4 PowerPoint slides a minute. In lab testing, the HP Photosmart 7510 printer registered scores slightly faster than the average for multifunction devices at the $150 price point. Amateur photographers should also note that the 7510 doesn't include a separate USB port for PictBridge cameras, so you'll need to add an extra step to your process by removing the media and plugging it into the drive bay on the bottom of the machine. Regardless, its 1,200-dpi resolution scanned and copied crisply rendered documents and this model can also send scans directly to a PC, a memory card, a network folder, an e-mail message, or even the cloud. The standard flatbed scanner/copier measures 8.5 inches by 11.7 inches, but I was disappointed to find that the hardware omits a hinge that some may find necessary to scan thicker media such as books and multipage documents. I'm still not ready to see Ethernet printing extinguished entirely until wireless connectivity becomes more ubiquitous. Unfortunately, HP just started omitting Ethernet ports on its printers in an effort to push its cloud printing features that can only work on a Wi-Fi network, which you should probably be using to reduce clutter anyway. Using AirPrint, you can print out a photo from your iPhoto library by simply choosing the connected printer and hitting Print. In addition to a direct USB connection (like most vendors, HP does not include a USB cable with the printer), you can set up the Photosmart 7510 on your network via Wi-Fi, which also lets Apple users make an easy connection through AirPrint on a compatible iOS device. An intelligent sensor picks up on the best kind of media to use for each job and accesses the appropriate tray accordingly.Īnother gripe I have with the hardware is the low paper output tray capacity - you'll only be able to keep 50 sheets in the dock at a time before the stack gets too high for the machine and clogs the receiving belt - another reason for hard-core users to consider a more business-friendly printer. A single 125-sheet paper tray loads on the bottom of the device and also includes a separate top-loading 20-sheet photo paper tray for 4圆-inch and 5x7-inch media. The top of the printer houses the auto-document feeder (ADF) that you'll use to scan a stack of documents, though it's limited to 25 sheets at a time, so I recommend checking out a laser printing multifunction if you plan to use this device for heavy-duty workloads. The quirks of the display add time to the learning curve, but you'll have an easier time once you train your finger to unlearn the familiar iPhone gestures you might be used to. Unless you start a finger swipe on the outside of the display, the menu has a tendency to continue moving even after your finger lifts off the screen - frustrating if you're trying to quickly parse through a lot of apps. Though the sensitivity of the display is indeed a large improvement on some of HP's earlier touch screen models, it's still prone to precision missteps when it comes to scrolling through the landscape menu pane.
