Printers are a real necessity these days, and top brands are always fighting for customers, wanting to attract them to one side or another, and the HP Photosmart 5510 is quite an attraction. The company has no need for presentation, as we all have heard of it and its products’ quality. About the 5510, however, there have not been so many people who know what this printer is about.
The first thing a newbie should keep in mind is that this is not just a regular printer. The 5510 also combines the functions of a scanner and copy machine, as well as being wireless and having Internet connectivity. The last part means you can order it to print something from any computer without having to connect it to the printer. That is called e-printing.
The HP Photosmart is able to connect to your smartphone, and through it, you can email it whatever the thing that needs printing is. When you get home, voila, the picture, document etc, is ready and waiting for you. This is an extremely useful feature, and it also saves a lot of time and hassle.
Next, we have to look at the image quality. Everything is good in this department, thanks to the special ink cartridges, the paper and state of the art technology that combines all the printer’s elements into a harmonious assembly. Every image that gets printed is able to hold its ground in front of a professional photo. You can choose to use normal paper, but do so at the risk of a minor quality degrade.
The printer’s setup process is really easy and fast. When functioning, the printer will not eat as much energy as other products may, due to is Energy Star qualifications and the Auto on/off function. According to the manufacturer, this mode is 26 times more effective than the traditional Sleep mode, thus making the HP Photosmart one of the leaders when it comes to energy efficiency.
Moving on, a user will have the option of choosing from standard ink cartridges and XL ones. The latter choice is best for those who deal with large volumes of prints. This way, a lot of money will be saved.
The instructions manual should be read carefully when configuring the printer. Make sure you calibrate the alignment properly, because this part is a bit tricky.
Overall, the HP Photosmart 5510 is a fantastic thing to have around the house or the office, owning both utility and pleasant design.
