Hewlett Packard Officejet 5610 All-In-One InkJet Printer Reviews

Yikes!  I'm really wishing I had chosen a different printer!  It sounded great.  Low price, lots of capabilities (fax, copier, color and b/w prints), and from a well respected brand, but watch out!  This thing eats ink like you would believe!  AND the ink is really pricey and doesn't last.  The claims for the number of prints are completely false, you won't even get half the prints that the manufacturer promises.  I don't even print photos and I barely get 20 prints (with limited color) out of each $24 color cartridge.  Do the math and I could have purchased a top of the line color laser...

I'm nervous about buying computer products. They tend to malfunction or freeze for unknowable reasons. But, at 2 years old, I'm still pleased with the Hewlett Packard OfficeJet 5610 All-in-One. It scans easily, can fax (although I haven't set that up because I don't have another phone line, and the phone is the complicated part), copies reliably, and prints in color - does a nice job on family photos. I've used it to print color invitations on card stock, to print photos on post cards, and to print resumes and formal letters. It's compact and lightweight, but so far, sturdy enough for this family....

This printer is efficient and for a casual computer user, the ink cartridge lasts an awfully long time. The fax option is awfully nice, even though I'm never going to use it, I know that it is there if I would like it.

And this product is a pretty good value purchase too.
