HP PSC 1610 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 1610 Printer Review

The HP PSC 1610 all-in-one inkjet printer seems to prioritize its affordable purchase price, but without sacrificing output quality or features. It can scan and copy in color, and it prints at speeds of up to 23 pages per minute for color output and 18 pages per minute for black. OEM prices for HP PSC 1610 printer ink are on the expensive side, but alternatives are available to keep operating costs down.

The PSC 1610 is sometimes labeled the PSC 1610v or PSC 1610xi, depending on the country in which it is being sold, but the features are the same. The machine's dimensions are 6.8x17.3x11.2 inches, and it weighs only 12.1 pounds, which makes it a great fit for transient college students or those who might wish to store it when not in use.

The control panel is simple and straightforward, if just a bit limited. A PictBridge port and memory card slots are included, but without a color screen for previewing, users will need to rely heavily on the included software for most operations. When it comes to quality, reviewers have noted that graphics and photos are quite impressive, but text quality is a bit subpar. It also lacks some advanced office features like an automatic document feeder.

The cost of HP PSC 1610 ink cartridges is quite pricey, especially for the OEM versions. Fortunately, remanufactured HP PSC 1610 printer ink is available from third-party vendors at reduced costs. An optional "Photo Color" supply can replace the black HP PSC 1610 ink cartridge for more accurate colors, but it is not required.

Home users who plan to print mostly photos but occasionally need office functionality will be the best candidates for the HP PSC 1610 all-in-one inkjet. Its lackluster text quality and missing features like an ADF are only minor gripes considering its affordable retail price.
