![]() ![]() The supplied HP Director software is well integrated and useful collection of MFD apps, although they take up over 500MB of disk space, take an age to install and don’t offer any customised installation option. However, any changes need to be written back through Windows. The more demanding photo editor will appreciate the ease with which photos can be taken from inserted media cards (over USB or through the network). The 2.5in LCD screen allows for quick navigation of images, as well as some basic editing functions. It won’t make a vast difference, but those wishing for top-quality, complex monochrome images will notice – just beware of the 20.6p per page running cost (and that’s just the ink).Įlsewhere, the PictBridge support and comprehensive array of media card slots make printing your photos easy, and PC-independent. The 2610 can also utilise the optional grey photo cartridge (£17 inc VAT), which holds three tones of grey, producing less grainy mono images, and greatly increasing the range of shades on offer. The optional photo cartridge (£16 inc VAT) is worth the investment if you’re after quality, as it adds richness and minimises dithering problems when compared to the supplied tricolour cartridge. Our test photos were reproduced with great sympathy skin tones were natural-looking and colours vibrant and well defined. ![]() These speeds are largely thanks to HP’s Gen II cartridges, which feature double the amount of ink nozzles, theoretically doubling the amount of ink sprayed onto the page with each pass of the print head. Both times are around a minute quicker than the current average. Standard 6 x 4in photos emerge in under two minutes, and full A4-sized prints in just over four. Nevertheless, that’s still fast for the quality of the output. Upping the quality rectifies the misalignment problem and darkens text but more than halves speed to 8.3ppm. Quality isn’t too compromised either, as we saw only occasional errors in misalignment between print head passes, while text was dark and well defined. The FastDraft setting produces office documents at 19ppm – quick enough to beat slow laser printers. The PhotoSmart 2610 lives up to HP’s enviable record for print quality at high speeds. ![]()
