PCWorld: Review – A Business Inkjet Printer To Rival Lasers
The Epson B510DN is not an all-in-one, it’s just a printer, but very fast, the ink is surprisingly inexpensive and it produces better photo output than lasers. Price: as low as $575.
The Epson B-510DN could become the first crossover color inkjet printer success, outperforming the other members of its cohort–along with many lower-end color lasers–in print speed and cost per page. All this talent comes at a high initial price ($599 as of June 28, 2010). But if you need speed, volume, and economy, plus good photo printing, the B-510DN is well worth considering.
The B-510DN’s design is efficient rather than aesthetically pleasing. Replacing consumables is a snap, thanks to the front ink-cartridge bay, but the bay protrudes awkwardly from the unit’s face. The control panel consists of a two-line monochrome LCD and a few buttons whose purposes are clear even without word labels. The front input tray holds 500 letter-size/legal-size sheets and has a 170-sheet output tray on top. A rear input accepts envelopes and the like (or another 150 sheets of paper). It can connect via USB or ethernet. Automatic duplexing is included as a standard feature.”
