Review on Xerox Phaser 6510/DNI Color Printer - Ready for Amazon Dash Replenishment and Improved SEO by Ryan Marx

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Some limitations but unbeatable price

I've owned the Phaser 6510 for about a month now. Having resolved some initially frustrating issues, I can unreservedly say that I am very satisfied with the performance of this color laser printer. At this price point, you're unlikely to find anything that comes close to the 6510 unless you're looking for a refurbished or used unit. While the price is ridiculously low, it's the cost of replacing toner cartridges that makes the 6510 a standout value. Revain offers a wide range of replacement toner cartridges for under $50, just 5 sets (2 black, 1 yellow, 1 cyan and 1 magenta). These are high yield ink cartridges and should last for months or even years depending on how much you print. Colors are reproduced flawlessly, and details in photos and other high-resolution images are better than many high-end color lasers. I spent over an hour and a half chatting with the support rep who was extremely kind, patient and willing but ultimately failed to resolve the issue. Eventually (and alone) I stumbled upon a combination uninstall/reinstall of both the printer and drivers, which worked. The CD that came with the printer was almost unusable. Now I've formatted many documents for perfect printing with no additional setup other than regularly loading media into the manual feeder. All in all, setting up hell aside, I'm in color laser heaven and would recommend the Phaser 6510 to anyone except those who are totally new to the technology.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Sad packaging
