HP DeskJet 2510 Ink Cartridges
Your HP DeskJet 2510 printer uses the HP 61 and 61XL ink cartridge series. A compact all-in-one inkjet designed for basic daily document scanning and home printing, Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this model since Oct 2012. Switching from standard 61 (CH561WA) black cartridges to high-yield 61XL (CH563WA) options reduces cost per print during heavy document runs. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
Understanding HP 61 Cartridge Page Yields
HP 61 page yields are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing using continuous print cycles. Standard 61 (CH561WA) cartridges suit occasional light document printing, while high-yield 61XL (CH563WA) versions hold significantly more ink, ensuring more consistent output across school projects and home administration.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 61 | Standard | Black | 190 | $0.25 |
| 61 | Standard | Colour | 165 | $0.32 |
| 61XL | High Yield | Black | 480 | $0.21 |
| 61XL | High Yield | Colour | 330 | $0.33 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Compatible HP 61 Cartridges
For budget-conscious home printing, compatible 61XL cartridges offer a cost-effective alternative to OEM cartridges. Read our guide comparing genuine vs compatible cartridges to understand performance differences. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
Ordering Ink Cartridges for the DeskJet 2510
If you print mainly text documents, opting for high-yield 61XL (CH563WA) black cartridges or compatible bundle packs maximises print volume between swaps. If you print photos or graphics, pairing genuine 61 (CH562WA) colour cartridges with quality photo paper preserves colour accuracy. Compatible cartridges come backed by a complete money-back guarantee under our simple returns policy. We dispatch directly from distribution hubs in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip for HP 61 Cartridge Users
Always consider purchasing 61XL high-yield options or multi-packs rather than individual standard 61 cartridges. Because the HP 61 series integrates the printhead into the ink cartridge, high-yield options provide significantly lower running costs per page without requiring separate printhead maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield 61XL cartridge if my DeskJet 2510 came with standard 61 cartridges?
Yes, HP 61XL high-yield cartridges have the exact same physical dimensions as standard 61 cartridges and fit into the exact same slot inside your DeskJet 2510. The XL cartridge simply contains a larger ink reservoir.
What happens if one colour runs out in the HP 61 colour cartridge?
The HP 61 colour cartridge (CH562WA / CH564WA) is a tri-colour unit containing cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single housing. When one colour channel depletes completely, the entire tri-colour cartridge must be replaced to restore accurate colour balance in your prints.
How does the integrated printhead on HP 61 cartridges benefit print quality?
Unlike printers with fixed internal printheads, every new HP 61 black or colour cartridge includes a fresh printhead built directly onto the cartridge nozzle plate. Replacing the cartridge automatically replaces the printing mechanism, ensuring clean text and preventing nozzle degradation over time.
