That works out to about 15 cents for a four-color page. The standard black cartridge costs $12 and lasts for 250 pages (4.8 cents per page), while the standard cyan, magenta, and yellow color cartridges cost $10 each and last for 300 pages (3.3 cents per page). The Photosmart 6520?s ink costs are average. Color graphics tend to be slightly yellow, with an evenly grainy look on plain paper and a smoother effect on glossy photo paper. At standard settings, text is nice, though it falls short of perfectly black and crisp. The output quality of pages from the Photosmart 6520 is quite good. Full-page photos printed on the Mac arrive at about 0.4 ppm–slightly slower than average. Single-page copies come out slightly slower than average at 2.9 ppm. The printing speed for snapshot-size photo prints is about 3 ppm on plain paper at default settings (a little faster than average) or just of 1 ppm on glossy photo paper (slightly below average). Text and monochrome graphics exit at a peppy 8.5 pages per minute on the PC and 8 ppm on the Mac. The Photosmart 6520?s print, copy, and scan speeds hover above and below the average. Note that the touchscreen requires slight pressure to register a touch–a bit surprising at first, if you?re used to more-sensitive touchscreens, but not difficult to adjust to. I especially liked being able to preview a scan on the screen. A 3.45-inch color touchscreen and peripheral controls that light when needed dominate the easy-to-use control panel.
