What Ink Does the HP DeskJet 3510 Use?
Last Updated:Correction (October 2026): an earlier version of this guide said the DeskJet 3510 uses four HP 564 cartridges. That was wrong. The DeskJet 3510, 3511 and 3512 take HP 61: one black and one tri-color cartridge. The DeskJet 3520 series is the HP 564 model.
Quick answer: The HP DeskJet 3510 uses HP 61 ink: one black and one tri-color cartridge. The high-yield HP 61XL Black and HP 61XL Tri-Color are rated for about 430 and 300 pages (HP originally rated them at 480 and 330). In July 2026 HP replaced them in stores with a high-yield black, C0PA4AN (about 360 pages), and a single tri-color, C0PA5AN (about 200 pages). Both generations fit.
2026 change: In July 2026 HP refreshed the HP 61 line. The new cartridges are a high-yield black, C0PA4AN (about 360 pages), and a single HP 61 tri-color, C0PA5AN (about 200 pages). There is no longer a separate XL tri-color. HP says the new cartridges work in the same printers as before. The earlier CH561WN–CH564WN cartridges, including the 61XL we remanufacture, still fit the DeskJet 3510.

Limited data: We could not find enough owner ratings or published expert scores for this printer, so those weights are spread across the other pillars. With neither owner ratings nor a published expert score, we cap this printer at 69 (Situational) until better data is available.
No longer sold new. The DeskJet 3510 is an older e-All-in-One, and we found no new units for sale. HP 61 cartridges for it are still easy to find.

The DeskJet 3510 e-All-in-One series includes the 3510, 3511 and 3512, and all three take HP 61. The same HP 61 / 61XL cartridges fit the ENVY 4500 and ENVY 5530 series, the OfficeJet 4630 series (including the 4635), the OfficeJet 2620, and the DeskJet 1000, 1050, 2540 and 3050.
We sell remanufactured HP 61XL black and tri-color cartridges and a 61XL black and tri-color combo pack. They are the earlier CH563WN and CH564WN cartridges and keep the original HP chip.
The DeskJet 3510 is a compact e-All-in-One with print, scan and copy. It takes two cartridges, one black and one tri-color, and the printhead is built into each one.
Do not confuse the DeskJet 3510 with the DeskJet 3520 series (3520, 3522), which uses four HP 564 cartridges. HP 564 will not fit the 3510, and HP 61 will not fit the 3520.
How to Replace the Ink in the HP DeskJet 3510
- Turn the printer on and open the ink cartridge access door. Wait for the carriage to move to the center and stop.
- Press down lightly on the cartridge you are replacing to release it, then pull it up and out.
- Unwrap the new cartridge and pull off the plastic tape by its tab. Do not touch the copper contacts or the ink nozzles.
- Slide the cartridge into its slot at a slight upward angle, contacts facing the printer, and push until it clicks into place.
- Close the access door. If the printer prints an alignment page, follow the prompts on the control panel.
Troubleshooting Tips
"Cartridge problem" or "incompatible cartridge": Take the cartridge out, check that all the tape is off, wipe the copper contacts with a dry lint-free cloth and push it back in until it clicks. If the message stays, print with one cartridge at a time (single-cartridge mode) to find out whether a cartridge or the carriage is at fault. Our HP cartridge not recognized guide covers every other HP message.
Streaks or faded color: On the 3510 the printhead is built into each HP 61 cartridge. Run the cartridge cleaning from the printer's menu or HP software. If a color stays faded after two cleanings, the cartridge itself is the likely culprit, and replacing it also replaces the printhead.
One cartridge empty: The tri-color cartridge holds cyan, magenta and yellow together, so when one color runs out you replace the whole tri-color cartridge. If you can't replace it right away, the printer can keep going in single-cartridge mode with only the black installed.
What DeskJet 3510 owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for this printer on retailer Q&A pages, HP's support forum and owner reviews, answered in our words.
Does the DeskJet 3510 take HP 564 or HP 61?
HP 61: one black and one tri-color cartridge. The similar-looking DeskJet 3520 series is the one that takes four HP 564 cartridges, which is where the mix-up comes from.
Do the 3511 and 3512 take the same ink?
Yes. Retailers list HP 61 and 61XL (CH563WN black, CH564WN tri-color) for the 3511 and 3512 as well.
Is HP 61 changing in 2026?
Yes. In July 2026 HP refreshed HP 61 with new part numbers and updated yields: a high-yield black (C0PA4AN, about 360 pages) and a single tri-color (C0PA5AN, about 200 pages). HP says they fit the same printers.
How many pages do HP 61XL cartridges print?
HP's later ratings for the 61XL are about 430 pages black and 300 tri-color. HP originally rated them at 480 and 330, so you will still see those numbers on older listings.
After an aftermarket cartridge ran dry, the printer calls even a genuine HP 61 incompatible. What now?
Owners of other HP 61 printers report the same thing. HP's support agent had them test one cartridge at a time in single-cartridge mode to find out whether a cartridge or the carriage was at fault.
DeskJet 3510 quirks worth knowing
- The DeskJet 3510 and DeskJet 3520 look alike and have almost the same name, but take completely different ink: two HP 61 cartridges in the 3510, four HP 564 cartridges in the 3520.
- HP 61 cartridges have the printhead built in, so every new cartridge also gives you a new printhead. Persistent streaks usually mean the cartridge, not the printer.
- HP 61 printers can run in single-cartridge mode, with only the black or only the tri-color installed, at lower quality and speed.
- The "e" in e-All-in-One means HP ePrint, not HP+. The 3510 predates HP+.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many ink cartridges does the HP DeskJet 3510 use?
Two: one HP 61 black and one HP 61 tri-color.
Can I mix HP 61 and HP 61XL cartridges?
Yes. Standard and XL cartridges fit the same slots, so you can pair an XL black with a standard tri-color, or the other way around.
Does using remanufactured ink void my warranty?
No. The U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act stops HP from voiding your warranty just because you used third-party cartridges.
