HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer (Q8541A#ABA)

I was excited to get this so I could finally print out all the photos I have on digital camera, but after using this, I find that I prefer leaving them on my digital camera.

I used it for a few weeks, before I put it away for good, frustrated with how muddled the colors looked. I did get a few good pictures out of it, but overall I'd say 2 out of 10 were good, even if it was the same picture. The ink doesn't seem to last long, maybe 20 pictures, and the colors run darker than they probably should.

I'm not the greatest picture taker, but have had better luck printing photos on a full printer than on this item. I think I would use this more if the cartridges would last longer, and they weren't so expensive to replace.

I was excited about getting this printer, but was soon disappointed with its functions. It did not perform as I expected to do. The instructions were difficult for me to understand. I still have not printed a 5X7 print yet. I am back to using my standard Canon printer.

Purchased this product for my wife because she felt printing pictures from the PC was too difficult. With the easy to follow directions included with this printer my wife was printing pictures in just minutes. The quality of the prints exceeds my high-end photo printer and the unit cost was more than reasonable.

This a wonderful product, I like the simplicity and the quality. It has many extras like adding clipart, frames & borders, red-eye removal, cropping, brightness adjustment, an album creator, and the ability to add photo color effects like black & white, antique, sepia, and negative. The stylus makes it easy to scroll the menus and to choose your selections on the large LCD screen. It has all the ports for memory cards, USB, and Bluetooth adapter for wireless printing from your cell phone. It can print on 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper. It's great to take on the go because it's lightweight, compact, has a carrying handle and the screen and front door fold in. You can even purchase a battery for it for even more travel convenience. No computer required! I've printed tons of pics on just one ink cartridge (not on the one that is included though, it is only good for a few). The ONLY thing I wish it had is the option to print smaller pics (like two 2x3's on one sheet of paper). Other than that, this printer has it all and I've throughly enjoyed using it and believe me, I have used it A LOT! It is ideal for scrapbooking, too. A great item!!!!

I prefer the design of the Sony Portable printer, but this is faster! However, overall the printer is pretty slow and takes around a minute to print a 6X4 print. So, this is useful for printing a few pictures at a time.

The quality is really excellent and I like the fact that it is totally disconnected from a PC.
