HP PhotoSmart 100 Portable Inkjet Printer

Fine printer for older operating systems, but as of Dec '08 there are no drivers for Windows Vista or Mac OSX.

love the compactness and stylish look of this printer.
initial quality of the print out is comparable to regular photo prints or perhaps even better. compact flash drive built in is absolutely convinient.

However... after putting print picture on my friz door for 2 month. skin tone color has changed to completely green and other colors faded to dark purple. it wasn't exposed to direct sunlight neither. other pictures all suffered discoloration after 2 month. even the ones that were kept well in a frame. it was all printed on premiere papers that came with the printer.

is this the limitation of inkjet technology everyone already aknowledged prior to purchasing? or am I the only one suffering from discolorization and fade?

The picture quality is supreme, and no complaints about the printer overall, except for the ink door, which won't stay shut.

The photopaper used on this printer, however, can be easily damaged, so care must be taken on handling it after your pictures are printed. Perhaps I'll find a 3rd party paper, or HP will improve theirs.

I've this printer for about 4 months now. I love it. I also have an HP880c for our regular everyday printing. We also use that printer for pictures, but the clarity and ease of use is nothing compared to the HP PhotoSmart 100. At my cousins baptism we printed pictures from 3 different digital camera's (Canon, Sony, and Fuji). Everyone was impressed with the ease of use, how quick it printed and how good the pictures look.

It only prints wallet, 3x5 and 4x6 pictures, however, we really don't print many 5x7's or larger. If we do I just use our other printer.

If you have a digital camera this is a great printer to go along with it. Shop around and you can find a great price too.

With the Olympus CamMedia software that comes with most Olympus digital cameras and the HP100 printer you can create photographic quality prints that are a better quality (and easier!) than a traditional darkroom. I use an Olympus 2.1 megapixel camera and I have gone through several packs of 60 count 4 X 6 inch paper;I am delighted with the results from this printer. If you want a bordered print use the 4X6 inch size; if you want the borderless print, use the 4 X 6 1/2 inch paper size. You won't be disappointed with this printer.
