HP PhotoSmart 145 4" x 6" Photo Printer

HP did a great job on this printer. It was less than $200 and it makes printing small pics to pass around so simple and easy. I take pics with my Kodak camera, insert the memory card into the printer, press print, and away it goes. No need to use a computer - that's the best part. Kodak software or the free HP software both work with this printer. Both are fine.

Photo quality is almost on par with regular grocery store prints from film. The printing itself takes a while and you have to wait for the ink to dry; however, compared to dropping film off and waiting to pick it up, this picture making system is far faster and more convenient.

Bottom line, if you have time & want the best picture quality possible, use film or print digitally with an online service. This device gives 90% of grocery store quality, but much faster and more convenient. It makes taking digital pictures and sharing pictures more fun.

I can't believe how easy it is to print a photo now. I used to dread printing my photos from the PC. This little thing makes it so easy....no PC needed -- that's the best part. It only takes seconds to get a photo out. I love it. I love having printed copies again; I now have them hanging on the refrig. Also, my Mom is happy again...I can give her pictures of the kids.
