Oh my goodness. I cannot say how amazed I was. I do alot of scrapbooking and can print photos on my all-in-one printer, but not without changing the ink, then the paper set up etc. The time to get there and wait was not worth it.
I think I might get one of these for my sister's b-day coming up. It is now past 3 am and I am having trouble getting to bed because I was to just print, print, print and scrapbook all night long. We can always tell with the digital camera that it is a good picture, but they always leave the house with me promising to get pictures to them.eventually. I cannot recommend this printer enough. With this, I just step into the office and in minutes have pictures for them. I just purchased the HP Photosmart a716 tonight and I am already in LOVE.
Another thing I am grateful for is when parents and in-laws come to visit we take lots of pictures of them with the kiddos. Yay HP. Then I decided I would have Wal-mart do my prints so I can trim them up and scrapbook. Within 15 minutes of getting this little gem out of the box I printed out 3 very exceptional 5x7's with the paper included.
Wonderful color. My wife uses this little jewel printer for just about 99 % of all our photo processing.
My only gripe ~ this thing goes through ALOT of ink.But all in all, it's a great photo printer. I love this little thing, so quick and simple, the photos come out looking professional, wish it would do 8 by 10's, but then it wouldn't be so compact.
Highly recommend. Have used this product over 1 year now and am completely satisfied. It doesn't print well from my computer but directly from the memory stick is great.
Bought this Photosmart A716 along with the battery for my wife who likes to scrapbook. I'm sure the per-print cost isn't going to be cheap, either. I like that it is compact, and prints up to 5x7 or 4x12 panoramic prints. Prints are acceptable, but if you look closely, they aren't high quality.
I dropped the printer about a foot (luckily, it was over a table at the time). I still plan to keep it, because it seems really well made, and is very compact, and will serve a purpose.1/2/2008 Update: The handle came off while I was lifting it out of a bag, at an angle. There is only about 2 mm of engagement of the pins into the handle. If it had dropped to the floor, it may not be working now. The trouble is, the die-cast handle can spread out at least this much, when the printer (with the battery in it) is tilted end-wise, and most of the weight is on one end of the handle. As a portable printer, it should be great.
There are two brass pivot pins that the handle fits over. I consider this a design flaw, and something to definitely be wary of. But, it isn't a top-quality photo printer. The resolution is visible in people's eyes, and in solid color backgrounds, there are speckles of color.
