Customer Reviews
This is a very nice compact printer, it folds up for easy storage and and does not take up much room on a counter. It is pretty simple and works like a normal printer, it offers a nice scan bed (with the top door being able to raise a little bit to support books and larger items and still have a white background). It has a little LCD screen, and simple menus, it has a slot for SD and Memory Stick Duo cards (mostly Sony products). It can scan and copy from the printer (I normally use the scan function from my computer and not the one on the scanner). It only uses two ink cartridges (which is shocking for a photo printer).
Installation was very simple and I was able to just use the Nearby Printers on my Mac and it was added instantly and ready to go (I guess the Mac already had the drivers for it or they were super small, since it did not take anytime! I was also able to detect the Printer from my iPhone (AirPrint). On my Mac and iPhone have Double Sided printing, and it automatically can do both sides.
This printer prints great pages and they look sharp and clean, it provides the same great printing that my large HP OfficeJet offers. However, this printer excels with Photo Printing! I put in some HP 4x6 Photo Paper and sent a print job (Borderless 4x6) and it looked great there was no smearing or anything, right out of the printer you could run your finger across it and not smear it. It does take it some time to print (about 2 minutes for my borderless 4x6 print), but for these results I can wait! They were very sharp and looked great!
The only changes I would make to this printer (if I could), is a better user interaction (the wording on the LCD screen could be tweaked a little and the button layout should be adjusted, since it is sometimes confusing). I would also have liked to have two trays, one for photo paper, and one for regular paper, so you could print to photo or letter without having to change the paper, since it excels at Photo Printing I am using my OfficeJet for Letter size and put 4x6 Photo Paper in this guy!
In the end this is a great printer, it communicated with my Mac and iPhone excellently (did not even use the CD), it offers all the features you probably need for basic printing and offers a great photo! There are a few tweaks I would of have liked to see, however, it is super small and can be folded up to take up no room! I am happy with this printer and am enjoying it. My usual problem with printers is ink consumption and I will see how long these cartridges last! But for now, it is perfect, small and provides an excellent Photo Printer!
