And though I can tell the prints are from an inkjet, we've still already hung several of its works on our walls - the output is definitely frame-worthy. I carry a camera everywhere, which made this especially nice. REAL LIFE USAGE: I gave it to my wife for some recent holiday and it's already come twice on vacation and was used both times. The eldest and my wife agree the prints are "picture-perfect" and though the color is PERFECT (on HP paper, at least), I can see obvious evidence they're inkjet prints when I examine them up close. PRINT QUALITY: Everyone in the room with me (two parents, a wife and a child) agree the color is excellent. not reachable by children) surface to dry them on I would imagine the print driver allows for insertion of dry-time delay but I haven't checked). HANDLING PRINTS: The high-quality inks stay wet for a good five minutes after the printer's done with them, and even after that they stay tacky. When setting up an image for print, literally what you see is what you get whatever you see on the screen is exactly what you see on the page when you're done - if you've zoomed in, for example, you're going to print a cropped, full-page image of whatever you've zoomed in on. WYSIWIG: It's nice that we get good use of the included LCD. Did I mention it does red-eye reduction and some other processing by default in settings? And you can crop just by zooming. There is almost no boot-up time (the wait is never going to bother you), and it only takes a few seconds to read memory cards when they're put in.ĮASE OF USE: to use it effectively, you only need to know how to open it (pull down the paper output tray on the front AND pull out the paper input tray on the back) and how to load the photo paper (put the perforated tear-away strip UP, as in it's the last thing that passes through the printer). SPEED: It takes roughly two minutes to squeeze out a 4圆 photo. It's something my wife leaves in the trunk, but you wouldn't want to carry it for miles on foot. About six times the volume of a fanny pack (twice as high and deep, 1.5x as wide). PORTABILITY: The printer came in a bag reminiscent (in volume and weight) of an SLR camera bag that would hold a full-size body AND an extra lens. I'll make this very brief - I am very technically minded and you can trust my brief assessment because I also have experience to back my views up. Great printer for photos you can frame or share!
