3 out of 5 stars Printer instructions hard for me to understand   August 5, 2008

I was excited about getting this printer, but was soon disappointed with its functions. It did not perform as I expected to do. The instructions were difficult for me to understand. I still have not printed a 5X7 print yet. I am back to using my standard Canon printer.


5 out of 5 stars So Easy To Use!   July 21, 2008

Purchased this product for my wife because she felt printing pictures from the PC was too difficult. With the easy to follow directions included with this printer my wife was printing pictures in just minutes. The quality of the prints exceeds my high-end photo printer and the unit cost was more than reasonable.


4 out of 5 stars Great Photo printer! Easy to use, nice picture quality!   July 21, 2008

This a wonderful product, I like the simplicity and the quality. It has many extras like adding clipart, frames & borders, red-eye removal, cropping, brightness adjustment, an album creator, and the ability to add photo color effects like black & white, antique, sepia, and negative. The stylus makes it easy to scroll the menus and to choose your selections on the large LCD screen. It has all the ports for memory cards, USB, and Bluetooth adapter for wireless printing from your cell phone. It can print on 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper. It's great to take on the go because it's lightweight, compact, has a carrying handle and the screen and front door fold in. You can even purchase a battery for it for even more travel convenience. No computer required! I've printed tons of pics on just one ink cartridge (not on the one that is included though, it is only good for a few). The ONLY thing I wish it had is the option to print smaller pics (like two 2x3's on one sheet of paper). Other than that, this printer has it all and I've throughly enjoyed using it and believe me, I have used it A LOT! It is ideal for scrapbooking, too. A great item!!!!


4 out of 5 stars Slow, but High Quality Output   July 15, 2008

I prefer the design of the Sony Portable printer, but this is faster! However, overall the printer is pretty slow and takes around a minute to print a 6X4 print. So, this is useful for printing a few pictures at a time.

The quality is really excellent and I like the fact that it is totally disconnected from a PC.

This printer is ideal for us as we are traveling about the country in an RV and making loads of pictures at historic sites. The photos are sharp, clear and editable right off the camera card in the printer meaning no computer is necessary. The prints are also instantly dry, another bonus!
