HP PhotoSmart D5160

This is my second ever printer. The Printer before this one was about 5-6years old so when i got this new one it was like entering a new world. The draft setting is amazing. The printer literally prints so quickly that the paper gets spat out! I found this amazing! From the old one to this one there is a huge step! I have also recently got a camcorder with an SD card. I used to have to plug in the camera and the computer had to go though all the stages of opening up the aplications and everything for the camcorder. But now i have an SD card reader included in the Printer! It also has: XD ... more

The HP Photosmart D5160 is a lovely printer keenly priced. The photos it prints are sharp and clear, given the use of the right paper. On standard document printing it ranks along side other HP inkjets. Where it excels other HP inkjets is the ability to load SD cards, USB memory sticks and the like directly into the printer itself and therefore avoids the need to have a computer. It also can print directly onto CD/DVDs with a printable surface (Not standard CD/DVDs). Therefore you get a lot of printer for your money. For picture quality and speed it is up there with the best. Its price is very ... more

To begin, this is a fantastic photo printer with many different features and I highly recommend you purchase it if you want beautiful colour quality photo prints, in a matter of seconds. So, you get it out the box and set it up by plugging in the power supply and connecting the printer to the PC via USB Cable (This is not included in the bundle, which is a little off, considering you need it to hook it up to your PC and get use out of it). So, after plugging it in and finding a place for it, you install the HP Photosmart software which comes with the printer bundle obviously. This is done by ... more

To begin, this really is a great printer, and it prints photos with superb quailty, at a really good price. Also, as with most HP models, you replace the ink and the print header, which means that you don't have to worry about cleaning the heads all the time. The D5160 has a very useful feature, two paper trays, an A4 at the front and a 10x15 behind, meaning you don't have to keep re-sizing the tray to fit your paper. Another wonderful feature is the memory card slots; you can just take the memory card out of your digital camera and place it in the printer's memory card slot (it has a number ... more

Fantastic printer, very good value for money. Very easy to use and very easy to install the software. I found it quiet as far as home printers go. And quite quick with quality printing. I think the slots for your memory card from your camera is a great idea and makes for printing photos easy. The only 'little' moan I have is that there wasn't a USB cable in the box and you can't connect to your PC/Laptop with out one. But I guess it's my fault for not reading the box properly but I don't think it would have hurt to have thrown one in with the package so you were ready to go when you got the ... more
