Good value photo printer |
|---|
This photo printer was supplied to me free with the purchase of a mobile phone therefore I was dubious about what its quality would be. But having used it to print, both from my PC (using a USB 2.0 cable) and using BLUETOOTH from my mobile phone, the print quality is great. Of course, having the ability to bluetooth a picture to the printer is great, but we all know that the quality of mobile photos is not great. Where this printer really excels is printing higher quality prints directly from the PC, and although (IMO) the colour sometimes is a little dull, the convenience of having a professional style print (produced in under 60 seconds) far outweighs any drawbacks.
Setting up the printer was a doddle; the print cartridge just slotted in - took 2 seconds, paper was a little trickier but still only took 20 seconds!
[edit 5-1-06]
Having now purchased extras I can see that whilst it seems expensive (cartridge and paper for 120 photos is approx £37.00), 31p per print is actually a reasonable cost for a professional-looking photo, especially when you consider high-street stores can charge 40p per print. Convenience is also a big plus. Also the prints are waterproof which is a great bonus for anyone who has ruined photos from an inkjet printer by having slightly damp hands when handling them. These photos will not smudge or run even if you put them under a tap! GREAT!

Good start however I did not find this too helpful as someone who has never heard of this before, if you add more detail and bit more research would be happy to re rate for you.

A bit more on good/bad colour reproduction, sharpness of pictures, time to print, etc. would make a good addition to this review. My cousin has just got one ad it looks like a pretty good piece of kit. Also, I'd add that you buy the cartridge and paper together in a pack of either 40 or 120 ;o)
