Digital Photo Printing at Boots

Advantages: Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various sources. This can be a memory card, a photo CD, or Infra-Red direct from a compatible phone or camera. This has 2 benefits over the old over the counter method, firstly you can keep the media that the photos are on, very useful if it's your only...

Review of Boots - Photo Processing

fantastic photo printing

Advantages: photos
Disadvantages: cost of ink

...HP are one of the leading printer manufactures in the UK at the moment, this is simple because their printers not only offer great quality of print but they also offer anyone printers for any needs which targets the whole of the printer market out there. The HP PhotoSmart D7360 touch screen is an quite large 86mm in size. This offers the ability to view photos on a great quality colour screen and the ability to even edit them too before you press that print button. The touch screen offers many buttons to change the pictures appearance and layout and there is still 7 actual buttons for various things on the printer itself. The screen folds up and down for easy storage and so that it doesn’t get damaged when its not in use. On the right hand side of the buttons and the screen are the memory card slots. There’s four card...

Review of HP PhotoSmart D7360

Fast, easy person photo printing

Advantages: Good value, good quality photos
Disadvantages: A little bit noisy

...My father won this photo printer in a New Year dinner prize draw earlier this year, together with a Sony digital camera. Being the wonderful dad he is, he gave them as a gift to me and my husband so that we could take some great photo memories. Our version is not black - its the white one. The printer also came with a 'print pack', which contains print cartridges and photo paper. Each cartridge gives 40 photos. We had a lot of photos from our honeymoon and other lovely times since we'd been together, and having this little printer is perfect for lazy people like us that don't want to make the trip to the local photo shop! This is a very convenient solution for printing out those precious holiday snaps, at a very high level of quality - make yourself a cup of tea and discuss with family whilst sorting through photo collections...

Review of Sony Digital Photo Printer DPP-FP90

Suberb photo prints

Advantages: Excellent print quality
Disadvantages: slightly flimsy

...and make the printer rather larger once attached. Due to the limited space I have for this printer I don't bother with the output tray, its not particulary essential. ----Specification---- 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution Borderless printing Quiet mode printing (slower but its very! quiet), also photo optimiser and vivid photo tools. Easy photo print (this is a great programme it allows you to select the size and quantity of photos you want to print off, you can have a whole sheet of passport sized photos if you so want) & Adobe Photo shop elements included in the package as is the USB cable. Weight 3.4kg Printing speed text - 10ppm Printing speed colour - 4ppm ----Ink Cartridges---- These when compared to other ink cartridges look astonishingly good value but beware they are very small and its very easy to get...

Review of Canon S 330 Photo

Truly amazing Photo Printer

Advantages: Outstanding Picture quality, 8 seperate ink tanks, CD Print
Disadvantages: Expensive, slightly larger than the standard desktop printer

...Obviously as a range topping printer, you'd expect the print quality to be that little bit special - and this printer doesn't dissapoint. With 8 seperate ink tanks, including a dedicated Gloss optimizer for high standard prints, the results are truly inspiring, with an updated Epson design, which still shows the family traits from previous models (Have an Epson Photo 900 as well) With the latest Epson Photoquicker software, print options can be accessed with ease, giving a full range of options to optimize Digital stills, remove red eye, and auto balance light (Just don't expect Adobe Photoshop type utilities). All current sizes of photo paper are installed in easy to use templates, which means a much reduced time from photo selection to print. The CD print utility and software are equally easy to use. With the right type of printable...

Dell photo printer 720

Advantages: Size, cheap
Disadvantages: Paper intake, expensive cartridges, slow

...I bought this Dell printer several months ago when my old printer broke down. I have never really needed to print much (only the occasional essay or B-day card), so I decided to go for this cheap Dell 720 photo printer. I looked for the cheapest printer I could find and I believe this one cost between £30-35 on the Dell website. I have just checked on the website and I don?t think they even sell this version anymore. A newer version the ?Dell 725? has replaced the 720 and is now the cheapest model that Dell sells in the UK (at £35). I ordered the printer on the website and everything from payment to delivery went very smooth (as you might expect from such a big company). IN THE BOX: The Dell photo printer 720 2 Inkcartridges: 1 Black Standard Capacity Cartridge and 1 Tri- color Standard Capacity Cartridge (Cyan...

Review of Dell Colour Printer 720**- Affordable Inkjet Solution

Great photo printer

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Looking for a reliable - reasonably priced photo printer,then look no further. I was in the market for a new printer as had new digital camera and wanted a better quality printer as my previous epson was slightly dated and on its last legs. Having looked around various outlets decided that I liked the look of this one. What can this printer do - well apart from the normal prints from word, excel etc you can also print your photos. You do not need any connection cable from yourcamera to your computer,so if you are a bit short on USB ports this is for you. Your memory card can be inserted direcly into the printer and the printer actually reads the memory card faster than if you had plugges in your camera. The printer also has a small display so you can actually see a preview of your photos, this is quite small...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R320

Excellent Photo Printer

Advantages: Compact, portable, wireless, preview screen, easy to use.
Disadvantages: None really, but make sure you dont overpay, £140 is a good price.

...After having and using this quality printer throughout the last year or so i have found that this was well worth the money and i have been very happy. The HP PhotoSmart 385 is quite compact and very portable as it can be used wireless through USB and bluetooth connections. Its speed is ok but this is to be expected with a quality colour photo printer. The preview screen is the best feature of this printer allowing you to view before you print. This photo printer also includes 32 MB of RAM so some of your photos can be stored for printing in the future. When bought the printer comes with 1 7ml ink cartidge and if you enjoy printing your photos don't forget to include prices replacement cartidges and printing paper when deciding whether to buy or not. With prices starting at £139.46 this is a good buy and you wont be...

Review of HP PhotoSmart 385

Excellent Quality Photo Printer

Advantages: Quality / Speed / Quiet / Value for Money
Disadvantages: None so far

...I bought my new Epson R300 to go with my new digital camera (see my other review!) as normally I would send my digital photos to an online company to be printed. Having seen a demonstration in John Lewis and reading the impressive spec on Epson?s website I decided that I would order one. Anyway, on to the printer?. FEATURES - Print up to 5760 dpi - Borderless printing so that you can print right up to the edge of the paper meaning that you don?t have to worry about cutting the paper to size or tearing off perforations - Print directly from memory card or a compatible camera - Windows & Mac compatible - Uses 6 separate colour ink cartridges ? this is good as it means that the printer can more closely match the colours in the photo. It also means that ink is cheaper as you only replace the one colour that has run out. IN...
