| Like most HP printers this product is well-engineered and performs its function admirably. It is stylish with a small footprint and works well as a companion to my HP 1020 Laser Printer. The only complaint I have is the software that comes with it can be annoying. It will pop-up at inopportune times and isn't overly intuitive. Pretty much a standard HP product with excellent hardware and sub-par software. |

This is a great little printer, but be forewarned. If you want to use it with a PC, there are two discs that come with it. One is labeled Vista, the other 98, ME, 2000, XP. I have an ME PC. When I tried to load the ME disc, it said it REQUIRES XP. So, if you want to use it directly with a camera, you're OK. But if you need your PC and it has 98 or ME, forget it!

| I bought the printer as a present for my father for Christmas. It's his second one. I'm not sure why his first printer stopped working, but he really liked this specific model because it is compact and easy to use. He often takes it to family gatherings so that we can develop a group picture or two on the spot. Although the speed is rather slow, the quality of the pictures is good. I had trouble tracking down the printer because HP keeps changing the model number. |

| I ordered this product refurbished and am very happy with it... the pictures come out with wonderful quality, quick and the ink dries very fast so no worries about smearing! I also love that you can print in black and white... and choose wallet size, etc. |

I just bought this printer and it wasn't what I expected. I had an Epson Picturemate that I liked quite a lot, but it died after about a year and a half. I thought I would go back to HP and get an upgrade to at least as good quality, better reliability, and 5x7 photos to boot.
Setup was easy and I was printing from Mac iPhoto in about 20 minutes. But unfortunately the first photo that I tried to print was taken in difficult lighting conditions. Nonetheless it looks good on the screen and there is lots of interesting green and brown vegetation in dark areas of the picture. On the screen it looks good, but on the printer the dark areas of vegetation just washed together into mostly black. I tried aligning again, full cleaning procedure, and online tech support. The Tech had me try moving the photo back to a memory card. That actually helped for some reason and I get some detail in the dark vegetation, but now the green clothing is washed out.
I tried the sample photo from HP and it looks great. I tried another photo and it looks good - brighter than the original with reds enhanced from the original. I kind of liked the original authentic colors but I could get used to these enhanced ones.
I'm disappointed that this printer doesn't reproduce faithfully the pictures on my computer. But it does seem to produce pictures taken with good lighting with a vivid quality that I hope I'll grow to love. And I do like being able to print 5x7's at home, and I also like to be able to purchase ink and paper separately which one cannot do with the PictureMate. |

| This is our first photo printer. I was pleased with its ease of setup and use. I was amazed at the high quality photos it produces. It is really fun to have instant access to our photos without leaving home. I'm sure that we will enjoy its portability over time. The unit itself, along with reasonable ink costs, make this a great value. |

I'm real happy with the performance of this model, I have one of the first HP printers of this type and
must say they've improved over the years. Print speed is about 2 mins. and using the best HP
photo paper it makes near perfect prints. I did try the cheaper HP photo paper, the darker areas
have a hazed look, this is NOT the case using the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. I bought a refurbished
one about 3 months ago and couldn't tell it from new, HP offers the same one year warr. and includes
everything the new one comes with, even the ink! I've found for me most things that are refurbished
have perform perfectly, it was worth the chance this time. |
