Service and support

 

HP PhotoSmart

Inexpensive; compact; portable; easy to use; includes a multitude of direct-print options.

So-so print quality; slow print speeds; must swap out ink cartridges to print in black and white.

The Photosmart 145 is a low-cost option for those in search of a portable, dedicated photo printer, but we recommend the Photosmart 245 if you can afford it.

Lightweight, easy to use and if not faulty, probably good quality printing

A simple, reliable printer that delivers good quality for the price

Gets through print cartridges quite quickly and they aren't cheap
