HP Photosmart A626

 

In most ways, the HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer ($179.99 direct) is only a small step up from last year's crop of dedicated photo printers from HP. But give HP credit for trying new things, because the A626 offers something new and...

Kiosk-style touch-screen controls. Prints 5-by-7s, 4-by-6s, and up to 4-by-12-inch panoramas. Battery option

Although quality and speed are both respectable, both are a step down from the best available

The HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer adds the convenience of a touch screen to an otherwise conventional small-format photo printer.

HP Photosmart A626 Compact Travel Printer

 

With all of our electronics becoming portable these days, it was only natural for printers to head in that direction too. Released back in August of 2007, the HP A626 travel printer is not the first of its kind, but it is certainly one of the best on...

The A626 comes with a pretty hefty price tag. A few months after its release, the price of the A626 remains at about $175. It may be a bit too high, but you do get a lot of cool features for the price. Some of the features available in the A626 include...

Photosmart A626 photo printer

 

Attractive, easy-to-use, and innovative, the A626 should make a good travel partner for scrapbookers and hobbyists. The ability to print up to 4-by-12-inch panoramas is a very useful option, but the A626's small paper capacity is a strange,...

Input tray's strange design holds too few pages ; Dark prints appear flat

Weighing slightly more than three pounds, the A626is a breeze to unpack and set up. After plugging in the power cord, installing an ink cartridge, loading some paper, and inserting a memory card, you’ll be ready to print. The A626 supports all the...

HP Photosmart A626

 

The HP Photosmart A626 is the company's latest compact inkjet photo printer, and it features an innovative touch-screen to make the printing process easier and more fun. This 4.8-inch screen holds a large, 3.6-inch LCD display for viewing images and...

Based on the same design as HP's other A-series compact printers, the A626's sturdier construction is enhanced by the removal of any actual buttons, other than the power button, and the inclusion of a battery compartment. (The battery is an additional...

Easy to use, photo-editing and enhancing features, colour-rich prints

Slow print time, doesn't come with a USB cable

The HP A626 delivers plenty of bang for your buck. With enough photo-editing and enhancing features to keep the kids occupied, the easy-to-use HP A626 produces crisp, colour-rich prints. Pity about the drying time, though.

HP Photosmart A626

 

Snapshot printers are gaining a good amount of popularity, which makes perfect sense considering how amazing their print quality is and how user-friendly they generally are. The HP Photosmart A626 is definitely one of the smaller snapshot printers...

Rs 7,999 (MRP) is actually a pretty affordable price for a printer of this caliber; and considering the print output you can get out of it, Rs 840 (plus taxes) for its cartridge isn't too bad either. The quality levels may not be at par with some of...
