HP Photosmart A516 Compact Photo Printer

 

The HP Photosmart A516 prints at sizes up to 4- by 12-inch panoramas, and offers an LCD for previewing photos on cards.

True photo quality. LCD for previewing photos. Water-resistant output. Prints panoramas at 4 by 12 inches.

LCD is small by today's standards. Can't adjust LCD angle for better viewing.

A printer for 15x10cm photo graphs, it has a small TFT screen and can be connected direct to cameras via Pict Bridge, print from a range of photo cards or even from a PC.

User friendly, simple to work with an ideal present.

AS with all printers - the cost of media to use with it!
