HP Photosmart 385 GoGo Photo Printer

The HP Photosmart 385 GoGo Photo Printer offers a superb feature set, but output has its problems.

Prints from computers, PictBridge cameras, and memory cards. LCD for previewing photos. Battery and Bluetooth options available.

Photos are tacky immediately after printing and can smudge if they get wet.

Photosmart 385 GoGo

Its colorful prints, and the ability to print panoramas make the HP Photosmart 385 GoGo a real contender in the fast-growing portable photo printer market.

Very good print quality ; compact design ; can print panoramas

No handle ; best cost per print only available when buying a large quantity of media ; photos are slow to dry

The design and color scheme are a little conservative for a printer with the word GoGo in its name: Dressed in white and silver, the printer doesn't call a lot of attention to itself when sitting closed. But while in operation, it displays an...
