This stylish compact printer combines a small design with useful features in a device that is easy to operate for its mid-range price. It is very affordable and easy to carry around, but also comes with a few quirks that may send you looking for other options.
Basic features of the HP Photosmart A646 compact photo printer
The HP Photosmart A646 Compact Photo Printer features the ability to print three sizes of photos, 4 by 6, 4 by 12 or panorama, and 5 by 7. It is fitted with two media slots conveniently located on the front for flash disks and memory cards so you can print without having to use a computer. It also comes with a highly responsive touch screen--something that's not always seen in compact printers.
Minor problems have been reported in print quality, ink costs, and speed of printing. It also doesn’t come with a battery. So if you are planning to tote this thing outdoors, be on the lookout for electrical plugs.
Other nifty features
One interesting fact about the HP Photosmart A646 Compact Photo Printer that will surely have consumers buzzing is the fact that the printer chassis is made out of recycled plastic. It also comes with the very stylish and characteristic circular HP designs on the front cover.
For cuteness and for portability, the HP Photosmart A646 Compact Photo Printer is a winner, hands-down. However, you may find an equally small printer that uses less ink and is less picky on photo paper for the same price.
