HP Photosmart A626 compact photo printer

 

HPs good-value A626 boasts touchscreen operation with its supplied plastic stylus, plus the ability to produce both 6x4in and 5x7in prints.

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

 

With an intuitive user interface, the HP Photosmart A626 has much to offer. Discover if this compact photo printer is a viable solution for creating photo prints at home.

Extremely intuitive, innovative user interface, convenient mobile design, supports up to 4 x12in panoramas

Dark prints appear flat, input tray's strange design holds too few pages

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 x12in panoramas is a very useful option, but the A626's small paper capacity is a strange, questionable...

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

 

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...
