+ Very smart looking (sad, I know). Extremely easy to set up and use. Only ever used as a free standing printer, not yet connected via pict bridge or direct from pc. Initially colours appeared fake in some pics but managed to fiddle with settings and this improved.

- Uses ink cartridges at a frightning rate, 40 pics! (this could be down to my mainly floral subjects which have vivid bright and dark colours throughout the frame) and quite slow to print (2-3 minutes per print).

Richard, Swindon

Score 10.0/10

+ It's a fantastic product but it's all about the paper. We bought some cheap kodak paper and some 4/5 star hp paper and printed the same photo. On the HP Paper the colours were rich and you could see the background. On the kodak picture paper the colours were very dark and you coudn't see the background.

- Would have bee nice to have the bluetooth feature build in and not have to buy it.

+ Small with a great little screen, has worked with anything we have given it. The bluetooth feature is nice for pictures from your phone. Printing smaller whotos works well.

- Slightly more expensive that other products.

Darren , Colne, Lancs

Score 7.0/10

+ Print quality is good, Bluetooth is effective and simple, very compact design, decent scrolling and plenty of memory card compatibility

- It never does a single print in the time that the manufacturer claims it will. All prints have been a minimum of 2 minutes every time. Screen is a bit small for any editing work you need to do. Ink cartridge has been replaced already despite only printing about 20 odd pictures

Expert reviews for HP Photosmart A618

TechRadar expert review

Compact photo printers like this Photosmart A618 are bread and butter to HP. Each year the company spends tens of millions of dollars refining its inks, optimising its nozzles and blending coatings for its photo paper. It got the formula right some time ago and has been tweaking it since. This new printer is HP's latest compact, and continues with the same familiar shape and ability as its predecessors. It uses HP's Vivera inks, supplied from a single HP 110 Tri-colour cartridge, which costs ¬£15 to replace and has an average yield of 55 prints. The best prints result from using HP's…
