Mark, London

+ Good prints, although colour balance is a little cold.
Fixed print price
Fast

- Small prints, no XD slot, Bluetooth accessory very expensive, no colour balance adjustment possible without using computer.Paper more expensive than prints from high street labs.
Serrated edges of prints a little messy.

+ A really easy, fast, fun way to print photographs. My wife has never printed a photo with a PC but now loves printing images straight from her memory card and giving them to family and friends.

- The only critisisms have to be the cost of the ink/ paper replacements and that the maximum size of the print is limited to 6x4

+ Stylish and portable.

- Slow browsing through photos on memory card. Gives better print results when printing from PC then memory card. Printer driver requires Terminal Services to be started.

Simon, N.Essex

+ What a fantastic product, small, well made, robust and so easy to use. We're delighted with the image quality and easy of use. So nice to archive prints in an album instead of everything of the PC, refills are resonable and easy to change. Highly recommeded. I would suggest a good camera to assist with good images, ours is a Sony T10 7.2m pixels and the prints are pin-sharp. Get one.

- Nothing bad at all!

+ Lab Quality prints. Easy to use and no mess, prints dry to touch straight away.

- can be slow to load from SD card, if there are lots of pictures. Ok though for up to around 50 at a time.

+ Great quality prints - the little postcards to send to relatives are great.

- Setting up the software on your PC to print photos is a pain - and too complicated.

Jase, Derby

+ Excellent photo quality, comparable to the photos that was printed from photo shops! Portablilty of the printer is excellent as it can be upgraded by buying an lithuim ion battery which goes inside the printer via a opening in the back of the printer!

- Limited photo size. Quite expensive to buy more cartridges. Very expensive to purchase the battery for the printer as it is almost same price as printer itself when I purchased it! Problems with Kingston MMC card although other cards works just fine.

Linda, Newark

+ Wonderful printing modes give different coloured effects sepia, black and white, vivid and natural to name some plus a good range of creative modes, calendars, speech bubbles and multi photos. Ink and paper in one cartridge and easy to change for a different size.

- Possibly the only thing I could say against it if I was being very particular is that it is a little heavier than I expected.
