Overview
 

Designed for people looking for the fun and convenience of a portable printer that can be used without a PC and taken anywhere. Ease-of-use will be a key requirement but not at the expense of quality or performance; they will therefore appreciate the ability to print photos in as fast as 53 seconds. Another key benefit will be the convenience of instant-drying when printing on HP Advanced Photo Paper, allowing handling straight from the printer without risk of smudging.

Features
 

Print 10 x 15 cm photos in about a minute wherever you go – friends, parties or holiday – without a PC. Easy carrying – trays fold up and snap shut. Get truly portable printing with optional rechargeable battery (not included).
 

Easily print without a PC. Transfer photos directly from PictBridge-enabled cameras and all major memory cards. Automatically remove red eye and preview photos on a 3.8 cm colour display. Trust your photos to HP, a leader in printing technology.
 

Get true-to-life 10 x 15 cm prints that dry instantly, so you can pass them around without fear of smudging. Print beautiful colour photos, or choose artistic black-and-white or vintage sepia tones.
