  • Summary: good value for the money
  • Comment: Super easy to install...even running vista 64 bit (a 2 minute download from the HP site)...installed on other machines with no problems, just plug and play.

    Very easy to use, both my nephew (5) and my mother in law (77) had no problem using this...and using all the photo add-ons, like the draw function, the frames and the clip art.

    Photo quality is pretty good. Colors are very saturated, but black is not true black, but so close you won't notice unless you try. Occationally skin tones have gone very orange. I'm not sure if it's a function of the printer, the cameras or the computer....seems if you have some true white in the feild, and not much orange everything is fine.

    Speed...well, in practice a 4x6 takes about a minute and a half....a few have taken a bit longer. I have not had the chance to print any 5x7 or 4x12's yet.

    Ink useage isn't horrible, but the "valu pack" that HP sells with one cartrage and 144 sheets of paper...well, it might say the cartrage is formulated to print all 144 (or at least suggest that) it only prints about 50 4x6's....I've seen a few store brand cartrages that say they will fit this printer...havent' tried them yet, but at about half the price of the HP cartrage, it's worth a shot.

  • Summary: Nice little printer and fast, but a litte tinny
  • Comment: I purchased this printer to replace my Epson Picturemate. The Picturemate prints fantastic pix, but since I use it only sparingly the ink pad becomes saturated and I would get maybe 10-15 pix from a package of 100 sheets of paper and ink.
    The HP A646 is a nice little printed with a small footprint (which was something that was high on my list of must haves), it's kind of "tinny" (the reason for the 4-Star rating) but since I do not plan to travel with it (it comes with a nice carrying case) it shouldn't be a problem. Pros: It's as fast as the Epson, love the Bluetooth connectivity (it works perfectly with my BlackBerry), pictures are clear and sharp, easy to set up (no CDs or software to install unless you want to), color touch screen to edit and control print functions, nice carrying bag; and at Amazon a great price and free S&H.
    Cons: Like I stated kind of flimsily, no USB Cable, start up ink cartridge prints about 10 pix, and of course, dealing with the cost of HP ink.
    But like I said previous, the Epson was no bargain if I only got 15 pix from their photo ink/paper package.

  • Summary: photos made easy
  • Comment: For someone not terribly computer savvy, this printer is great. Speed is its only drawback. A little slow if you are doing many photos. VERY easy to use.

  • Summary: Wonderful to do business with
  • Comment: Over and above all I expected. The product was perfect but the seller was more than helpful and considerate. I will make sure when I need other products, I will visit them first.

  • Comment:
    Only used this item for a short period of time, so far so good. It copies as well as if you had them processed at a copy center. The fun part is that you can add captions or add borders to dress up the photos. So far nothing bad to say.
