Advantages: Crammed with technology and low running costs

Disadvantages: Limited to 5x7, bluetooth dongle is optional

An excellent printer! I've bought a few A4 printers in recent years but I'm completely blown away by the amount of technology crammed into this little printer and the price tag makes it cheaper than most bottom end A4 printers.
This printer does both 5x7 and 4x6 photo colour prints. It's incredibly compact, folding down to the size of a small hangbag but folds out to have a full LCD screen with menus, paper catcher, paper tray and an impressive array of connectivity options.
I purchased this printer with the bluetooth widget so now people can come round to our house and print pictures from their phone.
The picture quality is really impressive, definitely the same standard as professionally developed pictures and if you use remanufactured cartridges with unbranded paper the cost works out less than going to a highstreet retailer!
The software in the printer is sufficient - you can browse a memory card by viewing thumbnails and the memory card options will cover most people with a USB cable for PC/Phone/Camera connectivity. This is a very complete photo printing solution that will meet the needs of most people.
