HP Photosmart A636 Compact Photo Printer

(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $149

It’s not fast, but the A636 offers pretty good photo quality at an affordable price along with built-in editing capabilities.

All-in-ones are great for multitasking, but if you don’t have a home office, a dedicated photo printer might be all you need—and will definitely take up less space. Although the speeds and photo quality are both less than stellar, the $149 HP Photosmart A636 Compact Photo Printer offers good-enough performance for the money and for casual family use. And the intuitive touchscreen and in-camera editing and effects sweeten the deal. Compact Design The A636 prints 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 photos, along with 4 x 12 panorama shots and 4 x 8 photo cards. Not being able to print glossy 8x10s is the trade-off for this tiny printer. At 9.9 inches wide and 4.6 inches deep, it won’t take up much room on your desk, and for those who want to take it with them, the 3.4-pound printer sports a carrying handle attached at the top. Its rounded edges and all-black design give it a sleek look, and the glossy finish on the front and back sides are a nice touch.
