HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer

review

By M. David Stone

In most ways, the HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer ($179.99 direct) is only a small step up from last year's crop of dedicated photo printers from HP. But give HP credit for trying new things, because the A626 offers something new and different: a 4.8-inch touch screen that turns the A626 into a kind of mini-photo kiosk and makes it unique among small-format, portable, dedicated photo printers.

Bottom Line

The HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer adds the convenience of a touch screen to an otherwise conventional small-format photo printer.

Pros

Kiosk-style touch-screen controls. Prints 5-by-7s, 4-by-6s, and up to 4-by-12-inch panoramas. Battery option.

Cons

Although quality and speed are both respectable, both are a step down from the best available.
