HP Photosmart 230 Color Inkjet Printer – This advanced machine lets you preview photos before before you print using the color LCD display. Simply select color, size and Format and print borderless 4x6-inch photos in brilliant color. Print directly from your Digital camera Memory card – no PC required. And it's so compact you can take it to parties and events for instant fun you can share.
Small size so that it can be taken anywhere and have instant snapshot photos. This is very handy to travel with only a digital camera and the printer. Very easy to set up and use with memory cards. The color LCD screen works great and print quality is what you would expect... not quite lab quality but very good. The photo ink cartridge seems to last for close to 100 photos which I felt was very good value. Intuitive control buttons with zoom, borders and minor image correction.

This has got to be the easiest printer to set up and use. Came in the door by UPS at 7:30 pm and I had my first picture printed at 8:15 pm the same night. I used the enclosed sample photo paper and was very impressed with the quality of the photograph, excellent color, very true to life. It's wonderful to be able to preview your pictures before printing with the 230 and you even have the option of zooming in or out, cropping, or even adjusting the brightness if you like. The directions are concise and very, very easy to understand (no fancy technical terms, just plain English).
I don't have a lot of spare room on my desk and this printer just fits the bill, takes up very little space.
When I purchased the printer, I also purchased the optional carrying case to transport it in. I'm now thinking of buying the dc power adapter so that I can print out pictures when not close to a power supply. This is a great photo printer and I'm going to have such fun using it.
