HP A620 Photosmart Compact Photo Printer Reviews
The photos and extras like touch screen, editing, frames all were great. So I returned the printer. Way too much. Loved the unit, hated the cost per photo. The "introductory" ink cartridge printed only one photo , all in RED, So I installed the new cartridge. That puts the cost at 45cents each. However, I only got 44 4x6 photos from a $20 cartridge. I had this printer and a new cartridge sent to me while on vacation so I could print photos on the go.
I bought the HP A626 after looking at reviews from most of the other small photo printers. I already own an HP printer model 8750 and it produces very nice photos and decided to try the A626 and love it.
HP, dont bend over backwards for the customer. This was bought as a gift and for the record, it's my third HP personal printer. So whats up with a vendor like HP cheaping out on the printer cartridge in a brand new printer. This is a real shame because the printer really does work pretty well and it is a smaller footprint than the Epson. The other two came with real cartridges and this one has an "introductory" printer cartridge good for a whole 10 prints. But to buy a 140 dollar printer and then find out after the fact you need to buy a 30 dollar cartridge just to start working is inexcusable.
Also, when I printed a 4 by 6 photo w/ a border, the photo was not centered properly - the border was greater on the bottom than the top, even though the paper was aligned properly in the tray. The included cartridge with this printer only has enough ink for 10 photos.
I've bought at least 3 printers in the past, none of them HP, and they all came w/ a regular cartridge. I just used up the introductory printer cartridge and it only printed 8 of my photos before I had to throw it out.
The main reason that I'm rating it as a 2 is because it comes w/ an introductory printer cartridge, instead of a real cartridge. Actual printing time of a borderless B&W photo was 1.46 minutes, and a bordered B&W photo was 2.00 minutes.
One of the photos gets used up when you intially set up the printer - it tests the cartridge alignment. Anyone buying this printer needs to be aware that they will need to buy a printer cartridge right off the bat, in addition to buying this printer.
This printer is small, it can print directly from a usb flash drive (I haven't tried printing from other sources yet), and the photos look good (although I have only tried B&W so far). UPDATE: 10 = 8.
