Sans PC printers are the ones for the future and HP doesn’t want to be left out in the lurch. They have shot back with a printer to remember not just for mere performance but for the looks and feel as well. It doesn’t follow the rest when it comes to its shape and size and is no way close to being portable.
The HP Photosmart A826 works as a standalone and I can assure you that it stands alone when it comes to mobility features. It resembles a kiosk with a 7” touch screen display. The A826’s closest competitors are none other than Canon Selphy CP740 and the Epson PictureMate Pal. It beats both of them with features that puts it way ahead of the rest.
This HP printer comes with all the bells and whistles that a class photo printer would have. The navigation guided by the touch screen is simple to use and easy to learn. It offers plenty of photo editing tools like red eye reduction, cropping and adjusting the brightness. It also lets users be creative with frames, captions, albums and much more. It is enabled with an optional Bluetooth adapter for wireless printing. It takes around 25 seconds to print a 4” X 6” photograph which is the fastest in the market today.
Priced at around £125, the A826 might sound expensive but for the looks and features it offers, it’s worth keeping one at homes. HP blogs targets the A826 towards busy moms, huh! I just think the targetted audience is lame and might not work in their favour. One thing is for sure, there is nothing motherly about the A826. On the other hand, this kiosky printer is a perfect aide for studio professionals to display the photographs before taking prints.
