Would you have any interest in a portable inkjet printer that over 93% of users have been more than satisfied with? I am going to assume that the answer is ‘yes.’ That being the case, I will soon offer more details on the HP PhotoSmart 100 Portable Inkjet Printer. Before we get to the stats and features, let us first go over the price. This printer has an interesting and rare situation, which is that only used models are currently available on Amazon. This is not a bad thing. It is actually a good thing, because it means new models have sold out, which means there has been a lot of interest. This also correlates with the customer satisfaction rating. If you want a new model, you should not have to wait long; Amazon usually restocks items quickly. Used models on Amazon are currently selling for around $40. While buying used can be risky, this price takes your risk down considerably.
If you use premium photo paper with the PhotoSmart 100, prints can reach resolution as high as 2400 x 1200 dots per inch. If you do not use premium photo paper, resolution will be lower, but you will still be getting high quality prints. Borderless 4 x 6-inch photos are a possibility. And 10 cm x 15 cm photos are easy. Speaking of easy, that is what this machine is all about. Its top panel buttons are very straightforward. The PhotoSmart 100 has such a simplistic design that some people have complained. This might sound odd, but the reason for the complaint is that some feel there are not enough advanced options as far as editing and enhancing go. Of course, this should only be an issue for people who are looking for very advanced photographic options, and those people most likely would not be looking into this machine anyway.
The PhotoSmart 100 is known as a great portable inkjet printer because it is cheap, compact, light, and easy to transport. You will be able to print directly from many digital cameras, and you can even use your memory card to print an index of pictures. The only negative here is that if you have a lot of pictures on the index, it might slow the printer down. The PhotoSmart 100 allows you to save photos on your computer, allowing you to send them to family and friends via e-mail.
Hp Photo Imaging Software is one of the best aspects of the PhotoSmart 100. It is easy to use and very effective software. It adds to the whole ‘simplicity’ concept of the machine. On the other hand, there is something you should know about this printer, and it is the #1 negative for the PhotoSmart 100. A 4 x 6-inch photo will take just under three minutes to print. While the quality of this print will be excellent for a portable inkjet printer, this is still a long time to wait. If time is not a concern to you, then disregard.
The PhotoSmart 100 comes with a 1-year warranty, which can be extended to three years if you pay a small fee. This machine’s dimensions are 8.8 x 4.3 x 4.7 inches and it weighs just under 3 lbs, making it a great option as far as portable printers go. The PhotoSmart 100 is PC and Mac-compatible. It is a printer that is best suited for those interested in photo prints and simplicity.
