Small photo printers bring digital images to life
Justin Yu,

Who said that printers have to live at home, lonely and collecting dust while you're out having fun? These mobile printers are designed to be unplugged and taken on the go. They connect directly to a digital camera without the use of a computer and even have memory card slots built-in to the front. Blank paper packs with postcards, stickers, and greeting cards are available and some of them even let you get creative and add custom layouts and fun designs to your photos. These fun little printers are the ideal companion to your next birthday party, office event, or family gathering.

| The Bottom Line | The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the wireless accessories aren't included. If you're shopping for a convenient travel-friendly printer, check out the Canon Selphy CP760 that offers the exact same technology with a similar style for a better price. | The HP Photosmart A636 is an excellent at-home photo inkjet printer that's both versatile and easy to use. We highly recommend the A636 for its significant photo quality improvements over the last model and an attractive design to boot. | The Canon Selphy CP760 takes the pain out of printing photos with its plug-and-play design and straightforward usability, and the $100 price tag makes it an excellent companion printer for quick prints in the home. | HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker. |
