Bottom line
The Epson PictureMate Dash printer is impressive in every way except for print quality.
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.
A color LCD and an optional battery pack make this Epson snapshot printer a formidable portable photo lab.
The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend $250 for a dedicated photo printer.
