"Print a picture on it in the store before you buy it."
Pros: Awesome feature set. Lots of clip art and frames. Large touch screen is great and fun to use with stylus. Funky design.
Cons: What's up with the prints it makes?
Summary: IMHO as a scrapbooker...
I sooooo would have bought this printer. It was fun using the touch screen and playing arround with all the frames and clip art. It even lets you add captions, had lots of fonts to chose from and the drawing mode was neat too. The ability to do 4x6 or 5x7 was great.
What I couldn't get over tho were the prints. The first thing I didn't like is the look of the printed photo it just looked strange. It wasn't glossy or matte. I also didn't like the preferation that is on one edge of the photo. The back of the print is fuzzy and I knew was the correct paper bc of the HP logo on it. Well I left the print untouched for about 5 min and it still was very smugeable. Then after 30m in the store. I left Best Buy and outside of the store there was a light drizzle of rain. This left tiny white spots all over the photo. It's now 5 days later and it is still smudging. Same for the print I made on the HP A626 which I also thought was awesome, just not the prints.
So I'll just stick to my Epson Dash. Too bad, like I said I really wanted to take this home.
