We wanted the zoom and missed the fact that this one does not have the zoom. The reason I give two stars is because of Beach Camera's return policy. They grudgingly allowed me to return it, as a one-time courtesy with a restocking fee. I wish Amazon would tag the vendors so we could easily see if we were buying from this type of company.

Amazing photos!.......2007-01-28

I've used the HP A516 Compact Photo Printer for about a month now. I got it on sale at Christmas for $50. What a great deal! A few things to note:

1. The best photo paper to use with this is the HP Advanced Photo Paper. I bought some HP Premium Plus photo paper thinking that since it was more expensive, the print quality ought to be better. However, this was not so! Apparently, the Vivera ink is specially formulated to print on the HP Advanced Paper, which produces even-quality laydown of the ink, with no defined edges between different colors in the photo. The HP Premium Plus photo paper showed a defined edge in the blank ink, giving it a "home-printed" look to the photo. The HP Advanced paper produced photo-lab quality prints that looked awesome!

2. If you edit or crop any photos in Photoshop before you print it out, you should save the file in the "Baseline (Standard)" format, otherwise the printer will not recognize the "optimized" file type.

3. Buy the ink cartridges and paper directly from the HP site to save money. They often have great deals on the ink -- Buy-One-Get-One Free or some other gimick. I managed to buy paper and ink at a price so that it costs me about $0.29 per print (ink+paper costs).

Pros:
- The 4x6 photos are truly borderless! You can't tell that the prints come off of an inkjet-type printer.

- The photos can be printed off with 1 photo per page, or the more fun features -- 2 or 4 photos per page! You can choose the same pictures for all 4 wallet-sized photos, or choose 4 different photos to print at that size.

- You can also print any frame of a mpeg (video) on the printer with ease. Just play the video file and stop it at the frame you want printed. It's easy! The only thing is that the resolution quality is lower, but it looks pretty good for a video shot. (This could be improved with other cameras, but this is what I noticed from my Canon SD630)

- Instant photos! This little printer prints rather quickly and with the HP Advanced quick-drying paper, the photos are ready for handling in a jiffy!

- The printer is truly compact. It is really cute, and can be placed anywhere without taking up much space.

Great Deal!.......2007-01-24

I was shopping at a local circuit city and saw this wonder thing on sale....unfortunately they were sold out....so i looked online and found it also on sale for less than ciruit city on amazon....This klinched it...it was a great deal! After receiving it, I printed pictures from my laptop and from my new fujitsu camera....It did a wonderful job on both and was very simple to setup...No more going to a digital kiosk for prints that were sometime questionable...

I was impressed........2007-01-20

I really like my little printer. For the price I paid I was very impressed with what I received. The photo screen doesn't raise but that didn't matter to me, if you just want a good 4x6 photo printer without all the bells and whistles, I recommend this one.

Photo Printer is the best !.......2007-01-20
