HP PhotoSmart 325 Compact Photo Printer

I have had this printer many years prior, and when my last bargain photo printer gave up the ghost I decided to return to what was best. Easy to use, excellent color and clarity, top quality for the money.

Good.unit but pricey

I got this printer in December but then in January IT STOPPED WORKING! I was bummed because I was so happy with it. I tried to get it to work everyday for about a week or two then I gave up. Now in April I decided to get another one, but before I did I wanted to see if it would work one last time and guess what?! It came to life!!!! It healed itself!!! I have no idea how?! I am so happy with it!!!!!!! Its the best thing ever!!!! NO NEED FOR THE COMPUTER!!!! But if you want to edit the pictures so they come out looking great then it comes with a stellar program!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

Very pleased with this item. I work for a nonprofit organization that deals with abused children and we are getting ready to do a fund raiser and needed the extra printer.

i didnt open this product right away, working way to much when i did open it i was very excited when i put my camer chip into the photo printer nothing but blue screen. i could not print or view my photos. is my chip compatible with the device YES!! i have the exact model but i had it a long time and will not print, but it does show the photos.thats why i purchased this one because its the perfect size. yes i know the printer was used but in the discription it said only used a few times just like new. well they lied. can i get a refund hell no its past 30 days.

LOve Love Love this printer I take it everywhere I purchased one for mohter also. I take it to my daughters class room for school projects around the holidays they love it and are going to look into purchaseing one for the class

Printer has proven to be EXCELLENT as far as I have used it. Won it in a contest, so Im not complaining. ;) I have printed out some pictures and find the quality to be EXCELLENT. The speed of printing is also fast and the printer prints BORDERLESS photos (which is a handy feature). As with any product there are a few cons. 1) Printer is a PHOTO printer. That means you wont be printing out an 8X10s; you can only print 4X6 photos (but Im expecting you know this already..) 2)Cable to hook to PC is *not* included. If you want to transfer pictures from your computer, dont expect to get a cable with your printer. The cable is sold separately. However, a flash/USB drive will work perfectly.. Just plug the USB drive into your computer, stick the pictures on it, then plug the USB drive into your printer. --------- The printer can recognize MANY different formats, SD cards, USB input devices (photo iPod, flash drive, etc..) Which is very convenient. It can also view the pictures straight from your camera (make sure its compatible, most are..) If youre looking to just print photos and want a light-weight and portable printer, this is the item for you!

My Husband was quite pleased with this photo printer as his birthday present. And I might add he is not easily pleased with gifts. The picture quality is excellant for its price, and was very easy to use. The only thing I was disapointed in was the fact that it did not come with the battery to make it more portable. I thought it was included in the package. I guess at that price thats what you get.

It works great

I was strongly considering buying this printer - until I saw my friends prints she made with it. Im usually a fan of HP but I really feel they took a step backwards with the photosmart series. The only real drawback to this printer is the fact that it only uses a tri-color cartridge. Yup, there is only cyan, magenta, and yellow. No black! The way this printer makes black (or shades of grey for that matter) is by combining all 3 colors to form a composite black. This causes the prints to seem washed out and lacking dark contrast (not to mention using a large amount of ink). If you have any sort of darkness, shading, or greys in there, they will be represented poorly. Dont believe me? Go to a local store, ask to see the examples, and compare it to other printers.
