i got this printer to start a photo studio in my house, and i live out of te city and all the people i took a picture, are happy whit it. i am workin whit this printer so, i tink is one of the best i have. also have lexmark 6170 all in one and works great too. the ink last me a lot. have more than 100 shots and still almost at half. i sold all the pict. and share whit some family , all are in love whit this printer. another thing. i dont use glossy paper. starting using ferrania profesional satin is the best paper for photos. try ferrania and youll remember me.

Great for novices and travellers
The printer is highly suitable for non-PC environments and for those on the go. The HP Photosmart 130's affordable price, support for the main digicam storage media, "no-brainer" operation and quality output also make it a good buy for novice and intermediate digital camera users who are looking for a photo printer. Good Printer for the Price
Considering that this is an older model from HP (HP discontinued this model and suggest to buy Photosmart 145 as an alternative), this is a good printer. It does pretty well what it promises to do - print quality 4x6 photos. The printer is easy to set up and easy to use. It accepts different types of digital memory cards and is pretty fast in printing - less than 30 seconds to print one photo. The quality of the prints is as good as regular camera prints - your friends wouldn't tell the difference unless you tell them. The one inconvenience with this printer is the non-availability of print preview facility on the printer - you have to note down the serial number of the image (by viewing on the camera) before inserting the digital memory card into the printer. Overall, this is a good printer for the price you get it. ... Read more

Not Bad, Works Fine for Basic Prints
I don't have high expectations for this type of printer, one that you can put a flash card in and print the photo without a computer.Most often, photos will need some sort of tweaking, of white balance, of color, of something. This little printer does fine with the basics. It has some editing capabilties, not as many as I'd like, but for the price, it's just fine. I wanted the printer to use at some of our fundraising events, to take pictures of people with their dogs, print out a 4x6, give them the print, and go on to the next on-- This will work fine for that, and allow us to run this with only one person, if necessary, since the computer isn't involved. Battery is a huge plus.
Does not work out of the box
I am an IT professional (BSIT) and I bought this product because it is rated #1 by Consumer Reports and I own several HP printers that I really enjoy. However, I had the same experience as several other reviewers of this product. This printer simply does not work out of the box. After trying for 1 day I gave up and called HP customer service and they diagnosed the problem as a defective chip in the printer. They wanted to replace the printer with a refurbished one; I refused and threatened to return it back to Amazon. I was placed on hold and then told that I would receive a firmware upgrade via FedEx overnight. If this upgrade does not work I will be forced to return the printer to Amazon.

would like to give it 5 stars, but does not work
Unfortunately, this machine does not work yet. Rather than hassle the return centers and all that, I am electing to take it to Olympus, down the street from me, and pay to have it fixed. Hopefully I can then update this review.

Amazing printer
This printer is amazing in its output. It is functionally equivalent to the P-440, which is newer.
Simply Amazing!
Got this printer for $199 new (plus tax).This is the only printer I have ever used that literally is plug and play.No tweaks or fiddling with settings (though the option to do that is available).Right out of the box it prints so good you'd think you were in a Kodak or Fuji lab.I've shot photos with Lumix LC5 and Lumix FZ20 and the prints are spectacular.The trickiest part was loading in the new film, after using up the sample film that came pre-loaded.It took a couple minutes to read the directions.Someone else commented about this and gave the printer a "1" rating.Big deal.After you install the film once, you've got the idea.

connector incompatible with PC USB port
Print quality is good. But the cables come with printer can only connect to Canon digital cameras (I tried poershot and EOS 10D), it cannot connect to PC UBS ports, though it looks like UBS connector. So, there is no way you can print a picture to cp-x00 from a PC. Great picture quality!
I have been very pleased with this printer.So long as your resolution is set very high on your camera your pictures will be as good as lab quality! Excellent Quality Photos
This is an excellent little printer.The quality of the images produced is great. Just as good as traditional film developed photos.It's easy to setup & use either directly from my camcorder or via my computers(with the appropriate accessory CCK-CP200).This is my first experience with a dye sublimation printer & I can tell you the quality of the images produced far surpasses most inkjet printers.The only drawbacks about this printer is it only prints small sizes 4 x 6's & Wallet size 2 x 3's.There is a 3.5" x 5" size but its only available overseas. The paper/ink packs are not easy to find other than online & their not cheap.36 - 4" x 6" prints will run about [money],Wallets about [money].Overall however this is a great printer which I enjoy using. ...

Bad, bad, bad
I used this printer twice and kept getting "paper jam" although there was no paper in the printer.Had to send the product back.Wouldn't buy another.

Good bargain, good pictures
Since I got my digital camera I'd just been saving everything to CD and not printing anything out because printing through a website gets so expensive!I'd rather just have my own little printer, as long as the prints are good.The prints from this are great, and although they smudge if you don't allow them enough time to dry, they are good quality.I can't speak to fading yet, because I've only had it a month, but so far so good!

Does the job as described.
I bought both the HP Photosmart 230 and the Sony DPP-EX5 and both produced a high quality picture.About 98% as good as developed from a service on kodak paper.The 2% represents the finish (which is a bit sticky till it dries) and some pictures come out a hair light (which is actually a good thing if your pics come out dark).Either printer would do the job, I settled on the HP for the name and choices of paper and easy access to many accessories.You won't be disappointed with the results of the printer.It is worth the money. ...

One nice print
I was looking for a low priced 4 x 6 portable printer that I could take with me and have ability to leave sample pictures wherever I was visiting. My first chance to show it off was a recent family reunion. The first picture was very good and printed to edges as advertised. Of course several relatives now wanted copies. The next print was about 1/2 inch short on one edge. That was the last print because an error message to fix paper jam (none existed) kept coming up preventing any further prints. The printer was returned today.

Great little printer
Great little photo printer. Prints like a photo lab. Get your ink online from Costco for 1/2 price.

SHOCKED
DS700 PRINTED GOOD PICTURES TILL THE INK TANK RAN OUT AFTER 25 PICTURES. CANON ESTORE WAS THE ONLY PLACE TO FIND THESE VERY EXPENSIVE LITTLE TANKS (22.95 PLUS 7.99 SHIPPING) WISHED I BOUGHT THE HP PRINTER INSTEAD. ... Read more

Perfect
I've been an avid amateur photographer for over 20 years, and I can tell you the prints from this printer are top notch and lab quality.
Love this printer!!!
The print quality is awesome, I am using a Sony Cybershot 5 megapixel camera. I took it out of the box and loaded the paper, cartridge and memory stick and started printing right away! It has so many features. You can edit your pics right on your television then print. It has many editing features as well! My only concern is that it does't come with a USB cable, but that can always be purchased at a later time. Overall, this is an excellent photo printer.

You may never again have to wait for photo processing. Sony's snapshot photo printer prints directly from your digital camera; no PC is required. Simply insert Memory Stick media (or other removable flash media with an optional PC card adapter) to view, adjust, and print pictures all by yourself. Slide Show mode allows you to flick right through your saved images, selecting only the best for printing; once this is accomplished, chose from economical 3-by-4.5-inch or professional-looking borderless 4-by-6-inch prints. Each one takes just 90 seconds and features outstandingly vivid color and precise detail.Read more

Features

• High-speed digital photo printer
• Produces a 4-by 6-inch print in 90 seconds

Mac Users Avoid This Product!!!!
I used this printer for quite some time with my Pismo running OS 9.2. When I purchased a Powerbook G4 running OS X, this printer was obsolete, i.e. no drivers available. Sony was absolutely not interested in making a driver for this printer and could not care less about the customer STUCK with this pathetic piece of equipment.
Some hints for getting the best output
This printer produces impressive output, although the colors have a little too much magenta. The resolution is specified as 403 dpi but to get a 1:1 pixel mapping from (say) photoshop you need to set the image resolution to 403.66 dpi.
A great printer but for lack of a driver
I was delighted when my then-new Sony Digital Photo Printer DPP-SV77 worked on my Mac as advertised: bright, true colours printing in a reasonable amount of time...but when I upgraded to Mac OS X from OS 9.2.2, can you imagine how I felt when I discovered that Sony DOES NOT provide a printer driver for any version of OS X? I am unable to coax it to print in Classic (OS X's emulator for OS 9.x), and so the printer now lies in state on my desktop.Read more

Great Little Printing Machine
I bought the Sony Digital Photo Printer (DPP-SV77) about a year ago with the intention of using it for all my worth the money if you don't want to mess with a PC
We bought the DPP-SV77 because we recently had twins and wanted to make photos available immediately for friends and family. Our printer for our PC just wasn't up to the job. This printer has some legitimate problems but does a credible job if you don't mind some oversaturation on your color prints. The machine tends to put way too much red in photographs especially caucasian skin tones. Where the machine really shines is the black and white mode. Beautiful pictures! Great contrast, and an accurate grey scale. I also really like the ability to make wallet size prints. The manual is pretty exhaustive, to be honest I never read it. We use a sony digital camera with memory stick so compatibility is smooth and effortless. The controls are very intuitive and I found that while the flip up monitor wasn't terribly bright and often misleading (some menus are difficult to read, the colors on the monitor don't reflect your end result) it was still nice not needing to be hooked up to a PC. Overall, it was worth the money for us, it does what we wanted it to do. However, because of the color "problem" and the fact that there is a finite size you can make a print (4 X 6) if I take some really good color pictures that I want to blow up or frame I'll be taking my business to a professional printer.

Glorious prints, implementation a bit clunky
I bought the DPP-SV77 because I wanted a way to take my digicam media (CompactFlash) directly from the camera and make prints without using a PC. While the DPP can be connected to a computer, the built-in LCD makes this really unnecessary.Read more

• Easy one-touch printing for real Kodak quality photos

Flaky paper handling
I got this printer, together with the Kodak Easyshare C340 camera.
Kodak easyshare printer dock
This is the second printer dock I have purchased in a little over a year.The first one gave me problems in that the message to replace paper occured while there was still plenty of paper in the tray.It finally stopped, would not grab the paper any longer. I replaced it with a new one, but my camera would not fit on the dock, and I had to call Kodak and purchase an adaptor for about $15.00 plus shipping. It seems to be working alright, although I have not had a chance to really put it to the test of multiple prints.I am keeping my fingers crossed, because I really like the concept of immediately printing my pictures.

Supreme!
This printer dock is so easy to use it's unbelievable!Anyone can use it, even me, a 14 year old beginer with cameras.With just one push of a button, you get quality photos in an instant.The only problem I have with it is that it takes me a long time to get the printer to accept my paper.I always get an error message that I don't have paper in the dock, which, as I personally see, is in fact, there.Other than that, this printer is wonderful, and I would definitly reccomend it to anyone buying a photo-printer.Because its quick, easy, and develops quality color (and black and white, too!) pictures, it deserves an A! ...

Great for printing high quality pics if you're not in a rush
I got this for my birthday from my boyfriend. I had already had gotten a Kodak easyshare camera from him so this was a great little gadget for me to own. I tried it out the first time months ago and it worked great. It printed out high-quality pictures. Even today, it is still working great and I couldn't believe how easy it was to print pictures from the computer. The only bad thing about it is that it takes a looong time to print. You'll be sitting watching the paper feed through at least 4 times before it completes printing. And buying the printer cartridge and paper can add up after a while.
Cool little machine!
I wanted a digital camera, but I don't have a computer, nor do I plan on getting one any time soon.Also, I'm lazy, so taking my camera to a store to develope pictures seemed like alot of hassle.So, this little gadget has worked out pretty well for me so far.
Enjoying a "printing lab" in my room
Yesterday I purchased the Kodak printer dock 6000 to go along with my Kodak Cx6330 digital camera. So far I am very pleased. The first thing I noticed about this printer dock is the size. It's small enough to sit on my little desk with extra room. Secondly, it was a breeze to set up. It took, at most, 10 minutes. Make sure you have you custom insert handy in case the universal insert is not to your liking.
