Summary: Jeff's review
Review: It is the perfect accessorie for a digital camera.You can use it with your PC or print right from a memory card. It almost turns your digital camera into a instant camera. The quality of the pictures is hard to beleive with the small size and lite weight of the printer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful pictures
Review: Just bought the HP 100 printer and love it. Have always downloaded my digital pictures through laptop to printer with excellent results, however, saw the HP 100 and thought it would be small enough to pack to take on vacation. What a picture - just as good as my HP 1220 printer at 4x6 size, even though it only prints 4x6, it's fun to take vacation pictures and immediately pass around the printed results - people are awed by the quality of such a small printer.

Summary: initially look awesome. but it fades over time.
Review: love the compactness and stylish look of this printer.
initial quality of the print out is comparable to regular photo prints or perhaps even better. compact flash drive built in is absolutely convinient.

However... after putting print picture on my friz door for 2 month. skin tone color has changed to completely green and other colors faded to dark purple. it wasn't exposed to direct sunlight neither. other pictures all suffered discoloration after 2 month. even the ones that were kept well in a frame. it was all printed on premiere papers that came with the printer.

is this the limitation of inkjet technology everyone already aknowledged prior to purchasing? or am I the only one suffering from discolorization and fade?

Summary: This is the best 4X6 printer yet!!!!!!
Review: Photosmart 100 is brilliant, it has 2400X1200 resolution, but there is a new printer Photosmart 130. The price is THE SAME. Photosmart 130 can do much sharper pictures 4800X1200, and it can read 4 king of cards. It's print speed is a little paster. (full page for 2 minuter). And The gratest thing about it is that ink can be refilled [very inexpensively] and the quality stays the same. HP says that it is not recomended to refill the cartrege blablabla.... But i gave it a try and for [money] I could refill it 12 times.(I had to buy a new ink cartrage after 5 refills.) The quality stayd the same. It is 100% the same. I gave it to a friend he could not tell the difference, so did I. I saved [money] every time I refilled. Cartrege price is [money], but refill price is [money]. The quality is great and with each refill i could print about 90-100 pictures. and the quality of pictures is great.You don't have to buy a wire for [more money], to print it from computer, you can just load imagis from digital camera to computer, and then from computer back to digital camera, and print without connecting printer back to computer... Cool photos. The best 4X6 in the world.

Summary: Fast and easy
Review: The new product development team at HP really did a good job on this one! VERY nice pictures....as good as any other photoprinter that I have seen. VERY easy to use either with the computer or as a standalone and printing off your memory card.
Great software package that you'll actually use !

I have a number of photo quality printers and I find myself printing 4x6 prints 99% of the time and this printer really is easy to use... no fusing with paper size, print size etc.

Pros:
+Easy to use
+Great picture quality
+Can be used with or without a computer (a feature I am using a lot more than I thought I would !)
+Uses only 1 printer cartridge and 1 size paper (4x6)...keeps things simple !

Negatives:
- HP print longevity (lightfastness). You will need to send your prints out to a commercial service like Ofoto if you want to put them in a long term album. Prints will fade in a few years...fine if your just showing them around the office and rotating them through your frames etc. This is a problem with ALL inkjet printers, not just HP. Some claim longer "lightfastness" (like Epson) but only time will tell ! Note: I have some HP prints on my office wall that are almost 5 years old with no fading...so ????

Bottom Line:GET IT ! If you want a quick way to print 4x6 prints from your digital camera to show your friends around the office and send to relatives (who really don't keep those pics of your kids that long anyway !) the P100 is the ticket. You'll find yourself printing off your data card (vs. the computer) a lot more than you think you will ! Excellent quality prints that beat the 1 hour print.

Summary: I LOVE IT.
Review: The Photo Smart 100 is easy to set up, Easy to use, Works well with both my computer and Memory cards. It makes wonderful 4 x 6 prints. I cannot tell the difference between the HP Photo Smart 100 prints (From my digital camera) and the ones I get back from the photo lab (from my 35 Millimeter SLR). The software that comes with it is good as well. I am very satisfied with this product.

Summary: initially look awesome. but it fades over time.
Review: The picture quality is supreme, and no complaints about the printer overall, except for the ink door, which won't stay shut.

The photopaper used on this printer, however, can be easily damaged, so care must be taken on handling it after your pictures are printed. Perhaps I'll find a 3rd party paper, or HP will improve theirs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Produces great pictures, but be careful about handling them
