Following up on a story about it's release and basic features on this site, here are more details and a fuller review. HP Photosmart Premium Printer
is the first touch screen printer designed by HP for the home user. It offers many applications to the home user, but they can still be viewed as a work in progress. The HP Photosmart Premium Printer
will print as a reasonable speed, outputting black and white jobs at 33 pages per minute and color jobs in 32 pages per minute maximum. It offers a reasonably small footprint, measuring 7.76" x 19.33" x 17.99", and weighs under 17 lbs.
In terms of ink, it utilizes five cartridges, all HP 564s (black, photo black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) and each offers the option of an high-capacity (XL) cartridge as well. The Photosmart Premium is both PC and Mac compatible and offers a maximum printing resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi. You can connect your PC to the printer wirelessly (via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi), with an Ethernet cable, or a USB cable. It offers direct photo printing capabilities with a variety of memory card slots (Compact Flash Type 1; Memory Stick; Memory Stick Duo; Memory Stick Pro; Memory Stick Pro Duo; Memory Stick Pro HG; Secure Digital; Secure Digital High Capacity; MultimediaCard; xD Picture Card) and a PictBridge port. It offers the same paper tray set up as it's cousin the Photosmart C8180, giving the user a dedicated photo tray nestled above it's main paper input tray. Overall, this is a nice effort from HP that needs some work. There is nothing egregiously wrong with the printer, but for less you could get most of the same functionality from the HP Officejet Pro Wireless.
