This rather pricey, photo-direct printer is one of the most versatile desktop printers offered by Hewlett Packard. It prints super-high-quality documents and photos directly from memory cards,. The LCD display located on the printer allows you to manage the printer without having to turn on the computer. The HP 1315 comes with some excellent photo software that allows you to design photo albums, crop pictures, create b&w photos out of color photos, and even email your photos to friends. All the features packed in this printer are probably what drove the cost up. Nevertheless, if you’re serious about printing photos, this is an excellent option. The HP 1315 offers 2400 X 1200 dpi color resolution and prints at speeds of 13 pages per minute in color (17 pages per minute in black). Our recommendation on this printer is “BUY” – but only if you can afford to shell out a minimum of $400.
