HP PhotoSmart Premium Printer

With today’s budding photo enthusiasts like me demanding more and more out of our state-of-the-art cameras, printers need to adapt to keep up with the changing trends. This holiday season, with the hundreds of pictures all of us will be taking of our various festivities, what could be more welcome than a reliable and high-quality photo printer able to create beautiful hard copies of all our digital images. An all-in-one smart printer that proves simple enough for any member of the family to operate sounds almost too good to be true. Not only does the HP PhotoSmart Premium handle all the mundane tasks of a regular all-in-one printer (like faxing, scanning, and copying), but it also has some incredible unexpected features.

We have all been there - somehow you spend 30 minutes on the computer, but as soon as it shuts down, you realize you forgot to print one of the things you originally intended. Amazingly, HP’s new printer PhotoSmart Premium with TouchSmartWeb allows you to print what you need without having to wait for your computer to turn on again. You gotta love that! Using the touch LCD screen directly on the printer, it connects to the web through preloaded applications. Websites like Google, Coupons.com, and Mapquest are all easy to add. So, you can print off directions, a coupon, or even movietickets straight from the touchscreen on the printer. No computer needed!

Environmentally friendly, this machine reduces energy costs by 30% and saves you 50% on paper with automatic double-sided printing. Printing, faxing, copying, and scanning just received an upgrade, and will surely help make life just a bit easier for any busy mom. Plus, it retails from between $150 to $200.
