When you think about printing your
own photos, you most likely have the popular sizes in mind: 4" x
6" and 5" x 7". These sizes are perfect for saving, sharing, framing,
and using in creative projects like scrapbooks. HP offers a multitude
of photo printers that print these sizes (and larger), but HP compact
photo printers are specifically designed for the job. Plus, they
make printing from anywhere a breeze! |

Flexibility
There's so much you can do with these prints. They're ideal for

albums and HP
photo books, as well as for tucking inside greeting cards. And
if you use an HP
compact printer, you can bring it along to celebrations and
share snapshots of precious moments on the spot.

The price of printing at home rivals what you'd pay at the photo
lab or retail store. And using an HP
compact photo printer and the correct paper size to begin with
means never having to cut your photos to size!
Compact photo printers start at just $99. And each comes packed
with a ton of creative
effects for embellishing your favorite pictures.

Before you start printing 4" x 6" and
5" x 7" photos, you'll need the right equipment and supplies.
Choosing a photo printer

sizes in mind. Plus, you'll get the same exceptional photo quality
as HP Photosmart desktop printers.

at home or even on-the-go, then HP's compact photo printers are
perfect. Compare
