Create a photo printing station at home

Printing photos is more convenient–and more fun–when you have a dedicated space.

Having a dedicated place in your home to print photos makes printing and sharing pictures easier! Here are just a few benefits:

• Saves time. If you have all your supplies in your dedicated space, you won't be searching for the right photo paper or ink. It's all within arms' reach.
• Inspires you to print more often. May also inspire creativity in other areas of life.
• You'll share more. (Friends and family may even reciprocate by sharing more pictures with you!)

You could even create a home photo printing station in your kitchen!

Creating a productive space is all about tailoring it to your needs. But there are some basic elements you should consider:

• Dedicated area. This doesn't have to be near your computer since most HP Photosmart printers are wireless and can print without a PC.
• Lighting that allows you to see what you're doing.
• Proper equipment and accessories.
• Proper supplies at hand (photo papers, ink, stamps, photo mailers, etc.).
• Comfort for printing and working (a desk or table with space, an ergonomic chair, etc.).

Set up a system for sharing pictures.

An efficient setup is all about access and speed–quick in, quick out.

• Keep your photo space separate—don't use it as a dumping ground for everything from junk mail to office papers to homework. Set up a clear system to ensure that every paper has its place.
• Zone your photography work space with separate places for your printing supplies, printed pictures, discs, and accessories like memory cards and cords.

Stay inspired and motivated by displaying your favorite photo prints within your printing space.

Inspire yourself by using your own masterpieces to decorate your photo printing space.

• Put the walls to work. Use cork or magnet boards to display your favorite pictures.
• Showcase your work on a large scale. Use an HP wide-format printer, like the HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format Printer, to make a 13" x 19" print.
• Add a digital photo frame to your space.
