When it comes to printing your digital photos, there are many options to choose from. Printing at home from your memory card is one of the simplest ways to get high-quality, hassle-free photos.

  • It's fast and easy

    Simply insert your camera's memory card into the appropriate card slot, and start printing! There's no need to waste time starting up your computer, launching photo software, or transferring your photos to your PC from your camera before printing.

  • It makes editing a breeze

    HP photo printers and All-in-Ones save you time with special features for editing and enhancing your photos right on the printer. View your pictures using the printer's image display, choose your favorites, then crop, adjust brightness, or remove red-eye at the touch of a button.

  • It's affordable

    With HP, you can create 4" x 6" prints at home for as little as 24 cents each*. Print 5" x 7" photos for as little as 49 cents each*, and 8" x10" for as little as $1.49 each*.

*Special offers with purchase of certain HP Photo Value Packs. Prices may vary.
