I picked this up today from BestBuy. I honestly was not expecting a true picture quality resoultion or color; I just want a decent sticker quality for my diary. However I was shocked that the quality was so bad — like the color picture in an old newspaper front page with multiple horizontal and verical streaks. Another huge problem was that the true white and yellow printed extreme PINK. Picture seems all blown up. (i tried printing all kinds of pictures with different colors and resolutions). I tried printing black&white picture, but picture came out with partial red. I looked at different youtube reviews on this device and the pictures that got printed by other owners actually seem pretty good. So maybe, I thought my zinc photo paper was bad, so I opened a brand new zinc photo pack and I still have the same issue. Yes, I did the blue paper face down first just like HP told me to do in their homepage community threads with people complaining of red (pink) hue problems. I did all the resets too but no luck. Yes my battery green and was charged nearly full. So I must have gotten a lemon, which means HP needs some serious quality control. I am going back to the store to buy another same model since I am convinced i got a lemon. Everyone seems to say good things on their reviews. HP’s proper quality control could have prevented my inconvenience and unnecessary car gasoline and mileage.

This is great, compact printer that has worked reliably well for me. The photo quality is decent, don't expect professional quality but it isn't shabby at all. Does a very decent job and especially for the price, size and portability. Highly recommend.

Great little printer. The only flaw is the app, which you have to use to print. Often fails and has errors, including connecting to the device. That said, love the quality of the prints and the ease of use-- when it works
