I love being able to print (almost) lab-quality photos whenever I want. I brought this compact printer to a wedding and was able to give the couple a stack of prints at the post-wedding brunch. They were ecstatic to have a tangible keepsake so quickly. The print quality is good, though the color saturation isn't great. But it's quick and easy. The only caveat is that if you print in a dusty (or in my case, pet hairy) area, print flaws can occur due to the paper being fed through multiple print passes.Yes, it's wasteful compared to inkjets and the price per print is higher, but the convenience and portability make it worthwhile to me.
