The HP Photosmart A716 is a top-of-the-line compact printer that marks the pinnacle in quality and portability. Whether you are a photo hobbyist in need of instant photo gratification, or simply trying to cut down on the oftentimes high cost of photo development, the HP Photosmart A716 gives both, combining hard-to-beat cost-efficiency with impressive quality.


The HP Photosmart A716 has come a long way from its predecessors, improving upon its controls and adding a 2.5 inch LCD screen and remote control, which allows for PC-free editing and convenient printing.


Experts like the HP Photosmart A716 for the quality of its prints. In many cases, the convenience of a compact printer or photo-only printer comes at the expense of photo quality and longevity. Not so with the HP Photosmart A716, whose improvements in dpi (drops of ink per inch) resolution, and attention to water and age resistance, have removed nearly all of the risk of compact printer and photo-only printer purchases. Users love the portability of the HP Photosmart A716. It makes an attractive fixture on any desktop, but also makes an excellent companion on vacation.


With so many strengths at such an affordable price, the HP Photosmart A716 prompts a very important question: what are you waiting for?
