Mike — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:44:28 +0000

If you’re looking for a digital photo printer faster and smarter than the Canon CP 760, then the HP A526 might be your choice.

Personally, I donâ€™t like its design, but it has some extras, that deserve to be noticed. First of all, it has a thermal inkjet printing technology. This means a faster printing process. A 4×6 inch picture will be printed in 39 seconds on draft print mode and in 50 seconds on normal print mode. [...]
