You're looking at HP's best photo quality printer. What do you get for your investment?

One Of The World's Most Flexible Printers
Create high-quality 4" x 6" or letter-size photos, with or without borders and get professional-quality black-and-white photos by swapping the included HP 59 gray cartridge for the HP 56 cartridge. Save photos to your PC with the touch of a button and see it big. Preview your photos on the large, 2.5" color LCD with enhanced editing menus and then you can easily print directly from your camera memory card,there's no PC required! Easily switch paper sizes—from 4 x 6" to letter—using the built-in paper trays. And how about this: you can "catch the action" and print a montage of frames from video clips! Of course, you can e-mail favorite shots to family and friends with HP Instant Share, even put together slide shows using the included HP Memory Disc Creator software. Print stickers, wallet photos, album pages, and more using the included HP Photo & Imaging software. Prevent your photos from fading (using HP Premium Plus photo paper) for twice as long as most traditionally processed photos last
