Although its 5.5-pound load is easy to manage, the plastic parts used to achieve that weight feel fragile. One knock from a kid on a sugar rush could put this portable out of commission. On the plus side, the cables come with Velcro wraps—a good way to keep wires in check for traveling."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20050713_2012111.gif" /><br /><br />These standalone printers come with memory card and USB slots. Plug in the camera or a card, and you’ve got your own mini photofinishing shop in any room with an AC outlet. Or, in the case of the Epson, buy an optional rechargeable battery, and you can print anywhere.

Two other notes. You can get the print packs if you look around for $20 bringing the per price print down to 20 cents per, which is just aobut the cheapest around. Also, much easier for my wife to use from the computer because you just select the printer and print. No need to go into the properties changing the print level and paper type, and no physically changing the paper etc. It has made a great 2nd printer to idiot proof printing pictures.
