he HP Photosmart A516 has been released, for a start HP are saying this printer offers nearly waterproof output, which in fairness I can’t say works or not as I didnt try it. Anyway the A516 can print from most memory cards as well as PictBridge cameras and computers.
The LCD screen is 1.5 inches, and is set at a fixed angle so you may have to move the printer to see it well. We all know to well it’s still a big improvement over not having an LCD at all, which is what you usually get at this price level.
The LCD allows you to preview photos on the display and if needed correct red eye, sharpness, and color with the convenient HP Photo Fix button. Prints are Print 4 x 6. The Print speed is a little slow, but within the typical range for small-format photo printers.
