HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer features a 4.8-inch touch-sensitive screen - that is the largest ever built into a portable compact photo printer. The large display is excellent for viewing photos and makes it easier to navigate the printer's interface. The printer also comes with a stylus pen that allows users to personalize and edit photos with "virtual ink" by writing on the large touch-sensitive screen. In addition, consumers can personalize photos with an abundant library of over 200 creative elements including clipart graphics, frames and pre-designed album pages.It also features advanced photo editing capabilities. These include red eye removal, as well as black & white, antique, and sepia photo treatments that give photos a nostalgic feel. The additional "metallicize" and "solarize" photo enhancement options apply an abstract art look to photos. After editing and personalization, photos can be saved back onto memory cards or printed as 5x7-inch or 4x6-inch borderless prints.
Photos can simply be read from memory cards inserted into the printer's card slots, or from PictBridge compatible cameras attached to the printer. Using the optional Bluetooth adapter, photos can also be read from Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones by the printer.
