Print times from the Photosmart D7100 were a little slow, even for a photo printer. HPs automatic photo fix and adaptive lighting can make good, hands-off improvements to a wide range of digital photos. However, there appears to be no support for multiple pages per sheet, nor watermark or overlay printing.īundled applications include Photosmart Premiere, which provides useful, image management and editing.
HP PHOTOSMART 7515 PRINTER REVIEWS SOFTWARE
The software suite bundled with the machine provides a well designed driver, including support for the optional duplex unit, if fitted. There’s a series of six, including light cyan and light magenta and they all plug-in easily and are held in by fold-down yolks. Setup is very straightforward, using the supplied Vivera ink tanks. Next to the paper trays at the front is a PictBridge socket for a camera cable and at the rear there’s a single USB socket for PC connection. When you choose through software or from the control panel to print photos, the photo tray is automatically drawn into the machine and rolled out again, at the end of the print job. The paper trays, which project from the front of the machine, offer simultaneous loading of up to 100 sheets of A4 paper and around 20, 10 x 15cm photo blanks. Coloured in white and two-tone grey, the printer has a fold-up, 61mm LCD display in its top, a series of well laid-out buttons for control of menus and print functions and a set of memory card readers below a curved, flip-up cover on the right. This is a substantial printer, as large as some of HP’s entry-level, all-in-one machines.
Selling at around £80, it’s surprising to see the range of facilities available. The Photosmart D7160 is one of the latest beneficiaries and has a couple of other good features as well. HP’s Vivera inks and scaleable print technology have together improved the print quality and reduced the cost of the company’s ink-jet printers.
