HP Photo smart Premium Touch Smart Web




The good:
 Printer ships in recyclable bags; new design reflects present aesthetic; comprehensive driver features; separate photo and paper trays automatically select the right size for the job.

The bad:
Onscreen apps take a long time to access and feel gimmicky; lacks auto document feeder; slow response from touch screen; applications have a tendency to freeze up; small scanner bed.

The bottom line:

Aside from the boundless name, the HP Photo smart Premium Touch Smart Web All-in-One Printer looks good and prints high-quality photos at competitive speeds.

We also are glad about the effort put into the downloadable applications for the interactive touch screen, but the innovation is offset by a hefty price tag.

Unless Web connectivity and touch screens are a top priority, we recommend checking out HP's other multifunction printers, which still offer high performance but at a much lower cost.
