Here is a follow up to the reviews of compact printers that we recently posted. This is more of an explanation of what snapshot/compact photo printers are and how they are different from standard inkjet printers. The main benefit of these machines seems to be speed, as the quality of the prints is basically on par with photo printers. There is also obviously the convenience factor, due to the size of the machine and the fact that you don’t have to mess around with settings and different paper sizes.

They recommend the HP Photosmart 335, the Canon Selphy CP710 and the Epson PictureMate Express. Previously, the PictureMate Deluxe was also recommended, so it seems like the compact photo printers that Epson makes are usually pretty good.
