The design of my work station is such that space is at a premium. When the time came to replace my old, space hogging printer I decided to go with a smaller and more compact style. The one I ultimately chose was the HP A616 Photosmart Compact Photo Printer. This printer features:

There are a number of features I love about this printer but foremost is the the one-touch HP Photo Fix button This feature is great because it automatically removes red-eye, sharpens blurred images, and improves the overall brightness, color, and contrast of photos. Cropping, zooming, and layout changes are a breeze. For example if I was printing out pictures of various Catholic saints and wanted to add a bit of pizazz it would be a snap to adding borders and frames with this printer. At just around $100.00 this printer has been a perfect addition to my tiny workspace.
