HP released two new portables and one desktop printer today, all within the Photosmart line of photo-ready printers. With summer in full swing, HP lets you grab your digicam and a camera to print on the run. Let's take a closer look at these new offerings:

  • Photosmart A530: $99, A refresh from last year's Photosmart A526. This time around, it features a bright 2.4-inch color display, 27-seconds-per-photo reported print speed, and the option to print wireless with their Bluetooth adapter.
  • Photosmart A630: $149, 4.8 inch touchscreen, 5x7 inch max print size, touch-screen keyboard and stylus for creative elements that include colorful borders, frames, clip art, captions, and drawings.
  • Photosmart D5460: $100, five-ink cartridge bay, 1.5 inch color display, 31 color pages per minute, up to 9,600 x 2,400 dpi color on HP's Premium Photo Paper

  • Both portable printers have a pop-up handle and a paper input tray that folds up for easy travel. We're happy to see that they've improved on the Photosmart A526 by adding on screen editing and a ton of options for individual picture customization. The Photosmart A560 and A630 will be available in August; the Photosmart D5460 is available now.
