HP 335 Printer Review

For the buyer who wants easy printing of 4x6 photos without the need for a computer comes the HP Photosmart 335 color inkjet printer. Its ultra-compact design makes it extremely portable, and its output quality is impressive. Some buyers might find it limited, and printer ink is expensive, as HP 335 ink is not very cost-effective.

The design of the 335 is built not only for compactness but for portability. Measuring 8.7 inches by 4.6 inches by 4.5 inches and weighing only 2.6 pounds, it is designed to be picked up and carried around. Its portability is a very appealing feature, as it can travel to places where buyers need to print photos rather than having to bring a camera home for prints.

Memory card slots are included for getting photos into the machine, and there is a PictBridge port for connecting a camera directly. The 1.5 inch color LCD screen makes it easy to preview, edit and print using only the machine and its well-designed control panel. No computer connection is required. There is also a Bluetooth add-on which allows users to print from camera phones and other devices which support Bluetooth. The 335v and 335xi include the Bluetooth feature and battery backup options for better portability.

Portable inkjet models often have higher printer ink costs, and the 335 is no exception. HP 335 ink cartridges are very expensive, and the small capacity of Photosmart 335 ink cartridges results in a high cost per page as well. Using third-party compatible Photosmart 335 ink will help users save money, but it is still an expensive machine to operate.

The portability and excellent output quality of the HP 335 make it a great choice for the buyer who wants its basic features, but the high cost of HP 335 ink is a big tradeoff.
