Ab Work Outs: HP Photosmart D110A Wireless e-All-in-One Printer (CN731A#B1H) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE Oct 2010: I printed probably about 4 or 5 4x6 prints, and maybe 6 or 7 8x10 prints and now it's out of ink. While I'm fine with using this printer for printing snapshots for photo albums in the 4x6 size(or black and white normal documents), when you get to 8x10 size photos, I wasn't happy with the sharpness, color or detail. As I pointed out in the video review, the colors will vary widely from what you see on your monitor before printing. I do a lot of photography for fun, and over the 4x6 quality isn't up to par.

UPDATE June 2010: An Amazon staffer has informed me "I work with Amazon and wanted to confirm that the paper included with the product does not come with every printer. This was only for the trial versions." That was something I thought was so great about this particular product, but please disregard it in my video review.

I just got this HP photosmart printer and while it has some aspects of it I don't personally like, I think it will be a nice basic photo printer for those with limited computer abilities, or who just want something easy to use that's an attractive looking machine. It's all about having realistic expectations for the price point. If you have a point and shoot you use for fun, this just may be up your alley. If you're into DSLR cameras and editing photos, this might be a little lowbrow for your taste.
Pros:
- IPHONE USERS: right after finishing this review, I went app surfing, and found the motherlode. It's called HP iPrint 3.0, its fantastic and free! Printed photos instantly over wifi, I also used it with my grocery IQ app and printed coupons. Another app features is you can scan directly to your phone for emailing documents.
- Beyond easy to get started. The wireless setup was a pinch in comparison to the hassles I had connecting my brother printer wirelessly.
- scanning black and white documents and photos worked fine. Copying black and white was also as expected.
- it prints out photos fast.
- attractive and will match nicely with other HP products.
- Besides the reusable little zipper bag in my video, there was another larger one that the printer was in. Nice to have a new reusable for the grocery store, and I really admire the effort HP made with making the packaging as eco friendly as possible.
- Eprint feature is now working!

Cons:
- noisy!
- doesn't have a lot of settings you can customize to your taste directly on the printer. I like to be able to change DPI for different projects, or color contrast, choose PDF or JPG etc if needed.
- the color cartridge is just one, instead of separating into three cartridges. I printed probably about 4 or 5 4x6 prints, and maybe 6 or 7 8x10 prints and now it's out of ink.
- It's hard to tell over video, but the colors just weren't what I was hoping for. The photos I printed had more yellow/orange/green tones then the original photos. Recently I was doing my own passport renewal photo. I finally got it right and went to print. I was wearing a pink shirt, and it blew out the pink and overly saturated it. I had to change and start over because I knew that wouldn't be acceptable.
- a couple things the software installed that are unnecessary and you're not given an opportunity to pick and choose when you start the software. For instance: a weird extra internet toolbar, etc. I hate extra things that have really nothing to do with the product and are just used to shove the brand in your face, or that HP partnered with or got paid to add to sneak it in and put it on my computer.
