Experience sharing is a touch away with the new HP Photosmart printers

BÖBLINGEN, Germany, September 2009, 10 - HP Photosmart printers with HP TouchSmart touch technology introduced today bring fast, easy and enjoyable printing to everyone in the family. The latest members of the HP Photosmart series are the HP Photosmart C4680, the HP Photosmart and HP Photosmart with Wireless, the HP Photosmart Plus and the HP Photosmart Premium.

HP puts printing at the heart of family life, as HP Photosmart Printers offer every family member an exciting printing experience. The printer is thus no longer simply a functional device, but a fun and creative platform that everyone in the family can use. With the unique TouchSmart technology, even the smallest ones can print their photos or games on their own, without the need for a PC or notebook. Use shortcuts (such as the QuickForm button on the TouchSmart screen) to create creative and fun printing projects for your family.

One touch

The system easily prints homework, pictures and work documents with a single touch. The HP Photosmart Series prints lab-quality images and vibrant colors as standard, so family members can share unforgettable moments in their lives in a way that was previously unimaginable. With a built-in memory card slot and HP TouchSmart screen, you can navigate, select from photo collections, and automatically correct red-eye, brightness, and color. They can take pictures of impeccable quality quickly and easily.

Easy use

HP Photosmart printers with rich functionality are also easy to set up and use.

Their main features:

With the HP Photo Print Gadget, you can drag and drop photos between desktop icons from almost anywhere (folder, application, email, or website). The software intelligently edits and cuts images to fit your photo paper - making photo editing and printing a much smoother and more enjoyable task.

HP Smart Web Printing saves ink and paper by placing multiple web pages on one printed page, so the user does not have to print unnecessary parts of the web.

Many of the new HP Photosmart printers have built-in wireless features. These systems - HP Photosmart with Wireless, HP Photosmart Plus and HP Photosmart Premium - provide flexible printing for the whole family anywhere in the house. Their one-button wireless connection makes it easier than ever to connect your printer to your home network.

Apple iPhone ™ or iPod touch ™ users can print wirelessly with the unique HP iPrint Photo app, which can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store. (1)

HP Photosmart C4680

With the versatile and easy-to-use HP Photosmart C4680 printing system, scanning, copying and printing at home are simple and convenient. Viewing and printing photos, websites, and everyday documents is a breeze on the HP TouchSmart color display.

The HP TouchSmart frame is a 3,7 cm color display with touch buttons on the left and right for easy navigation of the printing process. The device's Integrated Print Head (IPH) guarantees reliable, optimal print quality.

HP Photosmart and HP Photosmart with Wireless

The compact HP Photosmart also features the TouchSmart bezel, which simplifies navigation with controls on the right and left of the screen and supports viewing, printing, copying and scanning photos and documents without a PC with a 3,7cm color display. The HP Photosmart with Wireless has excellent wireless functionality in addition to the features of the HP Photosmart.

Both devices work with HP 364 series ink cartridges (four separate cartridges). The cartridges' "dual drop volume" technology provides exceptional image detail - with laser-quality text and vivid color images.

HP Photosmart Plus

The HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One is a complete printing, scanning and copying solution that allows home users to print their photos, web content and everyday documents wirelessly. The printer's full-featured 6,1cm screen lets you conveniently view, edit and print photos - without having to turn on your PC.

The printer uses HP 364 series ink cartridges (four individual cartridges) that produce high-quality text and color images. Prints dry quickly, do not stain and are highly waterproof. The new ink was optimized for porous photo paper.

HP Photosmart Premium

With a large 8,9cm TouchSmart screen, the HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One takes comfort and simplification to the next level. Users can view, edit, and print lab-quality photos stored in their online Snapfish (3) albums directly from the device screen. The HP Photosmart Premium provides built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Ethernet capabilities for laptops, PCs and mobile devices.

With the HP Photosmart Premium's integrated duplex feature, you can reduce paper consumption and costs by printing two pages on one sheet. This printer also works with HP 364 series ink cartridges and uses five individual cartridges (including HP 364 Photo Black and optional XL cartridges) for perfect photo quality. The HP Photosmart Series products make printing affordable for everyone in the family.

Designed with the environment in mind, ENERGY STAR® qualified multifunction devices offer more than 25 percent energy savings over previous models and also have paper-saving options (such as two-sided printing).

High quality printing and high performance

The HP Photosmart C4680 is compatible with high-quality, long-lasting HP 300 / 300XL black and tri-color (cyan, magenta and yellow) color ink cartridges. For added cost awareness, your user can also purchase the HP 300 Starter Photo Pack.

HP Photosmart Wireless, HP Photosmart Plus, and HP Photosmart Premium printers work with HP 364 series ink cartridges. Depending on your printing needs and budget, the user can choose between standard or XL cartridges and an affordable Photo Value Pack.

The HP 364 Series Photo Pack includes all the supplies you need to print: 100 sheets of (10 × 15 cm, glossy) HP Advanced Photo Paper and three customized HP 364 Ink Cartridges (cyan, magenta, and yellow).

New packaging

Like HP supplies, the packaging of printers has changed. The devices come in a sleek black box with vivid images and easy-to-understand icons - a great fit with the design already introduced in HP desktop and notebook packaging. The unified look makes it easy for customers to identify HP products in retail units.
