Although Hewlett-Packard does offer a number of digital cameras, where they truly shine is in the manufacture of photo printers. Digital photography has truly revolutionized the way we take pictures. In the past, consumers would have to take their film to a lab, wait for the results, and live with whatever was given to them. Today, thanks to products such as the HP Photosmart 7760, consumers are their own lab.

When purchasing a photo printer for home use, there is one stat that is more important than any other: dpi. Resolution is key to the production of a crisp picture and the more dots per inch, the greater resolution you will get. Of course, in order to fully take advantage of your HP Photosmart printer's capabilities, it is necessary to always use high quality photo paper, thus ensuring the glossy or matte finish you would get from a professional lab.

Hewlett-Packard understands that consumers expect more than just a printer from them. To that end, their line of Photosmart printers also includes a number of useful options designed to improve the overall quality of your pictures--even at this final stage. For example, HP's Real Life technology helps eliminate red eye and bring out the details in overly shadowed areas. Want your pictures to have the vintage look? No need to fiddle with complex photo software; simply pop in an HP 100 Gray photo inkjet cartridge and the effect is immediate.

Most importantly, HP Photosmart printers are designed to be both convenient and easy to use. Depending on the model you choose, pictures can take as little as 30 seconds to print, if not faster. Through their PictBridge system, users can connect their camera (or whatever device their pictures are located on whether PDA, computer or camera phone) directly to the printer for fast and direct printing.
