this is NOT a substitute for kodak services if that's your bag, but for at-home creativeness and family album fun this can not be beat. install the OSX driver and off you go into iPhoto-land printing all your pictures using all sorts of themes from within iPhoto. if you are a mac user, this is a great deal for a darn good dye sub printer. i like to use it with "Comic Life" to add captions and make postcards. my fave tho' is the tried and true simple white edged border. it also does edge to edge no problem. it is too much fun, low hassle, and creates great looking prints. so when you are ready to toss the ink jet out the window in frustration, for postcard size prints, check out this little unit.
Its printing quality is as good as those kiosk from the department store. I bought it pre-owned and in a great condition, with no manual (I still do not know how to use all the way) I didn't know prior to acquiring this product that it only takes sony printing sheets and that they are so difficult to find and expensive to buy. Its printing quality deserves an A+
I've been an avid amateur photographer for over 20 years, and I can tell you the prints from this printer are top notch and lab quality. I have not noticed, as some have, that any color is particularly bright or vivid. The color rendition is extemely accurate so long as you properly load the Sony printer driver. Those of you who get unexpected results may because of the quality or calibration of your computer monitor. The price per print is a little hefty, around $0.65 per print if your buy the larger 75 print kit, but of course you only print the ones you really like. Be advised that Sony does not include in the box any starter print cartridge or paper in the box, so you must buy these separatly.
You can edit your pics right on your television then print. The print quality is awesome, I am using a Sony Cybershot 5 megapixel camera. It has many editing features as well. I took it out of the box and loaded the paper, cartridge and memory stick and started printing right away. It has so many features. My only concern is that it does't come with a USB cable, but that can always be purchased at a later time. Overall, this is an excellent photo printer.
pictures look real this printer is excellant
