Fast Photos From Little Printers

摘要

Digital photo printers are following the lead of digital cameras: They're getting smaller, simpler and cheaper. A new breed of $200 portable photo printers has emerged to produce 4-by-6-inch color prints directly from digital cameras. One printer even touts itself with three of the sweetest words in the technology universe: "No computer required." Depending on the model, all you have to do is insert a memory card into an onboard slot or hook up a camera via a USB cable. Then you press a couple of buttons and get prints in a couple of minutes or less, for 40 to 60 cents a pop. Control freaks can still hook up the unit to a PC.
