I bought this item to take with me on a trip to the US. My husband and I could send postcards to our young grandchildren with our photos and places we have seen. It's portable, easy to use and we love it. Take photos with a digital camera, plug it into your car and print. That's easy. The pictures are great and the colors are great. We were not disappointed. We could also upload pictures to our laptop, edit them and then print them out. Just a few minutes when we rested in our hotels in the evening, and the next morning we sent them off before flying out again. I got so many oohs and aahs from the receptionist.
