Compact printer that's great value for money

This compact printer is perfect for those who need hard copies of all their digital photos. It can access images from memory cards of various sizes, so there is no need to connect to a computer. The only problem I've found with this printer, like all other compact printers I've tried, is that it tends to crop the top of the original photos. For example, if you're taking a group shot and the top of the frame is close to people's heads, it's possible that the print will cut off those people somewhere in the brow area. This can be very annoying! I fixed this problem now, by using the ROTATE button so that it prints upside down and just crops the bottom of the image. I've often wondered why the default doesn't crop the bottom instead of the top, but this trick made it easier to work with images where important elements are very close to the top of the frame. There are also scaling and cropping features, as well as other creative features if you want to get creative with your prints. The print quality is excellent and everyone thinks I printed the photos professionally.
