HP has released a family of new web-connected, ePrint-enabled Photosmart printers that offer consumers a combination of cutting-edge design, personalised apps and the ability to print from anywhere, at anytime.
They include the HP ENVY100 e-All-in-One compact unit that is designed to fit the modern lifestyle, is said to be the world’s first PVC-free printer and offers the most convenient way to wirelessly print documents and photos. Users can also produce web prints without a PC, and print anywhere, anytime, using apps and HP ePrint.
The new HP Photosmart eStation features a detachable, 7-inch, full-colour touchscreen and doubles as a wireless digital companion and control panel for remote printing. It also offers full web browsing capability with high performance printing, copying, scanning and faxing without a phone line. Fun apps include eReader, Snapfish, Facebook, music, email and news and users can also enjoy deluxe photo printing with the HP Photosmart eStation’s 5-ink IIC, auto photo paper tray, HP Photo Creations and HP Print Gadget.
The HP Photosmart e-All-In-One printers are ePrint enabled printers allowing users to have a simple email address to deliver a print the same way they would send an email message. Customers can also send documents, such as Microsoftr Office documents, Adobe PDFs, and JPEG image files among others, to print through an HP ePrint mobile app on their smartphone device to a home, office or public print location.
One of the key features of the new printers is ePrint, which allows users to take advantage of cloud computing to print files from anywhere in the world, using a laptop or mobile device. The printers are also touch-enabled, which makes content available simply by sweeping your finger on an intuitive touch screen panel.
They also include AirPrint technology for Apple devices, which automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software.
