5. HP Photosmart 7520

An excellent budget printer designed for home users who want lab-quality photos and mobile printing. It would suit anyone who wants to print snaps without a hefty investment.

7. Epson Expression Premium XP-605

Polaroid's "portable photo booth" wirelessly produces old-school prints from your smartphone and, incredibly, doesn't use a drop of ink.

A simple photo printer designed for smartphone users. Simply place your phone in the docking station to print 4x6 photos in seconds. But the photo-print cartridges can be pricey.
