HP Photosmart 385 FOR SALE

The HP Photosmart 385 Photo Printer lets you preview, edit and select photos to print from its built-in color LCD. It's easy to print lab-quality borderless 4 x 6-inch photos without a computer and thanks to the HP Vivera Inks, your prints are outstanding with vivid colors and resist fading for generations. Unlike many other photo printers, the Photosmart 385 has a per-print cost as low as $0.24 so it's quite economical to operate.

Preview, edit and select photos on the tilting 2.5-inch color LCD display, no computer is necessary. Put your camera's memory card into one of the card slots (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Card and xD- Picture Card), view the images on the color LCD, select the photos and press the Print button - that's it! HP Real Life Technology allows the printer to automatically detect and remove Red-eye and enhance detail in dark photo areas to make your pictures look even better.

You can print directly from any PictBridge-compatible camera using the standard USB download cable. With the optional HP Bluetooth adapter you can also print wirelessly from camera phones and PDAs. The Photosmart 385 makes outstanding 4 x 6 inch color borderless prints in about 90 seconds and can also print 4 x 12" panorama prints. Your photos will look true-to-life with crisp detail and vibrant color with HP's Vivera Inks and will remain that way for up to 82 years.

For the ultimate in portability you can install the optional internal Li-ion rechargeable battery in the bottom of the printer and use it anywhere to print up 75 photos per charge. And at home the Photosmart 385 can be connected to your computer's USB port and used like any other photo printer. HP includes a full suite of image editing, organizing and printing software.

Photosmart 385 Features:
Photo quality printing with up to 4800x1200-optimized dpi
Print 4 x 6-inch color photos in 60 seconds (bordered, from PC)
Built-in tilting 2.5-inch color LCD monitor

The Photosmart 385 printer uses the 7 ml Tri-color hp95 print cartridge with Vivera Inks or the larger capacity 14 ml Tri-color hp97 cartridge. If printing black and white photos you can substitute the optional hp100 gray photo inkjet cartridge.

Print from Flash Memory Cards
The printer has four flash memory card slots on the front. There is a slot for CompactFlash Type I or II, a slot for Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard, a slot for SmartMedia or xD-Picture cards and a slot for Memory Stick/MS Pro (Memory Stick Duo with adapter) cards. Only one card can be inserted at a time, you will receive a warning if you attempt to insert more than one card.

After inserting a memory card, the color LCD will say "reading card..." and then display the number of photos that it has found. The first picture is shown so you can edit it or print it. You can scroll through your pictures by using the 4-way controller (just like on your digicam).

The view from the top - a fairly simple and logical layout of control buttons, clearly marked as to their function.

Simple operation: Insert memory card, view pictures on the LCD, navigate to desired image, press the PRINT button!

It will also recognize images embedded with DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) information from your digicam and print these pre-selected images automatically when you press the Print button.

The ZOOM buttons allow you to zoom-in or zoom-out and perform cropping before the image is printed.

The color LCD provides the user with a wealth of easy to follow options and a thorough Help system that all but eliminates the need for the user manual.

Memory Card Reader
The memory card slots act just like a card reader when the printer is connected to a computer via the USB cable. The memory card appears as a removable drive in the "My Computer" folder of a Windows machine. You can easily copy, move or delete files using Windows Explorer or any file management program.

With Windows you will get one of these "popups" on your computer screen whenever a card is inserted. You can select an automatic action such as unload pictures using HP Image Unload Software or Open folder to view or copy the image files.

PictBridge Direct-Printing
Any PictBridge-compatible digital camera can be connected directly to the front-mounted USB port. In PictBridge mode you use the camera's color LCD and menu to perform the printing operation - it's quick and simple. Shown here is the Canon Powershot S410 camera. We printed out a 4-megapixel image in about one minute and forty-five seconds.

When the printer is closed up it resembles a hi-tech bread toaster and is about the same physical size (approx 9 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches) and weighs less than three pounds. HP has an optional carrying case to make this a really portable printing system. Seen here next to the very compact Photosmart R607 digital camera.

The paper tray on the rear handles up to 20 sheets of HP's 4x6-inch glossy photo paper. You can use the newer 4x6-inch photo paper or the older style 4x6-inch paper which has a tear-off tab on one end.

Printing from a Computer
The included HP Image Zone software lets you organize, view, edit, print, backup and share your images and movie clips. There is both a fully-featured version and the Express version (shown above) on the software CD.

Optional Accessories
Want to use your printer anywhere? Just buy the optional $80 Li-ion rechargeable battery and slip it into the bottom of the printer and use the AC adapter to charge it. A fully charged battery supplies enough power to make up to 75 prints.

HP also has an optional car DC power adapter for 12V operation.

Do you have a laptop, cellphone camera, PDA or other device with wireless Bluetooth? With the optional $50 HP bt300 Bluetooth Adapter you can now make prints with no cables within the operating range of your device.

If you take your HP 385 on the road frequently you might want to consider getting the optional carrying case to protect it. It has storage pockets for paper and ink cartridges and comes with a shoulder strap.

If all you need to print is 4x6" size photos and you want to be able to do this at home or in the field, without a computer - or (optionally) an AC power cord, then this may be the printer for you. The HP 385 can read all popular digicam flash card types (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MMC, Memory Stick/MS Pro [MS Duo with adapter] or xD-Picture Cards) via its four built in card slots. And it lets you print directly from any digital camera that supports the PictBridge standard - and that's the majority of all cameras made since mid-2004.

The print times in standalone mode are somewhat variable due to the resolution of the image being printed. The printer's internal processor is fairly robust, we saw average print times of one minute and fifty seconds when reading 6-megapixel images from a fast SD Card. Printing from a computer, it didn't matter what resolution the input image was, the print times were consistently around 60 seconds. Standalone print times were calculated from press of the PRINT button to paper drop in the output tray.

The print quality is excellent and the equal of those made conventionally at your local camera store. The new hp95, hp97 and hp100 print cartridges feature Vivera Inks to resist fading and keep prints looking sharp and colorful for up to 82 years (according to testing by Wilhelm Research.) Borderless prints can be made on HP 4x6" (true size) photo paper or the older HP 4x6" glossy photo paper that has a 1/2-inch tear-off tab on the trailing end. The per-print cost can be as low as $0.24 when you purchase the HP Custom 95 Series Photo Value Pack which includes 200 sheets of 4x6" paper and a HP95 color cartridge.

The Photosmart 385 is almost identical to last year's Photosmart 375 but adds the HP Real Life Technology to automatically remove flash red-eye and the Adaptive Lighting helps to brighten the dark backgrounds found in many flash photos. To make the HP 385 the ultimate portable photo printer just add the optional Li-ion battery pack, it lets you use this printer anywhere - no AC power needed!

The new HP iPAQ rx1950 targets mostly new users of Pocket PCs. You will not be spellbound by its performance but its well-designed case contains everything you would expect from a Pocket PC of this category. In addition there is a bonus of integrated WiFi. So if you are considering buying your first Microsoft-based system Pocket PC right now, you should not leave out this iPAQ in your considerations.

Hewlett-Packard has always been one of the main innovators in the Pocket PC field. But contrary to the past, not all innovations or even whole devices are now received as positively as a few years ago. Smaller or bigger objections are more likely nowadays. But when looking at the new Pocket PC with the HP logo on its hood, that is HP iPAQ rx1950, it fortunately seems to me that at least in the introductory level devices HP abandoned all experiments and used what was proven. That is definitely good news.

By using a concept that has previously been tested and which targets new or less demanding users, also means that we can hardly find anything surprising or even shocking in this HP iPaq. But that is more or less a feature so we need to put up with it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is in the Package?
There is no need to waste time describing the coloured box itself. Anyway, it will end up somewhere on the shelf, in the cellar or even in the bin. But first you should probably take out the the contents, which are:

HP iPAQ rx 1950 device
1100 mAh Li-Ion battery
AC adapter
USB sync cable
Simple protective case
CD-ROM including Outlook 2002 and bonus applications
Quick start guide
Warranty card
Voucher for software at iPAQ Choice
Available accessory leaflet

Except for the device itself, which we are going to describe later, the box contains only the very basic stuff. The battery is supplied separately, which apart from anything else means it is replaceable. As is common for HP, the AC adapter is one-piece only, without replaceable plugs for different sockets. The cord is long enough, 180 centimetres should be sufficient to the nearest socket for everybody. The communication with a PC is done through a 120 centimetres long USB cable containing also the connector for the AC adapter – there is no separate adapter for direct charging.

iPAQ is a Pocket PC so very few will use at one place only. To prevent damage during transport, there is a protective case included in the box, the same one as supplied with h4150. Technically speaking, it is a nylon banner with soft lining protecting the device from scratching. The banner creates a pocket sewed on both sides with elastic fabric. There is no belt clip. In other words it is a very simple case which, however, fulfils its purpose.

Now we are getting to the end of our short list. You will find only a bare minimum of applications on the supplied CD, it contains more or less the bonuses from Microsoft only. HP has been instead offering a voucher for its iPAQ Choice web shop for a certain time where you can exchange the voucher for a few applications of your own choice. Furthermore, the box contains just some leaflets, a short guide for beginners and warranty information. That is to say the box contains only the necessary stuff you cannot do without. Anything else is an unnecessary luxury which rises the price but nobody prevents you from buying the missing equipment :)

I-trip

The iTrip is an FM Transmitter made by Griffin Technology as a third party accessory for Apple Computer's popular iPod.

The iTrip plugs into the headphone socket of the iPod and converts the audio output into an FM radio signal, which can then be picked up by appliances such as car radios. It has a range of about fifteen feet, and can broadcast on any FM frequency from 76.0 to 108.0 MHz (though the default US configuration is limited to 87.9 to 107.9 MHz).

Instead of using batteries, the iTrip draws its power from the iPod through the remote control port located just next to the headphone socket.
