It all boils down to you wanting the best photo printer. Full colors with high resolution printing and an additional advantage of you printing directly from that high memory card that you have.

The only downside to this is that you would not getting the same quality as those printed from a highly modernized printer or done by expert printing shops. But it will be real close. Besides, you will have photos you can hand out on the spot. The soonest possible time after you have them taken.

What are some of the features you should look for in a portable photo printer?

It should have a resolution of at least 4800 x 1200, with the ability to print on heavy papers. Since you are dealing with photos, photo enhancing abilities should be included in the driver. For good measure, a photo display and editing software should come in handy indeed.

Additional extra tools would be nice too. Like the tiniest of LCD screens to view the photos before you have them printed. A media card reader that will give you the capability to print directly from the memory card.

Other useful trinkets would be the ability of the printer to connect to the digital camera. And for better results, a borderless printing would be an advantage to avoid borders that seem too wide for the photos.

Every photo enthusiast should consider these things to get the best results in their newly-acquired hobby that others may not seem happy to share with you. Who knows what you would turn out to be?
