It's ridiculous. My computer is 3 years old, and is still considered too "new". Do not buy this printer if you want to use it with OS X v3 or higher - it is not compatible. I am giving this product 1 star because Sony should have updated the software by now, or at least should let consumers know how outdated it is.
it is too much fun, low hassle, and creates great looking prints. this is NOT a substitute for kodak services if that's your bag, but for at-home creativeness and family album fun this can not be beat. i like to use it with "Comic Life" to add captions and make postcards. if you are a mac user, this is a great deal for a darn good dye sub printer. so when you are ready to toss the ink jet out the window in frustration, for postcard size prints, check out this little unit. my fave tho' is the tried and true simple white edged border. install the OSX driver and off you go into iPhoto-land printing all your pictures using all sorts of themes from within iPhoto. it also does edge to edge no problem.
Its printing quality deserves an A+ Its printing quality is as good as those kiosk from the department store. I bought it pre-owned and in a great condition, with no manual (I still do not know how to use all the way) I didn't know prior to acquiring this product that it only takes sony printing sheets and that they are so difficult to find and expensive to buy.
I have not noticed, as some have, that any color is particularly bright or vivid. I've been an avid amateur photographer for over 20 years, and I can tell you the prints from this printer are top notch and lab quality. Be advised that Sony does not include in the box any starter print cartridge or paper in the box, so you must buy these separatly. The price per print is a little hefty, around $0.65 per print if your buy the larger 75 print kit, but of course you only print the ones you really like. The color rendition is extemely accurate so long as you properly load the Sony printer driver. Those of you who get unexpected results may because of the quality or calibration of your computer monitor.
You can edit your pics right on your television then print. My only concern is that it does't come with a USB cable, but that can always be purchased at a later time. The print quality is awesome, I am using a Sony Cybershot 5 megapixel camera. It has many editing features as well. Overall, this is an excellent photo printer. I took it out of the box and loaded the paper, cartridge and memory stick and started printing right away. It has so many features.
