As he's using it in his own studio, professional photographer Douglas Kirkland came along to the Asia Pacific launch of the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer in Beijing to endorse its touted claims of colour accuracy, consistancy and speed.

Kirkland wowed the audience with samples from his vast portfolio of celebrity images. His photojournalism career took off in the 1960s/70s with stints at both Look and Life magazines. He has also worked on the sets of more than 100 motion pictures and tales of how he captured many of his iconic images proved highly entertaining.

    • Canon Selphy CP770

      Canon Selphy CP770

      The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.

    • Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

    • Canon Selphy ES2

      Although it offers no technical upgrades from its predecessor, an enhanced user interface and larger LCD display improve on the impressive ES1, making the Canon Selphy ES2 a pleasing choice for a dye-sub photo printer.

    • Epson Stylus Photo R1900

      Epson Stylus Photo R1900

      Epson's Stylus Photo R1900 photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink or advanced photographers who want to print large but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.

    • HP Photosmart A626

      HP Photosmart A626

      The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.
