With a name that impressive, there's no doubt Smartparts can deliver outstanding products and the SP8PRT digital photo frame is no exception. While playing nice with displaying your memories in 800x600 resolution and functioning as a PMP, the 8-inch SP8PRT photo frame has a cleverly concealed printer behind its LCD screen to produce 4x6-inch glossy prints instantaneously with the touch of a button. A dye-sublimation color cartridge loaded with ink and paper is supplied with the photo frame, which can print up to 36 pictures of your choice. As part of its OpitiPix lineup, it can also play WMA and AVI files at their native resolutions from most memory card formats including SD, Memory Stick, and xD Picture Card.

The SP8PRT digital photo frame retails at about $279 and is available nationwide.

“The SP8PRT offers consumers the best of both worlds,” said Stefan Guelpen, president and co-founder of Smartparts. “Not only does it enable consumers to display their digital images in a way that is more convenient and familiar than on a PC, it also bridges the gap that exists between those who prefer digital and hard copy images. At the push of a button, consumers can instantly create a 4x6-inch color print to share with friends or family all without having to boot up their PC, locate the photo, and use a large, cumbersome printer.”
