Have had a chance to give this a good workout, and have to make the following comments:
Dead easy to set up, easy to load ribbon cartridge and paper tray, but must read instructions first! The oddly named software is, as you said, a doddle to use - it does all that it should quickly and easliy - even if the instructions etc are in, umm, quaint English.
The results for colour and mono are, quite simply, astounding. I did not know it was possible to get genuine photo prints like these at home. Anyone prepared to pay 30p or so for a superb 6x4 must buy one.
Use any of these comments as you wish - it's all true!

I am still open-mouthed in amazement at the excellence of this piece of equipment.
The printer produces photographs that as far as I can see are perfect in every way. The quality is such that I thought could not be approached by any printer and are quite the equal of laboratory-processed photographs. My camera is merely 3.5 megapixel but this is quite sufficient to produce marvellous prints. I am using the photoshuttle for my own personal home use and although a cheaper version is available I am pleased that I paid the odd £40 or so for the extra speed.
I am amazed that these printers appear to be relatively unknown - as far as I am concerned this is the only printer for me from now on!

I am very pleased with the results of photos printed by the HiTi printer. I have the Photoshuttle model, as I thought a middle of the range one would be a good place to start. The software is an excellent complement to the printer and very user friendly. There is a wide choice of options with labels, various photo sizes and formats on one print alone. It's a perfect result every time, unlike an inkjet printer which can sometimes produce an erratic copy. In addition it is much faster than an inkjet printer per print. The photos are harder wearing and the print won't run if they get a little wet/damp, unlike inkjet printer photos. I had no qualms about hanging onto mine after I received it and tried it out. I'm sure the price of the units will come down too as supply and demand dictate.
A great piece of engineering.
This is what our customers think of the HiTi 630PL & Photoshuttle Printers.
