Review on Canon SELPHY Compact Printer 4350B001 by Besim Kahsar

Not so great.

I print a lot of photos so I thought it was a good idea. When you print from a memory card, then part of the image is cropped. (Pollitsa, a cool tree on the side. It just disappeared) I've been playing around with the settings (Borderless or Borders) and couldn't find a way around it around. So I had to install the software and connect it to my computer. (No more portable printer). The software is a joke. Very slow and it's not my computer. (Asus Republic of Gamers i7 Laptop with 16GB RAM, USB 3.0 125GB SSD, Windows 7). Going through and taking all my photos takes forever and I have to do this every time I launch the program. Most of the time I just get small empty squares and have to close and restart the program. This allows you to move the image and choose what you want to crop, but it won't scale it. So I have to go to Photoshop, resize the image, save it, wait for the printer software to find the image, and then wait for it to print. Child defeats goal of "quick typing at home." The images are crisp and beautiful, and when they do eventually print, you have to give credit. I had quite a few images (12 in total now) when I clicked print the printer just spit out a white card with no image printed on it. I figured I could just put the paper back in and try again, but no, I ran out of ink for this painting so it was wasted. I'm not entirely sure why he's doing this. I think it's ok for the price and what it is. If I had had a chance to use one before ordering, I would not have bought it. But what is is. I will continue to send my photos to Snapfish for now and use that for one of the two images I plan to print at home.

Pros
  • The light, compact body and optical battery make this printer easy to take with you
Cons
  • No instructions
