Review on 🖨️ Enhanced Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer for Advanced Photo Printing (2565B001) by Brandon Thompson

If you absolutely need to print by yourself, this is a good printer to buy. Bottom Line: Most photo labs will print cheaper, with better quality control, known sizes, and a known press life. Quality: This sublimation printer corresponds to laboratory quality. Prints are crisp and well colored. (I use a color calibration tool for my monitor so I know the colors are correct on the printer. I suspect this might be an issue with other reviewers who have complained about color variations.) Cost: You're looking at around US$60 - Dollars to Buy one unit plus $0.27 per print. Photo labs typically start at $0.19 per print. You pay extra for the convenience of printing here and now, but it's not that expensive. The "media sample" provided by Canon was sufficient for exactly 5 prints. When ordering this printer, be sure to purchase the first pack of 108. Quality Control: A dye underprinter (in my experience) provides more consistent quality than an inkjet printer. Ink dries, color film does not. Ink nozzles can clog and, unlike color film, leave streaks on printouts. Even then, a defect in the ribbon or paper will show up on your printouts. I've already seen this on this unit in the third picture I printed out. My print has a light green spot in the place of a magenta film defect. This is another win for the lab: if I could get this print from the lab, I could get them to reprint it for free. If I do it myself, a new print will cost me an additional $0.27. Size: As mentioned in another review, 4x6 prints are approximately 3-15/16" by 5-13/16" when printed "borderless". on perforated sheets 4x6. Any professional printer will tell you to plan for space when sending images to print, and this is a good example. Do not print images with content to the edge or you will be disappointed if it is cropped. This probably applies to your darkroom as well, so plan ahead and save yourself the heartache. Also note that the aspect ratio of a 4x6 print is 3:2, while the aspect ratio of most compact cameras is 4:3. Some labs offer 4.5 x 6 prints for this very reason, to avoid cropping the image. The printer does not have cropping/positioning tools. So before you send 4:3 images to this printer, you need to precrop them in your favorite image editor. Or shoot with a DSLR with a 3:2 aspect ratio sensor (all modern Canon and Nikon DSLRs). Lifespan: Photo prints on photo paper last for decades. Their long-term lightfastness is well known. Printer paper and sublimation inks are not so well known. I had an old (circa 2001) Olympus sublimation photo printer and the prints I still have from that machine have NOT survived. Colors are separated unevenly or, in some cases, have completely disappeared. I'm glad I didn't entrust anything important to this medium. Canon claims prints from this printer will last 100 years. Hopefully.
