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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Print true 4x6 photos at home or on the go, works with Linux

Don't be fooled by this printer's 300 dpi rating. Dye-sublimation technology prints dots in true color, unlike inkjet printers which require many more dots per inch as they eject many microscopic single color droplets over an area of "dots" to make them appear as a single color from a normal viewing distance. The CP-760 photographs are indistinguishable from those you order in a darkroom. This requires special Canon paper and ink, but the Canon KP-108IN Color Paper Set (3115B001) has everything you need to print 108 4x6 photos for around 27 cents each (or maybe a little more if you can afford the cost of the printer). . what you should). Convenience versus walking to the store, especially if you only need a print or two. Consumables are designed exactly for the number of photos they are talking about, no matter how much or how little color there is in the photo. The "Ink Pack" contains a 4" wide roll of film with 6" sections of each color (yellow, magenta and cyan) followed by a 6" transparency layer, just enough to produce the number of photos listed. Once printed each section ends up with that color negative from the image so it cannot be reused.I believe it is possible to recover photos from discarded negatives so if this is a problem you should pull the film out after it is "empty” and dispose of it in some other way rather than throwing the cartridge in the trash. Size-wise, a 3:2 format photo (like a DSLR) works better on 4x6 paper than the standard 4:3 format found in most digital cameras, cropped at the top and bottom The color has come out very well You can print 8 images in one photo if you want to check the color values The LCD is low resolution and should not under any circumstances used to judge the color of an image. Fortunately, there's little on an LCD that you can't do on a camera. You can print directly from a memory card using a clunky LCD image selection interface that doesn't allow for much control. Or you prepare a "print order" in the camera, the so-called DPOF. When viewing your pictures in the camera in PLAY mode, look for "Print” or "DPOF Print” in the PICTURE MENU. Then follow the instructions. When you're done, take out the card and insert it into the printer, which will complete your "print job". Another option is to connect the camera directly to the printer using the camera's USB cable if the camera supports "print mode". " on the dial (PictBridge), most. In this mode you can also select mode 2 or 4, and as soon as you press "Print" they are sent directly to the printer. Convenient, but drains the battery you also can print wirelessly straight from your phone or laptop and send photos to the printer via bluetooth had to try it I'm happy to report it works fine on this printer and I can print from my phone what mean could that there is a good chance any usb bluetooth adapter will work finally you can print from computer via usb cd with programs for mac and windows i haven't tried yet they work with linux gutenprint-cups 5.2 .4 knows some CP models but not this particular one, so you have to manually select the driver like Canon SELPHY-CP-520 BECHER+Gutenprint (Warning that the next model 750 will NOT work) There is also a plugin pack t called gutprint-plugin, which allows you to print directly from GIMP. With these, I recommend scaling the image to paper size before printing to avoid the visible overlap that occurs when you let the driver do the scaling. In GIMP, resize to Width 1740 (3.9 inches) or Height 1170 (5.8 inches) with Lanczos (Sinc), then apply an unsharp mask if necessary. The new models differ in appearance and some software tweaks (margins, etc.) as all CP series printers are 300 dpi printers using the same ink and paper. Given that the 760 is currently available at Crutchfield for a very good price, I'd say if you don't need a bucket or an extra battery option then you should.
