Canon SELPHY CP780 Compact Printer Review

We ordered this printer to make a guest photo book for a large family. By swapping out the memory cards, we were able to continuously take photos of the participants, print them out and stick them on the pages of the scrapbook. Our guests could sign their pages and add their congratulations and wishes. Everyone present had a lot of fun and the end result was impressive. While I would be perfectly happy to email my photos to Walgreens or elsewhere for printing, there are times when printing…

The printer prints great with the card reader that came with it. I found the printouts from the computer are too dark, I probably need to adjust the brightness control and after that everything is fine. It doesn't read xD cards, so you'll either need to connect your camera to the printer's USB port or use an xD to Compact Flash adapter if your camera uses xD cards. The printer comes with a starter pack containing 5 sheets and enough ink for 5 pages. Buy packs of 108 prints from Amazon and save.

I bought this printer for a friend's wedding. People could come and put their SD cards in the printout and we added them to the scrapbook. It worked great! We also worked hard on the typography. We took about 200 photos in one night. I don't think it had much of a break for 4 hours when it was on. We re-uploaded it the next day for people to print out the photos for themselves and we probably ran another 150 or so. He processed 350 photos in less than 24 hours. Since then I've printed about 200

Bought this printer after a bad experience with a much more expensive huge noisy inkjet photo printer scanner fax all in one. This tiny printer is actually portable, you can easily take it on vacation and print your photos every day, it will be a great time at a wedding or event. It is so easy to use - my non-technical husband can use it. The print quality is good (not great, but hey, this is for shooters), the dye sublimation process is really cool - the prints come out dry like Walmart, and…

I was a bit surprised by the print quality. It took some experimentation to calibrate the driver's brightness, saturation, and contrast settings to match those sent from Photoshop. I agree with 60 seconds for a 4x6 print considering how inexpensive the machine is. There are two areas that concern me: durability and actual print size. I took it to a small event where I needed to print about 100 images and after about 20 the machine kept warning me that it was overheating and had to stop printing
