Canon Selphy CP760 Printer
Canon’s new addition to their line of printers is Canon Selphy CP760 Printer. It is an upgrade over the inkjet printers and is a dye sublimation photo printer.
It was created keeping in mind its target audience which are mainly families and children as it is very easy to operate and prints excellent quality photos quickly.
The most important feature of this printer is that you don’t need a computer to print. You can easily do so with memory card, USB drive, a digital camera enabled with PictBridge or via a Bluetooth interface.
Canon has added value to the printer by appealing to the instant gratification need of the customers and hence this printer is very famous with family people and people love to carry it around with them.
CP760 is much smaller than the regular printer, just 3.3 inches tall and 7.9 inches wide, and hence it doesn’t support printing on regular sheets of paper.
It uses a 4-by-6 inch paper instead. When you purchase the printer you will receive some trial sheets of 4-by-6 paper along with a wired power adapter and a paper cassette.
You have the option to preview the pictures before actually printing them through a 2.5 inch TFT display on the top of the unit.
In addition, there are nine rubber buttons adjacent to the screen which helps you navigate the menu.
There are also some auto-editing options available such as Red-eye Elimination, Portrait Image Optimize, and Scene Select.
The CP760 uses a dye sublimation ink technology as opposed to the regular ink technology which is supposed to protect the pictures for as long as 100 years.
The dye sublimation process ensures that the paper makes four passes through the machine, the first three lay down the base colors, cyan, magenta, and yellow and the last pass overcoats the image with a thin layer to prevent any discoloration and extend the durability.
All in all, Canon Selphy CP760 is an excellent product for an amateur photographer and a home user.
