4 out of 5 stars Pretty amazing for $100!   May 21, 2009

I got tired of sending prints to the drugstore and getting mediocre quality, so I decided to see if I could manage it better with a printer at home. Even after I bought it, I was skeptical of what kind of results I'd get, but I was totally wowed. The prints are vivd, crisp, and gorgeous. I absolutely love it. The only qualm I have is the cropping issue another reviewer lamented about. If printing directly from the printer, you don't have many editing options. (It's designed for the less technically inclined.) Printing from a computer lets you be more specific as far as indicating the print area on your photo, but the 4x6 sizing is not conducive to digital images. You're going to lose part of your picture no matter what. Even so, it's incredible for the price, so I'm happy to sing it's praises.


3 out of 5 stars Great Pictures, ONE SNAG FEATURE   April 25, 2009

Hi! I Researched for months before landing back on this Canon Selphy CP 780 printer. If you read enough info on the ink vs dye sublimation, you will find that most net reviews are going with dye for crispness, holding true to color, and longevity. I was nervous to try this method,as been an ink jetter for so long, but think about it.. dots per square inch, versus complete ribbon layering coverage.. its amazing to watch this thing print. My main focus was wanting CLEAR crisp quality in my photos. I did not want my children's cute summer tan photos, to have their skin look pale.. I wanted true color, and got it. From opening the box to set up, to a print in my hand was like 4 minutes.
I LOVE the way the prints look... HOWEVER>>>>>>>>>>
the Canon Selphy cp780, has 2 types of print settings. WITHOUT a border, which prints a true 4x6 print, or with a border, which modifies the print to a 3x5, and a nice white border around the pboto.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR SUBJECTS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE PHOTO, AND THEY ARE NOT TOTALLY CENTERED (WHICH WITH KIDS, ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME ON ACTION SHOTS) THE 4X6 SIZE PRINT WILL CUT OFF THE HEAD, AND NOT PRINT TRUE TO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE VIEWING BOX.
I spent much time speaking with CANON about this setting, and they offer no trim settings, other than what I mentioned with the border, thus forcing me to send back my wonderful (otherwise) selphy.
It will be missed, but not for a large amount of photos that are really 3x5 not 4x6 size. It was simply cutting out too much of some pictures..
so bye bye canon.. Not sure what else I will find.. but surely will stick to dye sublimation print quality.



3 out of 5 stars Nice, prints, but some drawbacks.   November 7, 2009

The Selphy printer prints turn out quite nice, but I had a few issues.

Pros:
Easy of use
Good quality
Small and light
Speed is decent (the new ink jets are now faster then the Selphy)
Great price for the printer, I even found it at the local store for the same price as Amazon

Cons:
not quite 4X6 prints (the are slightly smaller)
only holds 18 sheets of paper at atime
Ink and paper is kind of expensive, and not always easy to find.
The highest amount of prints per ink package is 36 (that's the biggest ink ribbon I found).

If you need a true 4X6 printer, then this will not work, and if you need to print large quantities, this is not a good printer for the job.




5 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality but NO USB CABLE included   November 17, 2009

The print quality is fantastic. Truly. Just as good as when you order prints through an online printhouse. Very easy to use. Print cost averages around 30 cents. Significantly lower than competitors and you aren't sacrficing quality.

Two criticisms only. This printer doesn't come w/ a USB cable. When I called Canon about it, they said that they are no longer including USB cables to save customers money (ha, ha) because most people are replacing printers nowadays. My frustration is that this is a photo printer and not the main one, thus you actually do need a separate USB cable. Plan on purchasing one separately.

Secondly, when you are printing from your memory card (super easy) you are very limited in editing options. You cannot shift or crop the image. That said, I went to hook it up to the computer, but can't because of the missing cable. Frustrating glitch on such a super quality product.

Overall, we are thrilled w/ the print quality. Definitely worth purchasing.



5 out of 5 stars Nice little printer for the price   September 7, 2009

I purchased the Selphy CP-780 as a replacement for my CP-720, which was a replacementt for my CP-220, while there wasn't anything wrong with the CP-720 I just wanted the newer model. Right away a few things I noticed.

Its faster (print wise and starting/turning off), buttons and layout of menu's are much nicer and more refined. The paper tray has been redesigned and much easier to open/load.

The picture quality doesn't look any different but I always thought it was pretty impressive anyways. I did notice the sample paper it comes with is no longer has a post card on the back, I requested this paper many moons ago when I had the CP-220. At the time they said there was no demand (ya right). Anyways once I use up the 300+ postcard I had stocked up on, I'll be happy to move onto regular photo paper with a blank back.


I currently only have 2 cons with this new printer and they are very minor if anything.

1. Canon no longer includes a USB (Type B) cable. Come on what does this run like 30 cents?
2. They removed the built in micro usb cable that the CP-720 had (not a huge deal because it still has the ports on the side, and chances are you have a USB (A or B) cable laying around.
