I received a Canon Selphy CP800 Photo printer for a Christmas gift. I love it! It is a dye-sublimation thermal transfer printer, which makes photos the same way that stores and photo shops do, heat on color cartridge. I had a Kodak D-STT printer, but it became obsolete and expensive to get cartridges, and pictures were costing $1.00/print. The Canon only costs about .25 cents/print and the pictures come out great. It is fast, easy to install to be compatible with my computer, quiet and the cartridge lasts for more than the 35 prints it says it does.
There is one thing – the photos came out a little darker than they were in Photo gallery, so if it seemed like the picture was dark, I just lightened it before printing and reverted back to the original after.
Unlike my old printer, I could send the picture to the printer and almost immediately go back to looking for the next picture I wanted to make a copy of. With the old Kodak, I had to wait until the copier was almost done with the print.
I would definitely recommend the Canon Selphy CP800 if you know someone who likes to hand out pictures, or like me, show off your gorgeous Grandkids! Oh, this printer also makes Post Card copies – you need to buy the post card paper made for this printer though.
Pros: Easy set up, easy to use, economical, pictures are crisp and clear
Cons: The pictures come a little dark
I would definitely recommend this printer for anyone who enjoys printing photos to share.
This is a sample of how I spent my day today:
Happy and Blessed New Year!
From Grandma, with love!
