Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer Review
The Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer is a portable photo printer that works with either MAC computer or PC computers. You can also plug your digital camera directly into the printer and print out from it. While the Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer claims portability, there is no battery pack that would enable a user to have all around access without an electrical outlet of some type. This can limit the use and portability of this photo printer. Another drawback to this photo printer is that while it claims to be compact, the area require to actually print out photographs is larger than is assumed. You need to have seven to eight inches free on either side of the printer in order to get quality prints.
Users of the Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer state that there are some issues with the print quality until the color settings have been corrected. Once the corrections are made, then the printer has a great quality output that is rivaled only by traditional photo printing.
The Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer uses a ribbon type printing where layers of color are laid down one by one to bring the image to life. The final layer is a clear coat that will give sheen to the final photograph. Many appreciate the quality this type of printing creates and tout its inexpensive cost when compared to a standard ink jet print out. The downside to this is that you have to purchase special made photo paper by Canon for use in the Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer.
The standard paper sizes are slightly different than they purport. A six by four print is actually a few millimeters shy of that and if you are looking for exact scaling, you will lose some of the edges of the image you are trying to print. You may need to rescale your image before you print it out in order to get the entire image on the sheet. While this may be discouraging to some, the print quality seems to make up for the loss of image size. There are different sizes of printer paper packs available for purchase.
All in all, it seems that the quality of prints makes up for any other traits that are lacking in the Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer. With the options available for direct printing from the photo printer, many photos can be customized to suit the needs of the user. Simple functions such as red eye removal, the date and custom frames are available in the menu on the Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer. There is no need to have a computer hooked up to this printer in order to use. It can be taken anywhere you wish to take and print photos at any time as long as there is a power source nearby. This is the only requirement in order to use this portable compact photo printer.
