Samsung may have the edge when it comes to audio video products. However, when it comes to photo printers, it is a very different story. We can’t just say that Samsung is better than Canon unless we can prove it. In order to substantiate this claim, let us compare the Samsung photo printers with Canon’s Selphy series. We’ve put down a list of criteria wherein we will be comparing the SPP 2040 from Samsung and the Selphy ES40 from Canon. Both, according to their promotions, are portable photo printers.
Speed and Quality
Let us go first with the primary characteristics of a printer. When looking at printers, this is the most important parameter to look into because this dictates whether or not your printer can make realistic pictures or not. Both printers use the dye-sublimation printing process that provides them with almost unlimited color. Both operate at 300dpi resolutions. However, Canon leads a bit in terms of speed since it can provide 6×4 pictures in 55 seconds whereas Samsung does so in 60 seconds. This is hardly a thing to fuss about.
Input Capacity
Unfortunately, the Canon photo printers are far better compared to the Samsung photo printers since they can accommodate more than twice the capacity of the latter. With an input capacity of 50 sheets, you can expect the least wear and tear since you don’t have to open and close your printer as often. Plus, the additional 30 sheets will certainly come in handy especially those times when you’re sharing pictures with loved ones.
Battery Life
Canon leads this parameter by default since the Samsung printer does not have an internal battery of its own. It has to rely on external power supply in order to operate. The additional feature of a battery makes the Canon printer more versatile and flexible in a sense that you can use it practically anywhere, be it in a beach or in the woods. Though it is hard to imagine why one would need a photo printer in the woods, it is still an advantage that other may find very useful.
LCD Panel
Canon leads a lot in this aspect since the ES40 has a 3.5” LCD panel. The SPP 2040 also has its own LCD panel but it is only a 2” LCD panel. Pictures are a lot clearer if the panels are bigger so you don’t run the risk of a reprint in case you missed out a few details during preview.
Other Features
Most printers’ deciding points are usually the additives. On top of the most basic expectations in terms of speed and resolution, some consumers consider the additional features that come with the gadget that can be used to their advantage. The Canon printer is able to support multiple types of memory cards whereas the Samsung printer does not. On top of that, it also has wireless capabilities that support PC-less printing. In the case of the Samsung printer, there is a Bluetooth option but you can only avail it for an additional price.
If this were a match, it would have been one by knockout in favor of Canon.
