 Great 4X6 photo Printer! September 26, 2006

I have bought two CP720 for $99.00 each from local store. It has several useful functions like 1.5 inch LCD preview monitor, multi layout control, built in USB cable and card reader... Print quality is excellent with anti-smudge coating, you can not tell the difference with print from Photo Lab or even better. Printing time takes about 2 min. Highly recommend this printer for people who want to print snap photos by themselves. Furthermore, upgrade version CP730 has battery operated option, so you can get nice photo lab quality print at anytime, anywhere.
CONs; 28 per print. Easy to get dust spot on the final image while 3 pass print processing. No image Cropping function(But $50 more CP730 has it!)
As advertised plus January 7, 2007

This is an outstanding bit of techno wizardry.
We bought it for Mom's trip to Europe with 4 box's of 108 prints. Based on past experience we figured out the cost per picture and this was an easy winner for us. If the device survives past the first 400 prints we are in the cream!
The BAD first....
1. This IS a stand alone unit - you do NOT need a computer to use it. BUT REPEAT BUT if you do want to print from your computer - say after taking out that red eye - you MUST be running MS XP or VISTA. There are NO supports for Linux or those other older OS's. That's why it only gets 3 stars. So much for backwards compatible, free markets etc....
2. The paper tray is flimsy and poorly designed watch you don't break it.
3. Canon has a bad habit of NOT supporting its printer products. We have Canon printers that lack only 15 cent parts but Canons way is to buy a whole new unit. Our plan - and advise to the buyer - is to buy up front for a one time use.
Canon printers do not like to sit idle nor age well so if you wont get your value in the first 6 months you run a very real risk of dissatisfaction.
The GOOD ....
This baby rocks.Period.
1. Clear crisp prints faster than the old polaroids and excellent color.
2. The thing is so simple my brother couldn't screw it up. A real joy in high tech, just plug it in and it works!
3. The print media is all but fool proof and the whole set up takes about 1/2 a cup of coffee even if you refuse to read the instructions.
4. We are very pleased to report that this is just as it advertised 1,2,3 simple - insert card, select image and hit print. That simple and easy.
5. The test sheets are post cards. That means you can send that picture of your finger in front of Old Faithful to your kids before you leave the park ... oh the fun we will have with this !
6. The unit is JUST small enough to take in a camera bag but very nice for cluttered desks with enough cord for the coffee table. You can pick the unit up and look close at the little screen deciding if you want to print that picture of your sister giving you that raspberry without needing a gym membership nor endangering the units functions.
6.25a If you are willing to use MS XP or later you can have way more fun with this thing than is legal in some places.
Given the pace we should see this device with a far bigger LCD in a year and real cross platform function before that. This is one device that waiting will probably pay off with but at under $100 it's a really good TOY buy with the above in mind. If it turns out to be a really good tool as well thats all to the good. We shall see...
We have had to drag mother into the digital era. Toys like this make it easy and fun for her at a price point per picture that lets her fiddle and try things.

After many reviews, I decided to try my first dye-sublimation printer. I was a bit disappointed. My only complaints are about the quality and size of the paper. The size is smaller than a regular 4x6 but I've read this before so I already expected it. Even knowing this, I couldn't get over the size once I personally saw it and compared it with the standard Canon 4x6 glossy plus. The quality is more of a disappointment. The details are not as good as the Epson PictureMate Deluxe that I bought for my parents. I noticed this in the shadows. The hair on my son showed up as a block of black ink. The same photo showed some strands details on the Epson. Overall, I will still keep it since it is the smallest printer I've ever seen and it is fast as advertised. If size is not an issue, I'd recommend the Epson PictureMate Deluxe.
 I was wrong!!! March 26, 2007

Initially my review of this product was not a very good one, but after using the product for over a year now, I understand how it can be a good product for photographers who are on the go.
It has 4 swift passes then a picture (Not the best quality that there is, but still great) comes out and everyone is happy. The features I really like about this printer are the retractable USB cable and the ease of popping in one ink cartridge that gives as many pictures as it promises.
Also, the on screen photo selection is awesome. You can select multiple pictures at the same time and even tell how many of each you want. For instance, you want one copy of photo 2 and 10, but you want three of photo 15. It'll do it with ease. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to use it either.
It's also good if you edit a picture on your computer and send it back to the SD card. It prints the new photoshoped picture and all.
I do a lot with photoshop and this feature alone makes it worth buying. Once you get all your images onto the card tell it to print what you want and its a go.
Definitely a good buy...for the price.

This copy printer was purchased for my husband. He loves it! He would like to know if/how he can print in different sizes. Also, can he buy more paper for the ink cartridge or does it only come in packages.
The pictures come out beautifully. They come as glossy postcards. However, when written on the address side, it makes the picture side "bumpy."
Thank you,
Joan Hartlaub
