Canon Selphy CP720

Even for a postcard photo printer, the new Selphy CP720 is so compact that it makes Canon's new inkjet - the PIXMA mini 260 - look positively chubby

Thermal dye-sub, 10x15cmto 10x20cm print size, 59seconds print speed, USB, PictBridge

xD-PictureCard viaoptional adaptor only

Superbly compact but still can't match the quality of inkjet prints

Canon Selphy CP720

I have reviewed several Canon small photo printers over the years, hear this one is perhaps the smallest ever, however this does not mean everything is perfect.

Visiting my brother over Christmas is always an opportunity to take photos. This year this small Canon Selphy printer went with me. It happily printed images I took then he suggested I print some of his images he took on a recent trip. Now the problems...

Canon - Selphy CP720

Described as a 'Compact Photo Printer', the Canon Selphy CP720 is little bigger than my hand and little more than six centimetres thick. It's a thermal dye printer designed for printing photos direct from digital cameras ...

Overall, Canon's Selphy CP720 impressed us. Prints were of a high quality and printed rapidly. What's more, the printer was very easy to use and is a convenient size to stow away in a desk drawer when not in use.

Canon Selphy CP720 Thermal Photo Printer

I can not begin to say how utterly dissappointed I am in this printer. It does not allow you to use a usb flash drive. It came with only a starter pack that consisted of just five pictures and enough ink to print only the five pictures. You have to buy...

Works great with my canon camera. That's about all I can say.

A lot. Read my review summary.

Glossy Baby, ready in 2 minutes

Small printer - big heart Motivation Why I have a photo printer in times when digital cameras are used and you can watch the photos online? Well, you can't pin up your digital camera and you also cannot buy 20 digital photo frames. (of course you can,...
