Canon Selphy CP770

 

To be really honest, the consumer level printer category I love to review, is the snapshot printer. While standard desktop inkjets have gotten redundant in their functioning and design, the snapshot printers are really going the extra mile to find a...

But then again snapshot printers were always about the novelty more than practicality. If you have kids in the house, who you love to photograph in their growing years; you'd probably appreciate the ease of use of this printer. Professional and...

Canon's bucket-shaped Selphy CP770 looks like something you'd fill with sand--but don't! This self-contained snapshot printer is cute and easy to tote, which makes up somewhat for other shortcomings.

Cute, self-contained design Inexpensive

Costly, complex consumables Slow; yellowish images

The chief reason to buy the Selphy CP770 is for the fun factor. Though the dye-sublimation technology produces a decent print, it's too slow and plastic-intensive for me to recommend over other kinds of printing

Editors' note: The CP770 uses the exact same printing technology as the previously reviewed CP760, so the performance tests and an explanation of dye-sub technology have been duplicated in this review as a result.

Rapid prints; excellent photo quality; simple design.

Long paper path; wireless accessories not included; no index view; expensive; lacks extra features.

The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the wireless accessories aren't included. If you're shopping for a convenient travel-friendly printer, check out the Canon Selphy CP760 that...

The Canon Selphy CP770 isn't cheap, but it's a handy and easy way to get near-flawless photo prints at home or on the go.

Beautiful photo output; easy to use; “bucket” case and optional battery make it truly portable

Pricey; images on LCD are small and fuzzy; higher cost per photo than online and in-store print services; included starter ink ribbon good for only five prints

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

Review: Canon Selphy CP770 portable photo printer

 

Sporting a clever bucket design that allows for easy packing of cords and extra media, Canon's Selphy CP770 is a streamlined portable photo printer with an optional battery that can print with or without being connected to a computer.

Before printing, you must remove the printer from its traveling bucket, which serves as a storage vessel, not a printer stand. You'll need a decent amount of room for the printer to work, as the area behind it must be kept clear in order for the paper...

June 4, 2008 For happy snappers who want those photos printed NOW, Canon's compact SELPHY CP770 features a bucket-like carrier basket to store the paper and ink, along with a power cord, while the optional battery makes the printer completely portable...

Very solid product!

 

I use it to print pictures taken of guests at my restaurant. About 2000 pics in and still printing like a champ. I'm very happy!
