Canon Selphy ES1

This compact photo printer produces quality photos, but it's not all that quick about it.

Slow print speed ; Printing sometimes misaligns photos

Canon Selphy ES1 Photo Printer Review

Instead of the usual box-like design, the Canon Selphy ES1 compact dye sublimation photo printer is a silver tower that stands almost 8 inches high, with the controls, including a 2.5-inch LCD screen, on the top. At $249, the ES1 is a little more...

The ES1 has a slightly unusual approach to paper and ink handling. Both the ink ribbon cassette and the 4x6-inch postcard paper are contained in the plastic printer cartridge, which fits inside the printer through the cartridge door on the right side....

Not Sure

Product arrived quickly but not sure if I missed in the listing that this film was expired or if they failed to say it. The pictures I printed came out fine but wonder if they would have been better if the film was not 5 months expired when I got it.
