4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost Perfect, September 4, 2004
This review is from: Canon CP-330 Compact Photo Printer Kit (Office Product)
First, if you shoot a SLR Digital and want a quick turn around for a proof, this is your printer (especially in the field).
The only calibration/setting that I have needed to do is in the Brightness and Red. It only took three prints total to get the color balance right. It appears to work with all other pictures without readjustment
A big plus: it does a great job of printing Black & White. I have only one picture that might have a slight sepia tint. That is a very big plus for me. I shoot mostly B&W, with the portability and product; it has helped with many of my film shots.
Two reasons why I did not give it five stars; first, a matte paper would be nice, second, in the preview/adjustment screen it would be nice to see the adjustment of colors to the picture you want to print (not a generic smiling child).
It is worth the cost for these reasons: portability, exceptional quality, ease of use, it is multi-voltage (110-240v) and more importantly, the compatibility with XP.

Good little printer!, June 10, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Canon CP-330 Compact Photo Printer Kit (Office Product)
I like the clear protective coating on the paper. Seems to be waterproof, which I can't say for the other brand of printer that I looked at. I wish it were easier to find the sizes of paper other than 4x6, though, especially since the printer comes with a 4x8 tray.

am i not getting something here?, January 7, 2005
This review is from: Canon CP-330 Compact Photo Printer Kit (Office Product)
I received this printer as a gift, and was very pleased initially.... once i figured the cost per print, i wasn't sure if the convenience outweighed the cost... if you buy the 36 pack of paper and ink (you need to buy these, you can't use just regular photo printer paper) it works out to about 42 cents per... if you send your images to an online processor, it is anywhere from 22 to 29 cents per, and you have a guarantee that if it doesn't come out they will at least reprint it or refund your money. We were able to print out images on Christmas (nice feature, spontaneous and portable) but 2 of the 20 images printed out with a fuzzy on the photograph (which reprinted fine, but we paid for it basically).
the image quality is good, but the convenience factor is really what you are paying for, stock up on bulk packs and it may work out financially...
it is an excellent product, but there are limitations;
cost
size
quality (fuzzies)
other than that, it is a great product
