I got tired of sending prints to the drugstore and getting mediocre quality, so I decided to see if I could manage it better with a printer at home. Even after I bought it, I was skeptical of what kind of results I'd get, but I was totally wowed. The prints are vivd, crisp, and gorgeous. I absolutely love it. The only qualm I have is the cropping issue another reviewer lamented about. If printing directly from the printer, you don't have many editing options. (It's designed for the less technically inclined.) Printing from a computer lets you be more specific as far as indicating the print area on your photo, but the 4x6 sizing is not conducive to digital images. You're going to lose part of your picture no matter what. Even so, it's incredible for the price, so I'm happy to sing it's praises.

The Selphy printer prints turn out quite nice, but I had a few issues.

Pros:
Easy of use
Good quality
Small and light
Speed is decent (the new ink jets are now faster then the Selphy)
Great price for the printer, I even found it at the local store for the same price as Amazon

Cons:
not quite 4X6 prints (the are slightly smaller)
only holds 18 sheets of paper at atime
Ink and paper is kind of expensive, and not always easy to find.
The highest amount of prints per ink package is 36 (that's the biggest ink ribbon I found).

If you need a true 4X6 printer, then this will not work, and if you need to print large quantities, this is not a good printer for the job.

Hi! I Researched for months before landing back on this Canon Selphy CP 780 printer. If you read enough info on the ink vs dye sublimation, you will find that most net reviews are going with dye for crispness, holding true to color, and longevity. I was nervous to try this method,as been an ink jetter for so long, but think about it.. dots per square inch, versus complete ribbon layering coverage.. its amazing to watch this thing print. My main focus was wanting CLEAR crisp quality in my photos. I did not want my children's cute summer tan photos, to have their skin look pale.. I wanted true color, and got it. From opening the box to set up, to a print in my hand was like 4 minutes.
I LOVE the way the prints look... HOWEVER>>>>>>>>>>
the Canon Selphy cp780, has 2 types of print settings. WITHOUT a border, which prints a true 4x6 print, or with a border, which modifies the print to a 3x5, and a nice white border around the pboto.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR SUBJECTS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE PHOTO, AND THEY ARE NOT TOTALLY CENTERED (WHICH WITH KIDS, ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME ON ACTION SHOTS) THE 4X6 SIZE PRINT WILL CUT OFF THE HEAD, AND NOT PRINT TRUE TO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE VIEWING BOX.
I spent much time speaking with CANON about this setting, and they offer no trim settings, other than what I mentioned with the border, thus forcing me to send back my wonderful (otherwise) selphy.
It will be missed, but not for a large amount of photos that are really 3x5 not 4x6 size. It was simply cutting out too much of some pictures..
so bye bye canon.. Not sure what else I will find.. but surely will stick to dye sublimation print quality.
