3.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures, ONE SNAG FEATURE, April 24, 2009

By	C. Luke "Busy Bee" (L.A) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty amazing for $100!, May 21, 2009

By	H. Schiele - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Canon Selphy CP780 Blue Compact Photo Printer (Electronics)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Printer is Great For Portability, June 21, 2009

By	Ms_Ladi "...just wandering the world." - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Because I didn't want to dish out the overpriced dollars for the Canon iP100, I looked for something on a smaller priced scale. I did minimal research because I knew I wanted a Canon.

The latest Canon CP780 does the job it's advertised. My printed photos are rich and colorful. One minute print times are okay, and the paper/ink sets (sold separately) fully coincide with the printer. I haven't had any snags or stuck papers. The printer doesn't take up any space at all in my living space.

A couple of complaints. I agree with other reviewers about some of my photos having cut off heads during printing. It's only a few photos I've had a problem with, but it's not great.

The other issue is the 4x6 photo size. I would love to have the option to print on 3x2 to make for an even more intimate photo collection. Currently, when my photos come up, I have to tweak the settings to print them on half a sheet. Now I have about 50 half sheets of unused photos! And no, you cannot use the other half of the photo for a different picture. It would be nice to have various sample sizes of paper (and cassettes) included in the box.

One more thing is it would be nice to have a battery and bluetooth included. With current technology the way it is, the assumed portability of this printer, I should be able to open the box and start printing without going through the hassle of finding a plug, hooking it up, etc. That's why it's considered portable. I would pay an extra $20 for this printer if those items were included. My opinion.

A note on customer service: My printer for some reason didn't come with the sample 5-sheet print pack, so instead of me sending the printer back, Amazon refunded me a small percentage. I love their customer service!
