Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Canon's CP-10 is a dye-sublimation card printer that connects directly to Canon's supported line of digital cameras: Digital IXUS 300 or PowerShot A10, A20, S110, or S300 digital camera. Weighing only 1.1 pounds, this tiny printer has a footprint of 4.2 by 4.9 inches, fitting easily onto any available surface, and it has a five-sheet input capacity for the proprietary credit-card-size paper. Using three-color (CMY) dye-sublimation technology, the CP-10 produces 24-bit color prints at a resolution of 300 x 300 dpi with print speeds of just under a minute for each photo.

Operation is simple, thanks to an easy DIF-100 (direct interface) cable connection to the camera. You first select your image from the print menu and then simply print onto label or standard paper stock. You can easily adjust most settings through menus displayed on your camera's LCD. Choose between borderless and bordered prints or label sheets.

A scratch and fade-resistant overcoat protects your images, while the printer's transparent case lets you (and your family) watch the prints develop. The CP-10 also comes backed with a one-year limited parts and labor warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice little printer that does all it is advertised, March 21, 2002

By	TOM EDWARDS (ROGERS, ND United States) - See all my reviews

The CP-10 is a great little printer that prints a outstanding quality wallet photo without a hitch. The difference between bordered and borderless prints is that borderless prints a somewhat zoomed version of what your image display window shows so you may experience "head chopping" unless you learn to frame your shots with a little more border around objects. You must be very careful when loading paper so as not to touch the printing surface or a finger print will show up in the finished product. I was surprised at how much detail can be had on a credit card sized photo and find this to be a nice alternative to printing larger more costly images when this size will produce a compact result that serves many purposes. Portability is the key here and I use this with a powershot S110 so in two pockets you have a complete photo system on the go. With optional 12 volt auto adapter you can have instant mobile prints. It does not interface with a PC so you must print direct from digicam making a larger capacity media card a good addition if shooting away from the printer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Novelty, January 9, 2003

Amazon Verified Purchase

Before purchasing this item, be sure you know what you're getting (I was unfortunately hasty). It's cute and tiny, to be sure, but so are its photos--the size of a credit card. And they're not cheap. The Canon CP-100 is slightly larger but for the extra "O" you're getting newer technology and a printer that offers photos of four different sizes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great printer!, January 21, 2002

By	handsfull123 (San Juan Capistrano, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The Cannon CP-10 is a wonderful printer. The quality of the pictures is fantastic. It also does a great job when printing the mini stickers. The only down fall and the only reason I rated it a 4 and not a 5 is because it is not very easy to find a store that carries the paper/ink set for the printer. Other than that, if you are an instant gratification person this printer is for you.
