Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon card photo printer CP-100 connects directly to several Canon PowerShot digital cameras and is sufficiently light and compact to go anywhere you take your camera (printer battery pack not included). All print settings are made directly from the camera's LCD, obviating the need for a computer and simplifying the process of obtaining high-quality color prints.

With its cool translucent blue case and metallic styling, the CP-100 is the ultimate imaging accessory for Canon digital cameras, including PowerShot models A40, A30, and A100. You can choose from three print sizes: 4 by 6 inches, credit-card size, and the smaller label size. Using dye-sub print technology, the printer produces credit card-size prints in just 40 seconds and full-color postcard-size prints in 81 seconds.

Other features include the ability to produce card-size labels and mini-labels (photo stickers) for added imaging fun. The CP-100 applies a clear UV overcoat to each print for extended longevity. You also have a choice of bordered or borderless prints, and the CP-100 is compatible with DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) to facilitate batch printing, e-mail transfers, and print ordering through online photo labs.

Optional accessories for the Canon CP-100 printer include a dedicated battery, computer connection kit, and car battery adapter. The unit is backed by a one-year warranty.

Product Description
The Card Photo Printer CP-100 connects directly to Canon's range of digital cameras for effortless high-quality photos. Expanding the "Direct Print" printer line-up, the CP-100 offers print size flexibility including 10 x 15 cm (4" x 6"), credit card size and stickers. By simply connecting the digital camera to the direct printer by means of a dedicated cable and selecting an image, a perfect, borderless print can be delivered and passed around in just over 80 seconds. The CP-100 uses dye-sublimation technology that can re-create photos with millions of colors. The printer builds up a full color image by merging three separate color layers; yellow, magenta and cyan, and then applies a protective layer that adds the durability of a traditional print. The CP-100 assures superb true photo quality prints that look and feel like a traditional silver halide print.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality printing but.., November 3, 2002

By A Customer

I recently bought the CP-100 based only on a whim (thought it looked cool and would be great to have instant photos)and also because i owned a canon digital camera. I have tried it out and found the printing quality to be excellent but.. i am now finding it hard to find the ink cartidges and paper* compatible with this product.. hopefully as this product becomes more popular, its accessories will be readily available (amazon.com, please dont sell products without supporting accessories like paper and cartridges, thanks!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very high quality images, November 10, 2002

By	"buthomp2" (Fishers, IN United States) - See all my reviews

I have worked with 3 dyesub printers, the Cannon CD-300, the Sony DV-77, and this printer. This printer produces the best images. Everytime I display prints I get comments on how good they are. The prints are sharp and the color is accurate.

I really like the small size of the printer and being able to use the screen on my G2 to select and trim the pictures. I was able to purchase a Canon camera bag that holds the printer, camera, flash, and paper/ink packs.

Another great feature of the printer/camera combination is the speed of the printing. As soon as I select print on the camera the printer starts printing the picture. With other printers I had to wait for print pre-processing.

A drawback of the printer is that the kit to connect it to a computer is not yet available. I get around that by editing the images on my computer and by using the Canon ZoomBrowser software to copy the images to a compact flash card that I can put in the G2 for printing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Photos that truly look and feel professional., April 18, 2003

By	A. Olmos (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This printer produces 4X6 prints on postcard paper that look like they came from a photo lab. The quality is fantastic, and the relatives were in awe. I am very very happy with the printer and the Canon S400 camera I use it with. I now have a portable print studio. Do not confuse this printer with ink jet printers. It uses dye sublimation, a completely different printing process. The result is something that looks and feels like a glossy photo postcard, not a piece of paper. You don't put ink in it, so there is no ink to jam your print nozzles since neither exist in this printer. You buy the equivalent of ink and paper in kits made from Canon. (KP-36IP, for example)
