Canon Cp760 - cheap can equal good quaility

Don’t think that your picture will look like the ones printed on regular printers. No, this is a photo printer and the quality of the finished photo is very good. But i takes time: a 4×6 inch picture (post card’s dimensions) will be printed in almost 80 seconds. Yes, that’s quite slow, because the special photo paper goes four times through the printing process. The first three times are for the three basic colors, and the last time, the photo is finished by adding an extra protector film.

When you pull the picture out of the printer, you can touch it and see that the color does not spot as you were used from the regular ink printers. Therefore, pictures last for a longer period of time. Canon Selphy CP760 has an USB connector, so you can plug it into your PC or in your photo camera. Also, it can print pictures directly from a stick or from a card.

You can find canon photo paper in almost any shop that sells photo cameras or printers. A three cartridge set enough for 108 photo papers costs approximately $30 . The Canon Selphy CP760 usually costs around $120, but you can get it on Amazon for just $40 for a limited period of time (not sure how long will the stocks last at this price).
