canon-selphy-cp780

If you want a dedicated printer just for printing photos then this Canon release is worth checking out. It is light and compact enough to carry around and it even offers a battery option so you can print on the move. It is capable of producing high quality prints in color at 4 x 6 inches in just 47 seconds. It is very easy to use thanks to the 2.5 inch LCD which allows you to set up jobs. You can also load images for print via the memory card slot, the PictBridge connection or the optional wireless Bluetooth unit.

It comes in silver, blue or red and the prints it produces are water resistant. You can even edit your images before printing using a variety of effects including the option to switch to black & white or sepia tone and the ability to improve portraits with brightness, contrast and red eye correction. Printing directly from the printer when going for larger shots may cause cropping so this is worth watching out for. Otherwise this seems like a decent wee product and at $74.95 well worthwhile for people who print a lot of photos.

Polaroid CZA-10011B PoGo Instant Mobile Printer

Posted Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 by simon

polaroid printer

The original selling point of the old Polaroid cameras was their ability to produce prints almost instantly. This small device continues the tradition producing full bleed borderless images that are dry to the touch in around 1 minute. The idea is that you use this portable printer with your mobile phone and send the images via Bluetooth. It is PictBridge enabled as well so you can transfer photos from a camera via USB. The 2 x 3 inch photos it produces are water resistant, tear proof and smudge proof.

This device only costs $29.99 on Amazon right now but as with the original camera the problem is the special packs of film you have to buy. They are called ZINK which apparently stands for Zero Ink and you get a pack of 10 with the printer. You can actually get a pack of 50 for about $15 so they aren’t too expensive to restock. The image quality produced by the printer is not amazing but for some quick fun snaps on the go it does the job.
