Canon Selphy CP740


Summary: The Canon Selphy CP740's dye-sublimation photos compare well with those produced by the more common inkjet technology. The Selphy costs very little to buy ($100 at the time of review), and its replacement supplies are also inexpensive. It's pretty slow, however, and it can be awkward to use. Read the full review
Verdict: It's slow and a bit clunky, but prints look smooth (albeit dark). Cost per print is reasonable.
Pros: ; Inexpensive; Reasonable cost per print
Cons: ; Needs front and rear clearance to print; Slow; photos can look overly dark

Canon Selphy CP740 compact photo printer


Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: Although the Canon Selphy CP740 falls short in various small ways - whether it's the clunky paper tray, the small omissions in the documentation, or the slow print times - it does print a good photo. Its acquisition and supply prices are reasonable, too, which makes it a good value.
