SELPHY Photo Printers: Everything You Need to Know

By John Alston


Talking about printers always ends up in the name Canon, one way or another. The company has a very good reputation when it comes to the digital imaging industry, and they took a step forward when they manufactured printers. The company has even produced printers which are especially produced for photo printing, and SELPHY models are some of the best devices in this category.

SELPHY photo printers are perfect for travel photo printing because they are especially engineered for that purpose. Their small sizes and lightweight structures are very ideal for anytime, anywhere printing. Professional photographers and enthusiasts alike are very fond of using these devices because they can produce beautiful, solid, and color-rich photos no matter where or when. Here are the five models of SELPHY photo printers and their overviews.

The SELPHY CP800 has an ordinary rectangular shape and it also has a tilt-up 2.5'' LCD display. The device is the lightest and most compact of all SELPHY models and it comes in black and white colors. It has a print speed of 47 seconds for borderless 4'' x 6'' photos and it can shuffle different sizes of ID pictures to make them fit in one postcard size paper.

The SELPHY CP780 is similar in shape and simplicity although the 2.5'' LCD display of this device isn't tilt-up. It has more color options of silver, blue, and pink, adding a personal touch to the printer. It can print 4'' x 6'' photos in a speed of 47 seconds and it can also print ID photos.

The SELPHY CP790 is more unique with a pail-shaped design and an apple green color. The pail serves as a storage space and also provides a handle while the lid of the pail is the device itself. The printer has a 3.0'' embedded LCD display and it has an easy scroll wheel which makes it simpler to operate. This device also has built-in infrared connectivity apart from all standard connectivity options that every other SELPHY has, which includes PictBridge, USB, memory card slots, and optional Bluetooth.

The SELPHY ES40 is also unique with an egg-shaped design and a carrying handle. Its AC adapter is integrated which is different from most other models. Its 3.5'' LCD display is embedded, it has an easy scroll wheel, and it even has voice command which makes it easier to operate. It has several programs included for photo printing such as DIGIC II, Creative Print, and Gold/Silver Print.

The SELPHY ES3 has an almost exact appearance as that of the ES40 model including the easy scroll wheel and 3.5'' LCD display. But this device has built-in infrared connectivity, adding more wireless capability to it as compared to other models. But it doesn't have DIGIC II even if it has the other photo printing programs. It also has built-in memory which enabled you to save photos directly in the device for future use.

These different SELPHY photo printers are specifically designed for photo printing on the go, which is why they are popularly used by professionals who have a lot of affairs. These devices are excellent in their functions and for their very good prices, there's no regret in investing on these photo printers.
