Canon Selphy CP400

Canon Selphy CP400

REVIEW

Add the Canon Selphy CP400 ($149 direct) to the growing list of dedicated photo printers for 4- by 6-inch photos. Similar in many ways to other printers in this category, it's easy to set up and use; it can print directly from PictBridge cameras or from computers (but not memory cards); and its output is smudge- and waterproof thanks to thermal-dye technology (also known by the misnomer "dye sublimation"). It also brings a few extra tricks to the table, including the ability to print on a variety of paper sizes, from credit card size to 4 by 8 inches (though most people print at 4-by-6).

Bottom Line

The Canon Selphy CP400 gets most things right for a printer designed for up to 4- by 8-inch photo output. It prints quickly, and most photos qualify as excellent, but cost per print is relatively high.

Pros

Prints from PictBridge cameras. Easy to set up and use. Thermal-dye output is smudge- and waterproof. Photos double as postcards.

Cons

Doesn't print from memory cards. As with most thermal-dye printers, print cost is relatively high. Output quality is uneven.
