REVIEW

As a group, small-format dedicated photo printers are built around one of two technologies—thermal dye or ink jet. There used to be significant differences between the two on everything from output quality to cost per photo. Today, they've converged to the point where there's hardly any difference. Just in case you have a preference, however, Canon will happily sell you either kind of printer. The Canon Selphy ES2 ($199.99 direct) falls in the thermal dye category.

Bottom Line

The Canon Selphy ES2 dedicated photo printer offers an attractive combination of features, but not enough to make it a slam-dunk choice.

Pros

Print pack holds both dye roll and paper. Highly water-resistant. Reasonably low cost per page.

Cons

Bigger than most small-format thermal dye printers. Diagonal lines (like spokes of a wheel) print with jagged edges.
