Great printer
on October 28, 2009
Posted by: Jenn
from Burbank, CA
I bought this printer to replace my Selphy CP510, which I loved but have a terrible time finding paper and cartridges for now that it's an older model. So I bought the 780. The advances in technology from the 510 are huge. The card slots are super convenient since I have Nikons in addition to Canon cameras and the Nikon could not connect directly to the 510 to print. Now I don't even need my laptop to print pics because the direct-from-card printing is much improved from the 510. Love this printer. Love it!
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Sharp Tones & Colors, fantastic value for the $
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this printer figuring that I would use it on my boat when we have guests. Just needed it for the occasional print. Turns out that I love this little printer and have been using it at work and home as well. Print quality is excellent! Color rendition is very good. Ease of use is also excellent. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple to use high quality color card printer.
Pros: Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: software needs a little tweeking

Superior Product

Purchased this product a couple of days ago and installed it on both my Vista PC and my wife's Apple computer. Absolutely the easiest product to install and use, and there was even a voice to guide me. Had to dump my previous compact printer that the manufacturer deemed to old (5-6 yrs) for providing a Vista driver. Only one paper/dye pack for 5 prints comes with the printer, so be sure to include the 100 pack with your purchase. Cost/print turns out to be less than 30 cents.
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Sharp Tones & Colors
Cons: none

Great Compact Printer
on May 23, 2009

Printer was received 5.22.09, unpacked and setup after reading the manual. First, my complements to the package designer. FedEx could have thrown it from the truck, bounced it on the sidewalk and it wouldn’t have hurt it. I installed the color ink cassette and initial pack of 4x6 sheets. Inserted an SD card, selected the photo to print and was shocked to hear the printer hum and spit out a bright yellow sheet! But it drew it back in and then out for four passes. Out came a perfect color print. Takes about a minute. There is a little decrease in the original size of the photo. I selected four others for individual printing and all were great – focused, clear, good colors. The supplied cassette does the first five printouts perfectly with the initial pack of 5 - 4x6 sheets. I had ordered the pack of 108 sheets with ink, so removed the spent cassette and installed a new one along with additional sheets. Very easy and convenient. Recycled plastic cassette.
Following instructions, I installed software on a computer, connected printer to computer and proceeded with a few more prints. Software allows some adjustments such a print size, and zoom to eliminate unwanted features around the subject. Works great and resulting photos are clear, without distortion. Other software features are offered such as combining a photo with a calendar on a 4x6 card or adding borders.
So far I’m completely satisfied with the CP780 and it performs quite well. Plan to take it on the road which will be easy.

I wanted something that could print a quick photo with great quality printing. This printer does the trick and for the price you can't beat it. I purchased one for my father who is not very advanced with technology because it was so simple to use.
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, Easy Setup, easy to use, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors
Cons: does't print bigger pictures

A Road Warrior's New Best Friend

I received the printer 05/30/09, so I've had it less than a week.
I typically travel with my camera, laptop, and IP90 printer loaded in a sturdy backpack. I purchased the CP-780 because I was making more 4x6 prints than any other size in the field. My preferred workflow is to work from a raw file downloaded to my laptop, and then print. While I still love my IP90, the new CP-780 has proven to be perfect for my needs.

The software is simple and fun to work with, as is the printer itself. Colors are rich, vibrant, and true to what I see on my screen. Images are professionally sharp and snappy. They pop. I've shown the prints and the printer off to everybody, and, just like me, they are floored when they actually see the speed and quailty of output from this cute little device. Give this printer a quality file, it will give you a very high quality print in return. But, just like everything else digital; garbage in = garbage out. Love it!

Simplist printer I have bought

from Arlington, TX
I have had this printer for several days. Very easy to setup and use right out of the box. I like being able to use a camera, card, or computer to print a picture. Most people only want to see 4 x 6's photographs and not look though a stack of large photo's. I will use my larger photo printer for anything over 4 x 6 prints. It does print really nice photographs that I think are amazing! I find the speed of the printing to be very reasonable. The small size is just right for where I do my work. It is a great easy to use photo printer.
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Sharp Tones & Colors
