Canon CP-10 Card Photo Printer

Before purchasing this item, be sure you know what you're getting (I was unfortunately hasty). It's cute and tiny, to be sure, but so are its photos--the size of a credit card. And they're not cheap. The Canon CP-100 is slightly larger but for the extra "O" you're getting newer technology and a printer that offers photos of four different sizes.

The printer dos not more have supplies, and the date for complaints expires. So, I waste my money and I'll try not more buying from the provider. I can recognize the seller in future time.

The Cannon CP-10 is a wonderful printer. The quality of the pictures is fantastic. It also does a great job when printing the mini stickers. The only down fall and the only reason I rated it a 4 and not a 5 is because it is not very easy to find a store that carries the paper/ink set for the printer. Other than that, if you are an instant gratification person this printer is for you.

I bought the larger Canon CD-300 printer less than a year ago for $400. Now, Canon says they will not create an XP driver for it. That is an extremely poor customer server. Anyone making PC-compatible hardware has to be prepared to support it for a reasonable period after they stop selling it. Canon promotes their printers as Microsoft Windows compatible, but the CD-300 doesn't run on the only version of Windows that Microsoft is selling! That is deceptive. I own a Canon digital SLR and digital SureShot. Because of this clear example of how little they care about their customers, they are the last Canon products I will purchase. Today, instead of buying photo paper for my defunct Canon CD-300, I bought the Sony DPP-SV77. It's a great little printer with a pop-up display for much less than the Canon... and Sony has great customer service!

The CP-10 is a great little printer that prints a outstanding quality wallet photo without a hitch. The difference between bordered and borderless prints is that borderless prints a somewhat zoomed version of what your image display window shows so you may experience "head chopping" unless you learn to frame your shots with a little more border around objects. You must be very careful when loading paper so as not to touch the printing surface or a finger print will show up in the finished product. I was surprised at how much detail can be had on a credit card sized photo and find this to be a nice alternative to printing larger more costly images when this size will produce a compact result that serves many purposes. Portability is the key here and I use this with a powershot S110 so in two pockets you have a complete photo system on the go. With optional 12 volt auto adapter you can have instant mobile prints. It does not interface with a PC so you must print direct from digicam making a larger capacity media card a good addition if shooting away from the printer.

I thought of this printer as a gadget. Something I would use a few times and forget. That did not happen as I love this printer. Living overseas doesn't allow me the luxury of 1 hour photo but with this printer I don't have to worry about that. Far exceeded my expectations
