This review is from: Canon SELPHY CP800 Compact Photo Printer – Black (Personal Computers)
Bought this Canon CP800 photo printer to replace my Kodak Printer-dock Series 3 that gave up the ghost. So far I’m really pleased with the purchase, it works well and the consumables are cheaper than Kodak (that incidentally are now obsolete by Kodak). The Canon software driver works perfectly on my Windows XP system, which could not be said the same for the Kodak. The Kodak driver was ropey to say the least. Overall, very impressed and highly recommended. These dye sublimation photo printers are becoming hard to find at under £100. I’m assuming that the availability of high street automated photo booths are killing the demand for these kind of printers. The C800 has only been released by Canon late this year (about Aug 2010) so ongoing support and availability of paper and dye cartridges (unlike Kodak) should not be a problem, at least for a while yet.

Good product which does what it is intended to. the cost per picture is .22 pence for ink and paper which is acceptable the print quality is very acceptable and the four pass print process seems to deliver every time. You only know quality after hundereds of prints and at this time I have only done 20 but all of these are good. A dedicated 6 by 4 printed is what I wanted and what I got. Instalation was so simple anyone could do it, just by following instructions.

This printer specifically prints 6×4 photgraphs, but can do 1,2, or 4 photos per sheet. It’s easy to set up and use. Quality is excellent.
There are only two down sides: 1) the pack of paper and cartidges is relatively expensive, buy 4 and you have exceeded the price of the printer.
2) It works well from the camera or a USB memory stick. However if you want load photos from a computer, the software supplied only lets you select from one directory. If you switch directories, you lose any photos selected in the other directories. Despite playing around with this for a while, I found the best solution was to transfer the selected photos onto a USB stick and go from there.
