 Basic portable photo printer that prints beautiful photos! November 15, 2008
I bought this printer as part of the Canon pink pack (pink SD1100 camera with this printer, both included in the box). I already had an Epson PictureMate PM280 but I thought it would be cool to have a printer and camera that matched. (Yes, I'm that vain. ggg)
The printer makes BEAUTIFUL high quality photos. It prints quickly and it's a nice little printer, worth the money. You can do basic photo editing on this printer, such as reduce red eye, change colors to B/W, sepia, vivid, ...add the date (or not) but that's all you can do.
You need space in front of the printer to insert the paper cartridge AND you need space behind the printer as well. The paper extrudes out the back at the start of the printing process.
However, I am spoiled by the rechargeable battery in the Epson PM280 printer I already have. It's not a drawback really, to not have battery power in this Canon printer, but if you are taking it to a family reunion picnic you'll need to be sure there is electric power nearby. (I wonder if Canon has a power adapter for this printer to use it in the car...have to check into that...)
Another feature I like about my Epson printer is the editing capabilities. You can change brightness, sharpen, and much much more. And there are cool frames built into the printer you can choose to add to your photos. This is quite comical at times, children love this part. I took a photo of their science teacher and we chose the Peter Pan (Disney) frame when we printed it...the kids thought it was hilarious. We chose the princess frame when we printed the photo of another male teacher...a great time was had by all...except for the teachers of course. GGG
Anyway, I digress... the Canon photo printer is a great basic printer and will work well. You will be very pleased with the print quality. It's outstanding!
 photo printer November 11, 2008
I was very happy with the speed of delivery on my new photo printer. The printer is a perfect size. The only problem i have with the printer is the ink cartridges . they only print out about 8 photos then run out. I didnt realize that part, I had to order more ink right away cause i print out alot of pictures.
Good printer in general but not very satisfied November 7, 2008

I'm still using HP Photosmart A618 to print 5 x 7 & some 4 x 6 photos. I'll not compare the Inkjet technology with Dye-sublimation because the dye-sub is clearly better in image quality even with 300dpi(dye-sub) vs 600dpi(inkjet). but I'll write about what I liked & what I didn't like using Canon brand printer. btw, I print from the PC (fix the exposure, remove noise..etc photos using Lightroom or any other software) and then I use the official software to print.
What I liked:
- The photo is super clear and the printer produces amazing quality (outstanding). you will never be disappointed. I assure you that.
- The printer is fast enough.
- The paper quality is very good and you will not be worried about papers & ink (36 ink cartridge size will print 36 photos, no less no more).
What I didn't like:
- The paper size isn't perfect 4 x 6 (101.6 x 152.4). It's smaller (100mm x 148mm) in Canon and maybe more smaller than that.
I compared the HP 4 x 6 paper with Canon 4 x 6 paper and the HP was bigger by 2-3mm in width and height. I believe that HP produces a better size of 4 x 6 because when I resize any photo to 4 X 6 using any software I get (101.6 x 152.4) which means 1800x1200 ,resolution 300dpi. But When I print this photo size using Canon, the printer will crop automatically 2-5mm from width and height (Canon paper has 2 tabs at the right and left sides which can be removed after you print the photo). The printer will print at least 3mm in the tab area and will crop 2-4mm from the height.
Now if I don't want to lose any part of the photo, I should resize all the photos I have to 1748x1181 (100mm x 148mm). To do this, I must disable the constrain aspect ratio. but this will make my photo worse (a square looks like rectangle).
To override this problem, I must not disable the constrain aspect ratio but I need to make the height exactly 100mm. that's mean I'll sacrifice some (mm) in the both sides of width (if the Canon paper really 100mm height).
- The default colors settings aren't correct (for me the orange color was warm yellow and the warm yellow in the reality was almost green!!). what you see in the PC screen is different than the printed photo. I printed 8 pictures to find the correct settings for me. Raised the contrast, exposure and saturation a little and not equally. still, the final result not perfect but very good. (the colors, contrast and other settings in my monitor is correctly adjusted. mostly as I can see by my eyes).
Final words:
Before you buy any Canon dye-sub printer, take a look in Epson (PM260 or PM280) or the Fuji (QS-70 or QS-7). Check the actual paper size to make sure you get the 99% of the frame in the final result from the printer. You will need to take a photo to any shop and print it by the models you are thinking of. Make sure to set the resolution at 300dpi and the paper size of 4 x 6. Compare the results and choose what you like then.

I bought this printer for a charity event. We took pictures of entering honorees, printed them and framed them as gifts. The picture was fantastic and the color was perfect. Everyone asked me where I got that great little printer. I highly recommend it.
Nice little printer September 17, 2008

I really didn't need a photo printer, I already had one. But this was a gold box deal, and the ratings seemed great. I also wanted something portable, and this is definitely it.
When I got it, I was a bit confused as to how to add the paper cartridge, it isn't explained very well. After a bit of fiddling (the blank cover has to be opened before it is slid in), I finally got the paper in. I then printed one of the pictures I had on my Nokia N95. It pulled the paper in, and out came some yellow stuff. Aha, I thought Yellow, Magenta and Green. But then it pulled it in a fourth time to. My friends told me it was probably black, and that sounds plausible.
The picture is great, I really like what I can do with this. One thing to remember, though, you need space on both sides to feed the paper through. On the "front" side you have the cartridge, but you need space in the back too.
All in all, I am satisfied, and do not regret the purchase.
