Review of Canon CP-100 Digital Photo Printer
I have worked with 3 dyesub printers, the Cannon CD-300, the Sony DV-77, and this printer. This printer produces the best images. Everytime I display prints I get comments on how good they are. The prints are sharp and the color is accurate.
I really like the small size of the printer and being able to use the screen on my G2 to select and trim the pictures. I was able to purchase a Canon camera bag that holds the printer, camera, flash, and paper/ink packs.
Another great feature of the printer/camera combination is the speed of the printing. As soon as I select print on the camera the printer starts printing the picture. With other printers I had to wait for print pre-processing.
A drawback of the printer is that the kit to connect it to a computer is not yet available. I get around that by editing the images on my computer and by using the Canon ZoomBrowser software to copy the images to a compact flash card that I can put in the G2 for printing.
Product Description
The Card Photo Printer CP-100 connects directly to Canon’s range of digital cameras for effortless high-quality photos. Expanding the “Direct Print” printer line-up, the CP-100 offers print size flexibility including 10 x 15 cm (4″ x 6″), credit card size and stickers. By simply connecting the digital camera to the direct printer by means of a dedicated cable and selecting an image, a perfect, borderless print can be delivered and passed around in just over 80 seconds. The CP-100 uses dye-sublimation technology that can re-create photos with millions of colors. The printer builds up a full color image by merging three separate color layers; yellow, magenta and cyan, and then applies a protective layer that adds the durability of a traditional print. The CP-100 assures superb true photo quality prints that look and feel like a traditional silver halide print.
