The Canon Selphy CP800 is an ultra-compact photo printer capable of producing images of very high quality. While some people are forecasting the death of printers due to the growth in mobile LCD tablets, if you like to look at your photos in good old fashioned hard copy, this may be the product for you.
Canon are well known for their range of printers, which come in a huge selection of different sizes and prices. The Selphy CP800 is definitely on the small and inexpensive side of the spectrum, which is why it is so useful as a laptop accessory. If you are sick of lining up at kiosks to print your photos, your life might be about to get much easier.
The Canon Selphy CP800 comes with a creative ‘shuffle’ feature, which allows users to select images and have them laid out in a collage style. Either 8 or 20 images can be chosen for this effect, with the option of either a white or black background. Image optimisation has also been improved, with improved noise reduction technology, enhanced contrast correction, and a number of other image enhancement features.
The Canon Selphy CP800 also comes with a new tilt style LCD screen, which is great for selecting and viewing your images prior to printing. There is also the ability to print photos directly from a USB flash drive and an SDXC card, which is likely to be a great time saver for lots of people.
However, the number one feature of the Selphy CP800 is its compact size, which makes it an ideal laptop accessory. There is even an optional battery pack for when you are printing on the move. Gone are the days where printers were only of one type – huge, ugly, and cumbersome. The Canon Selphy CP800 is going on sale some time in September for the enticing price of $99.99.
