Canon Selphy CP790 Digital Photo Printer

Canon photo printers are typically excellent, and the Selphy CP790 digital photo printer--the high end of the Selphy line--is no exception. It's also at the high end in terms of price for a photo printer, and worth it.

That is not just because the printed photo quality is excellent, or that it's very easy to set up and use, but also because it's the coolest-looking and, perhaps with the exception of the Polaroid Pogo, the most fun, photo printer I have tried.

This top-of-the-line Selphy photo printer compares price-wise with the Sony DPP-FP97 Digital Photo Printer, which puts it between $170-200. The Canon Selphy CP790 is the most luxurious of the Selphy line of compact photo printers and while it doesn't particularly excel past the other Selphy I've tried, it's still worth the extra money. There's something so audacious about a big green bucket that it's hard not to like it.

The Selphy is a dye-sublimation printer--it uses a proprietary ink ribbon and special paper that allows printing from a wide variety of media. A color 4x6 photo took just over one minute to print. Because it's a dye-sublimation printer, the photo comes out of the printer and is pulled back in several times to add new colors to the print. Photos print out with astoundingly rich and deep colors, and were as sharp as any printed photos I have ever seen.

Basic photo-editing features such as red-eye removal, and fun stuff such as frames and calendars, are easy to use via the printer itself--since it is meant to be portable, everything can be done without connecting to a PC.

Since it's meant to be portable (I mean, it's a big green plastic bucket!), it would be nice if Canon would include the battery and the Bluetooth adapter. If you want to go truly portable, you will need to spend another $79.99 for the battery and $49.99 for the Bluetooth adapter. Ink and paper come together; on Canon's site, 36 sheets of paper plus ink are $11.99 (4x6).

About Samsung scx 4500w

Long on design and short on features, the Sam-sung SCX-4500 multifunction laser printer is best suited for light home or office use. Unless you're willing to pay for a showcase printer your money will buy you more features and faster task speeds elsewhere.

The Good: Sleek, sophisticated design; great print and color scan quality.

The Bad: Light feature set for the price; gray scale scan needs to be improved; on the slow side with task speeds; output tray mars the all-black aesthetic; lack of an inboard LCD means you will need to turn to your PC for advanced tasks.

Sam-sung SCX-4500W mufti-function printer:

The ultra-compact Sam sung SCX-4500W wireless laser mulch-function printer is known to be one of the smallest network-ready laser printer/copier/color scanners in the world. The Sam-sung SCX-4500W printer has a high-style glossy piano black finish that adds a touch of class to any environment.

CLP 315 Printers

Samsung's USB-only CLP-315 is one of our all-time favorite color laser printers, but it's about to go off the market. However, the CLP-315w is set to be around for a while longer. It's a particularly compact device, but the downside of this is it’s.

Vibrant, professional color is now within your reach. The compact, built-in wireless SAMSUNG CLP-315W can easily fit in small places.

This stylish printer also features a black control panel and delivers dynamite color at 4ppm with sharp laser text at 17 ppm. And its wireless connectivity means no unsightly cords to deal with.

The Sam sung CLP-315W is a fancy looking wireless laser printer with a clean design and small footprint, but the output quality is unacceptable and the blisteringly slow speeds will have you searching for other options.
