Key Advantages
The Canon SELPHY CP740 provides excellent print quality through dye-sublimation technology, producing vivid and durable photos. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for home, event, or travel use. The printer supports direct printing from compatible Canon digital cameras via USB, streamlining the printing process without the need for a PC. It allows borderless printing to maximize photo size without unwanted edges. Fast print speeds deliver a 4x6 inch photo in approximately 47 seconds, supporting instant photo sharing. The use of integrated print sheets ensures consistent results and simplifies maintenance.
Limitations
While portable, the SELPHY CP740 relies on proprietary dye-sub print paper, leading to relatively higher ongoing printing costs compared to inkjet printers. Its photo-only printing focus limits multifunction capabilities such as scanning or document printing. The resolution is optimized for photo prints but not suitable for high-detail graphic prints or text documents. Connectivity options are limited primarily to USB; wireless or network printing is not supported on this model. The maximum paper input capacity is small, requiring frequent paper replacement when printing multiple photos. Additionally, the printer does not support wireless mobile device printing, which limits usability with smartphones or tablets.
