Key Advantages
The Canon SELPHY CP780 provides excellent print quality with dye-sublimation technology ensuring long-lasting photos. Its compact and lightweight design enhances portability for users needing mobility. The built-in 3.2" LCD screen facilitates intuitive photo preview and editing before printing. It supports PictBridge for direct camera connection eliminating computer dependence. The option for battery operation is a standout feature enabling photo printing anywhere. The wide compatibility with media sizes and finishes increases user flexibility for different print needs.
Limitations
While compact, the print speed is not as fast as some laser printers, which may affect high-volume printing tasks. It requires proprietary ink and paper consumables, which can be comparatively costly. The print resolution, although sufficient for photos, is limited to 300 x 300 dpi, not suitable for extremely high-definition printing needs. The connectivity options are somewhat limited, lacking Wi-Fi or Bluetooth present in newer models. There is no capability for scanning or multifunction tasks as it is a dedicated photo printer. The internal memory is minimal, requiring users to select photos directly from connected devices or memory cards.
