Key Advantages

The Canon CP1200 offers excellent print quality owing to its dye-sublimation technology, ideal for vibrant photographic prints. Its compact and lightweight design makes it extremely portable for mobile professionals and on-the-go printing needs. Wireless printing capabilities promote convenience and compatibility across various device platforms including iOS and Android. The printer's support for borderless printing enhances visual appeal without unwanted margins. Its LCD interface simplifies operation, reducing complexity for everyday users. Additionally, optional battery power extends its usage beyond fixed office environments.

Limitations

Despite its portability, the Canon CP1200 is limited to photo printing and not suitable for standard document printing tasks. It typically handles only smaller media sizes up to 4x6 inches, restricting versatility for larger format needs. The reliance on dye-sublimation consumables can result in higher operational costs compared to inkjet or laser printers. Its print speed, while reasonable for photos, may be slow for higher volume usage or rapid output demands. Wireless connectivity requires network setup which may pose a slight barrier for non-technical users. Lastly, the device’s discontinued status limits support options and availability of replacement parts.
