The photos produced by this printer move home digital photography into a new realm. They are as good, or better, than 35mm prints. The brilliant vivid saturated colors have to be seen to be appreciated, and they also have an archival coating.

The prints are a bit expensive at $0.55 each, but since you only print the good ones, and you can modify the image before printing, I think it is worth it. Maybe if everybody buys one the media will get cheaper. It is quite slow but you can batch print. Of course the prints are 4X6 inches maximum, but that is 98% of what I print.

I did have a problem during installation due to a conflict with my HP5550 USB printer. Make sure to turn off the HP printer manager or it won''t work. Direct printing from a camera is extremely easy, so you can make prints for friends.

Buy Canon CP-200 Photo Printer Now

We bought this unsure of what results we would get....We first purchased a Canon A70 digital camera and then this little photo printer. We are very impressed. The prints are as a good as any print shop photos. Its portable and its fun to print out pics for your family and friends on the spot.

The main reason we stayed away from inkjet for family pics is lifespan (25yrs). These pics are coated with a protective layer good against UV and moisture.

The printer itself is wonderful, you could almost fit it in your pocket. The problem is, you have to plug it into the wall, and you have to plug it into your camera. It cost a lot less than the battery powered canon photo printer. So for me, it is worth having to plug it in. Next, it really does print in 90 seconds, once it starts to print, but figure up to another 90 seconds to get the data from your camera into the printer. Next, you can give the photo a bath in water and it will come out just fine. But don''t be tricked into thinking that a $129 printer is going to do as good as the $129,000 developing machines. Sometimes, the photos will surprise you at how good they are though.

Having said all of that, once you get it plugged in, and the photo into the printer, the party does begin. The photo goes back and forth three time, first yellow, then red, and then blue. That makes you wonder, how did they do that. How do they know just the right amount of color to use.

Then if you can get over the fact you paid about fifty cents for a print, it is sort of a nice print. On borderless prints it does flatten the photo a bit. Canon says it stretches the photo out to the border. The solution for this is to print with a border. The photo will not go to the edge of the paper, but you will not have a photo that is stretched or flattened to fit the 4 by 6 size. SLR camera of course are already 4 by 6, my point and shoot is 4.5 by 6. I would rather they cut or crop the .5 off, rather than to "stretch" or flatten the photo.

This printer it is pretty solid, it looks like it will hold up pretty good. As if Cannon is hoping to be able to sell you lots of paper and ribbons. I am sure that you will pay Cannon $500 to $1000 for supplies before this printer would ever start to get old or wear out.

They are durable photos, I am sure 100 people could handle them and they would not show to much wear and tear. This is a party trick, there is no doubt about it. If your looking for a WOW effect for your next get together, go for it. If you want to keep feeding your money into this little gem, I am sure it will keep giving you photos to pass around to your friends.

I would like to see the price of the photos come down closer to the 29 cents it cost to get digital photo''s developed at the online servies where we can set up our photo albums. Or at our local Target or Walmart store. I just wonder if the WOW effect is worth paying the extra price. But I hear there are people who sell these photos out in the clubs for $10, so I suppose you could turn it into a profitable business.

The technical support at Canon is very good, if you need any help getting your cp-200 set up with your computer or camera. Their software is reasonable to work with, I have seen a lot worse photo software out there. It works with your computer just fine, if you want to hook it up to the computer.

Want Canon CP-200 Photo Printer Discount?

I got the Canon powershot A60 for christmas, so i got this afterwards to go along with it. There are alot of hidden things not mentioned that made me waste almost 40 dollars. The camera to the printer...is a great print. But when i purchased the printer, i purchased canon 4 by 6 paper, that is not "postcard paper" and it does not work. It says the printer is out of paper. there''s 12.99 wasted. then i bought "card size" paper and ink....and found out you need a "card size paper cassette" to print with that paper, which is not included, and i cannot find it for purchase. there''s another 19.99 blown.

I loaded the software on my laptop, an HP pavillion. Since i purchased, on 12/30, i have not been able to print via my computer. Once i finally got my computer to recognize the printer was hooked up, it still wouldnt print. It says to check the power. I''ve done all the troubleshooting and used all the "help" options. I''ve had my father fiddle with it, to no avail. i can still not print from my computer.

All in all, even though i get pretty good prints(which sometimes have ink splotches) ...this is more hassle then 179.00 is worth. I think it was too expensive and they didnt put enough thought into what was included(i had to drop another 20 bucks for a USB hook up, to attach the printer to the computer), and were not specific about the paper and ink. if i could i''d return it and get something a little more user friendly...

I used this printer with my Digital Rebel. It fed the paper almost immediately and started the printing process. Photos were done quickly. I find it valuable when visiting friends and family. I am able to leave photographic memories immediately. As for the price of photos, I don''t print every photo that I take, only ones that I can''t wait to print before I get home on my computer. This is definitely a nice little tool that can even be put in your camera bag. Don''t expect to find cheaper replacement ribbons on the third party printer cartridge sites.
