If you know anything about portable photo printers, then you have likely heard of the Canon Selphy CP760. It has a reputation as being great for families on vacation, as well as for those who like to take pictures of family and friends while at home. What most people don’t realize is that it can also be beneficial to some traveling businesspeople. Anyone in need of high quality photo prints while on the road has an opportunity to purchase a high quality machine at very affordable prices.

Other standard portable photo printers cost between $200 and $500. Direct thermal portable printers range from $400 to $700. The CP760 can be found for only $78 on Amazon. That being the case, if you’re into cutting expenses without downgrading quality, it’s an excellent machine to consider.

If you’re overly concerned with quality, then the following information should ease your mind. The Canon Selphy CP760 is a dye-sublimation photo printer with maximum resolution of 300 x 300 dots per inch. That said, with dye-sublimation technology, you would be getting over 256 levels of colors, which isn’t possible with an inkjet. In addition to that, you will have an opportunity to enhance your photos manually by using the 2.5-inch display. If you prefer not to manually enhance photos, it will be done for you via the auto-enhance feature. All photos will be water-resistant and resist fading for up to 100 years.

The standard size printed on the CP760 is 4 x 6 inches. However, you can print photos up to 4 x 8 inches. Your media type options will be as follows: photo paper, photo stickers, photo postcard paper, and business cards. When printing photos, it’s recommended that you use high quality paper, which is the case with any photo printer. The better paper you use the better results you’re going to get. A good option is the Canon KP-108IN Color Ink Paper Set. This will give you 108 4 x 6 photos.

The CP760 is 7.9 x 3.3 x 6 inches and it weighs only 2.1 lbs., making it one of the most portable photo printers in the world.
