Canon's CP-10 is a dye-sublimation card printer that connects directly to Canon's supported line of digital cameras: Digital IXUS 300 or PowerShot A10, A20, S110, or S300 digital camera. Weighing only 1.1 pounds, this tiny printer has a footprint of 4.2 by 4.9 inches, fitting easily onto any available surface, and it has a five-sheet input capacity for the proprietary credit-card-size paper. Using three-color (CMY) dye-sublimation technology, the CP-10 produces 24-bit color prints at a resolution of 300 x 300 dpi with print speeds of just under a minute for each photo.
Operation is simple, thanks to an easy DIF-100 (direct interface) cable connection to the camera. You first select your image from the print menu and then simply print onto label or standard paper stock. You can easily adjust most settings through menus displayed on your camera's LCD. Choose between borderless and bordered prints or label sheets.
A scratch and fade-resistant overcoat protects your images, while the printer's transparent case lets you (and your family) watch the prints develop. The CP-10 also comes backed with a one-year limited parts and labor warranty.
Before purchasing this item, be sure you know what you're getting (I was unfortunately hasty). It's cute and tiny, to be sure, but so are its photos--the size of a credit card. And they're not cheap. The Canon CP-100 is slightly larger but for the extra "O" you're getting newer technology and a printer that offers photos of four different sizes.
