The photo quality is excellent, Canon has improved the wireless setup, and it is full of great features including Canon’s Easy Scroll Wheel, a front side PictBridge/USB port, and two way paper feeding.

Canon PIXMA MX870 Office All-in-One (AIO) merges the classic Pixma design with a more professional look thanks to a semi-glossy dark gray (silver) and matte black casing with a small Canon logo on the front panel and a small Pixma logo on the top panel.

The control panel runs across the front of the MX870 with the 2.5 inch LCD and Easy Scroll Wheel in the center. There are several quick keys for easy faxing, copying or scanning or users can manage the details of each device by selecting the fax, copy, scan or card main menu. Along with the quick keys, there is a numerical key pad, a power button, and a setup button.

The MX870 automatically folds out the output tray before printing (in case you are as forgetful as I am) but you’ll also need it open to access the ink cartridges.

The built-in card reader and PictBridge port are found to the right of the front panel output tray. Pull open the small door to reveal slots compatible with Compact Flash, SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo cards, among others. Below that you’ll find the PictBridge slot that is also compatible with USB flash drives.

However, in a small business, small workgroup in a larger office, or a home office, I think the MX870 could really shine; it’s reasonably quiet and the initial cost (in comparison to a multifunction color laser printer) would save hundreds of dollars. Yes, the ink can be pricey but the Canon PGI and CLI cartridges used in the Pixma line have consistently printed more pages than the cheaper cartridges offered by competitors.

We did not find any difficulty in operating the photo printer is Canon Selphy CP780. The only part of the most difficult and requires us to find clues from the manual is the installation of photo paper in the tray is included.

The rest was easy. Ribbon cartridge, for example, lived pushed into the slot on the right side. Adapter – a fairly heavy – not too much trouble to install, because there’s only jack that fits with the body of this printer. Just that, and the printer is ready for use.

Too bad we do not lend a battery that can make this tiny portable printer can be asked to print the alias without the connected grid. Battery NB-CP2L it must be purchased separately. Be, we could not test the performance of the printer when using battery power. But the battery is said to be enough to print 36 Postcard sized photographs.

We are also sorry that, in the package that we borrowed, there is no USB cable. As a result we could not test the performance of the printer when connected to a computer. Yet at the time this connection, we can use the CD that contains the software to add a border or the effects of other interesting.

Voice guidance is also – through the speakers on the computer – can be found in this condition. Unfortunately because they do not have a USB cable, voice guidance that we get only words that say that the printer is not connected to the computer.

But never mind, forget about the connection with the computer and the portability aspect. We focus only on the facilities available. Printer setup, as we mentioned above, it’s easy.

Three Slot
At the front of dye-sublimation printer – the left – there are three slots, each for CompactFash / Micro Drive, SecureDigital (SD) and Memory Stick (MS). A total of 20 variants of the memory card that can be received and printed the contents directly by the Selphy CP780.

Live push the memory card that we have, then the contents of the card will be read by the printer. Of course, before we’ve had to turn on the printer by pressing the On button is grayed out.

Exit Sign In 4x
When printed, photographic paper will exit / enter the printer four times. First, the paper issued to the rear of the printer, and then drawn in to receive a yellow color printing. The paper then removed again, and went back to red colored. The same process carried out for the blue color. Finally, the paper will exit / entry to receive a special layer (overcoat) is made shiny, and dry immediately.

Oh yeah, do not worry if the photo paper out when you have the Print button press. On the screen will display a message that the paper run out and you are asked to enter a new paper. Photographic paper and then mounted on the tray, direct print process will continue. No need to repeat the process from the beginning.

When working, the printer will sound a bit noisy.

Good Quality
Selphy CP780 print quality is good. The colors appear smooth and accurate tereproduksi. This black color with the exception of the less dense. ‘Deficiency’ is due to black from CMY alloy, and not from its own black color.

***
Having and using a printer Canon Selphy CP780 photo is fun. Fun to see the pictures produced quickly and well.

But two of our records. First, Canon needs to provide a better way of showing images on the LCD screen printer. Maybe there are options as well as some images appear and jump as many images as digital cameras. For if the memory card containing hundreds of images in folders, it would take time picking which one to print it?

Note the second, the price of photo paper packaging and cartridge needs to be pressured by Canon to the cost of printing per share can get closer to the cost of printing the photo booth.

Advantages of Canon Selphy CP780: good print quality; easy operation; can also print wirelessly (Bluetooth) through a dongle.

Disadvantages of Canon Selphy CP780: A bit noisy; packaging inks and special paper; battery optional.
