Customer Reviews

I have bought two CP720 for $99.00 each from local store. It has several useful functions like 1.5 inch LCD preview monitor, multi layout control, built in USB cable and card reader... Print quality is excellent with anti-smudge coating, you can not tell the difference with print from Photo Lab or even better. Printing time takes about 2 min. Highly recommend this printer for people who want to print snap photos by themselves. Furthermore, upgrade version CP730 has battery operated option, so you can get nice photo lab quality print at anytime, anywhere.
CONs; 28¢ per print. Easy to get dust spot on the final image while 3 pass print processing. No image Cropping function(But $50 more CP730 has it!)

This printer makes a photo print in less than 1 minute and the quality is pretty good. We noticed the color is a bit off from true color, but if you want truly accurate color reproduction, go to a photo lab!
Complaint 1: You need to be careful about getting dust in the printer and on the paper, because any dust/lint/hair will stay on the prints.
Complaint 2: The paper tray is hard to keep in correct alignment. If you don't get it just right, it won't print.
Complaint 3: The ink/paper that comes with the printer is only enough for 5 prints. So you need to immediately buy more ink/paper.
Praise1: The ink/paper packs print exactly the number of prints they claim, due to how the technology works. You will know the exact cost per print depending on how much you pay for the ink/paper pack.
Praise2: You can see the photo you are about to print on the screen.
Praise3: You can send your photos to the printer in a many different ways (direct from camera, from memory card, via computer).
Praise4: The printer is very portable and compact. Easy to put away when not in use.
