Summary: The Canon Selphy CP400 gets most things right for a printer designed for up to 4- by 8-inch photo output. It prints quickly, and most photos qualify as excellent, but cost per print is relatively high.

Summary: Excellent print results and reasonable running costs for a dye-sublimation printer mean this unit is hard to beat if you are after photo-lab quality prints.

CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Compact Photo Printers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of compact photo printer.

Digital photographer

Any inkjet printer can print photos in color, but if you want results that approach professional photofinishing, you'll need a printer that is designed to reproduce the full dynamic range of photographs. If you're in the market for an enthusiast printer, you need to look at the gamut and characteristics of the ink set, the supported papers, and the color-management tools. If you plan to purchase only one printer or are a serious hobbyist, a letter-size inkjet printer is your best bet, since it can also handle routine printing tasks. Many use thermal dye-transfer technology (also known as dye sublimation) in which heat changes the physical state of solid inks until they infuse specially coated paper, solidifying as they cool. Snapshot printers can print directly from compatible digital cameras.
