Amazon.com Product Description

Canon's compact CP-330 prints pictures quickly and easily from either your computer or directly from a digital camera, virtually anywhere. Using 300-dpi dye-sublimation technology with 256 levels of color, the printer renders skin tones, shadings, and fine details with professional-looking accuracy. A transparent water- and fade-resistant coating offers added protection against the damaging effects of sunlight and humidity. <table width="100%" border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td width="58%" height="213" align="left" valign="top">

Connect the printer to your computer via standard USB cable or directly to your PictBridge-compliant camera. Printer drivers and Canon software for both PCs and Mac are included with the printer. In PictBridge mode, the camera features an Automatic Dynamic Range Correction function that optimizes the print image information sent from the camera, producing brighter, sharper, better-looking prints.

With its rechargeable batteries, the CP-330 becomes fully mobile; the lithium-ion battery pack delivers up to 90 minutes when fully charged. Whether you're on-the-go or at your desk, you can create prints in a variety sizes: wide (4 by 8 inches), postcard (4 by 6 inches), credit card (with or without borders), credit card labels, and mini labels. You'll get completed prints in just 85 seconds (40 seconds for credit card size).

Excellent.......2005-03-16

I agree with all the reviews that say good things about this printer. For this printer to do its magic you really do need to have taken a snap that is well exposed in the first place. I have been amazed at some of the quality photographs produced. This printer does an amazing job on skin-tones. I have been disappointed with some land-scape shots, but they were realistic. I need to hone my photography skills more, perhaps. There is one amazing feature this printer has and no review, I have read yet, mentioned it i.e. the paper-tray doubles as a photo-paper holder (by folding over the flap) which stores your photo-paper and protects it from dust when it is not being used. Dust is the big enemy of photo-printing.

The only thing that prevented me giving this printer 5 stars was the cost of paper & ink and so far I have only being able to purchase them on line. Buying the large 108 pack does bring the price down and buying a few of them (if you can afford it) keeps the cost of post & packaging down also.

For portability, elegance and production it is one of the best photo printers out there at the moment.

Paper Doesn't Fit Printer!!!.......2005-02-19

Canon suggests you buy 4x6 Paper to fit the printer. They don't give you a cartridge to use the paper with. They give you a postcard size and a Wide Size. They also only give you a ink cartridge to print 5 pictures worth. You would think with a printer that costs this much they could give you a proper cartridge, suggest the right paper to use and give you an actual ink cartridge that lasts at least 24 pictures!!

I received this printer as a gift, and was very pleased initially.... once i figured the cost per print, i wasn't sure if the convenience outweighed the cost... if you buy the 36 pack of paper and ink (you need to buy these, you can't use just regular photo printer paper) it works out to about 42 cents per... if you send your images to an online processor, it is anywhere from 22 to 29 cents per, and you have a guarantee that if it doesn't come out they will at least reprint it or refund your money. We were able to print out images on Christmas (nice feature, spontaneous and portable) but 2 of the 20 images printed out with a fuzzy on the photograph (which reprinted fine, but we paid for it basically).
the image quality is good, but the convenience factor is really what you are paying for, stock up on bulk packs and it may work out financially...
it is an excellent product, but there are limitations;
cost
size
quality (fuzzies)

other than that, it is a great product

First, if you shoot a SLR Digital and want a quick turn around for a proof, this is your printer (especially in the field).

The only calibration/setting that I have needed to do is in the Brightness and Red. It only took three prints total to get the color balance right. It appears to work with all other pictures without readjustment

A big plus: it does a great job of printing Black & White. I have only one picture that might have a slight sepia tint. That is a very big plus for me. I shoot mostly B&W, with the portability and product; it has helped with many of my film shots.

Two reasons why I did not give it five stars; first, a matte paper would be nice, second, in the preview/adjustment screen it would be nice to see the adjustment of colors to the picture you want to print (not a generic smiling child).

It is worth the cost for these reasons: portability, exceptional quality, ease of use, it is multi-voltage (110-240v) and more importantly, the compatibility with XP.

Professional Quality Photos.......2004-06-24

I love having my own photo lab at home! This printer is simply fantastic and produces photos that look great. In fact, I can hardly tell the difference from the photos printed with my CP-330 and the ones I've had professionally developed. Photos come out incredibly sharp and colorful.

My favorite feature on this printer is the fact that I can plug my camera directly into it to print a photo that was taken mere moments before. It is so much fun to take photos and then almost immediately be able to have and share a print of it.

If you are looking for an easy to use, high quality photo printer, this would be the perfect choice.
