The entire range of Selphy products from Canon are compact photo printers and the one we received was the Canon Selphy CP 760. This Selphy is really compact, smaller than the Epson compact printer and also lighter, weighing in at around 950 grams. The CP 760 comes with a 2.5-inch display located on top. This display can't be tilted or rotated, but it already has been positioned at a slight angle which indicates a well thought out design from Canon. The buttons of the printer are located just below the display. There are two USB ports on the lehside of the printer, one to connect to the PC and the other for PictBridge connectivity.

The Canon Selphy CP 760 uses a single ink cassette which IS very different from that which the Epson PM 215 uses. This ink cassette is loaded into the printer from the right side; this is pretty easy, as it just needs to be pushed in and once you hear the click, you are all set.

The Selphy CP 760 also supports direct printing from memory cards, slots for which
are located at the front side of the printer. This printer works with detachable paper cassettes that correspond to specific paper sizes. These will have to be carried separately, if you intend to use this printer on mega.

The paper cassette provided only prints posttcard 4R size, which we found is slightly different from the regular 4 x 6 photo paper. Canon does provide a few sheets of paper so that you can try printing on postcards directly. There are no separate trays for in and out, the single paper cassette functions as both.

This Canon Selphy CP 760 prints in a very different manner with the ink cassette that was mentioned earlier; it prints in layers. Once the print command is given, the paper goes in and only a layer of yellow is printed, with all the yellows present in the image and this is followed by magenta, then cyan and lastly an overcoat is printed that keeps the print safe from water spills and finger prints, generally supposed to give prints a longer lifetime. This is known as dye sublimation.
