Quick prints, pretty good quality. 
2008-01-10
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.
Praise#1: 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.
Praise#2: You can see the photo you are about to print on the screen.
Praise#3: You can send your photos to the printer in a many different ways (direct from camera, from memory card, via computer).
Praise#4: The printer is very portable and compact. Easy to put away when not in use.
Fantastic portable printer- great printouts!

We original bought a lower model of the selphy for our daughter. When I saw the prints from hers, I had to get one for myself. This printer is simple to use (comes with nice little editing program), very portable and prints great prints.
I've seen reviews saying it jams alot and complaints about the availabilty of the paper. I have printed over a hundered prints with mine and never had a jam. Paper is available in 4x6, a credit card size (great for wallet photos) and even little stickers (fun for kids). I have seen the paper on retail shelves in office stores such as staples, but have found the prices online to be cheaper (about .23/print on amazon).
The ribbon technology in this printer is what sold it for me. I have printed prints off several brands of inkjet printers and have always had problems getting the print tones correct from one to another. I end up wasting pages of photo paper and tons of ink trying to get it right. With the ribbon technology in this printer, I get perfect prints in seconds with a clear coat over them that keeps them from running or smudging. Never a bad print. With the ribbon technology, you always know how many prints you will get - don't need to guess if you have enough red or yellow ink left to print another print.
My only regret is that Canon doesn't have a printer that prints larger prints with this same technology.
avoid this printer

Thought a made a good choice with my first sublime printer. First couple of prints were pretty good. Then printed an indoor photo which came out too dark. Couldn't find the ICC profile to try and correct for differences in displays so I contacted tech service. They said send it in for repairs. No parts for this printer so they sent me a replacement. Replacement printed a few pictures, which were even darker than the original printer, and then jammed. Waiting for a return label (3 days now) so that I can send it in. While I was on the phone with tech support found out that sublime printers don't have ICC profiles only ink jet printers.
paper jams 2007-06-29
Ok, this was my fault for not being careful, but still... When I tried to print an additional photo on the blank half of a used photopaper, the ink cartridge and paper jammed. The only way to take it out was to break the ink cartridge film. (The film was stuck onto the paper) Thus, the entire cartridge was wasted just because of one jam. It's just not worth it.
Prints have green tint to them

The quality of prints from this printer is disappointing. I did a comparison of prints from this printer and a four year old HP inkjet printer. The inkjet printer had truer skin tones and brighter colors. The Canon printer produced prints with a green cast. Skin tones did not look natural.
Worthy to note that this printer does not include a printer cable to connect to a computer.
As noted by other reviewers you only can print five prints out of the box. I had a difficult time finding stores that carry the paper/ink for this model.
The printer has a number of useful features but it all comes down to the print quality which doesn't compare to other printers on the market.
Keep looking, there are better alternatives.

Great print quality 2007-02-25
Great print quality,and speed. Very good software bundle but wont work on windows 98/ME.And there isnt a version that will work. If you think being able to crop and rotate from the little display on the 730 is worth an extra 50.00 think again ,it's a 2.5" display,and its hard to see what the end result will be,so save the 50 and get this one. The card reader wont read compact flash from a kodak camera,but works great with my cannon. Easy to load paper tray and print cartrige.

Not great 
2007-02-15
After many reviews, I decided to try my first dye-sublimation printer. I was a bit disappointed. My only complaints are about the quality and size of the paper. The size is smaller than a regular 4x6 but I've read this before so I already expected it. Even knowing this, I couldn't get over the size once I personally saw it and compared it with the standard Canon 4x6 glossy plus. The quality is more of a disappointment. The details are not as good as the Epson PictureMate Deluxe that I bought for my parents. I noticed this in the shadows. The hair on my son showed up as a block of black ink. The same photo showed some strands details on the Epson. Overall, I will still keep it since it is the smallest printer I've ever seen and it is fast as advertised. If size is not an issue, I'd recommend the Epson PictureMate Deluxe.
I love this printer! 2007-02-15
I received this printer as a gift and I love it. It prints beautifully! It is compact and I love that I can print pictures using anyone's memory card. It's a great way to share images. It beats waiting for a copy you may never get. I also love that I can print greeting cards! I highly recommend this printer! A+!
Great little Gem... 2007-02-12
Prints great quality pictures! The quality is just as good as a picture developed at your local 1-HourPhoto. Great buy! Highly recommend it...
