In addition to the new PowerShot G7 and Digital ELPH cameras introduced today, Canon has added two more printers to their photo printer stable with the introduction of the Selphy ES1 and MP960 Photo AIO models.
Canon’s new Selphy ES1 Compact Photo Printer offers users high quality postcard-size photos. With a radical, innovative new vertical design, integrated paper and ink cartridge system and Canon’s DIGIC II imaging processor, this stylish and functional new printer is easy to use and offers a wide range of creative printing and photo-correction/enhancement options. The Selphy ES1 Compact Photo Printer’s innovative new paper handling technology allows it to maintain its vertical design, decreases its footprint (compared to other Selphy models) and increases the “cool” factor for printing.
The printer’s vertical design and integrated ink and paper cassette not only gives it a smaller footprint, but also makes watching the printing process fun for all. The Selphy ES1 printer is the only printer to offer the ink and paper together in one cassette. This eliminates the need for a separate paper tray and allows for fast and easy ink/paper replacement. Having the paper and ink integrated also means no worries about running out of one or the other or wasting ink when the paper supply is depleted. The integrated cassette feeds the paper, and then the printer automatically rotates it externally – in plain view – to continue the four stage printing process. The result is a brilliant, high-resolution photo with a protective UV clear coat ready for the refrigerator, frame, or family photo album.
Refills for the Selphy ES1 Compact Photo Printer are also easy to find at authorized dealers. Consumers will recognize new easy to spot packages that are clearly labeled for the Selphy ES1 Compact Photo Printer with large letters that correspond to the paper type. Ink and paper cartridges for color postcards come in both 50 and 25 sheet packs and the printer now has a counter, so users know exactly how many prints they have left. Optional paper sizes include black-and-white postcards and credit card size color prints.
The Selphy ES1 printer features a retractable handle for easy portability. With the optional rechargeable battery and consumers can have a printer that is at home anywhere they need it. Users can navigate through the printer’s menu systems using the bright and adjustable 2.5-inch LCD screen to select and edit photos or display a slide show from a compatible memory card. This screen also allows people to trim their photos to a variety of sizes and correct red-eye while the auto-rotate function automatically flips the photo the correct way for viewing. The Selphy ES1 compact photo printer uses thermal dye technology to print razor sharp, high-resolution 300 x 600 dpi photos, with or without a computer.
The Canon Selphy ES1 Compact Photo Printer will be available in October, for an estimated selling price of $249.99.
