Product Information

Older models tend to come with Wi-Fi connectivity, and many can print directly from PictBridge-supporting cameras and memory cards or USB flash drives. If you are in the market for a stand-alone 4X6 photo printer, the Canon Selphy CP1300 is the right choice you can make. Moving up to larger A3+ printing, there’s a choice of printers based exclusively on dye or pigment inks.

This cool printer has a resolution of 1200 x 4800 dpi, which means the quality of the prints is good. Photo printers are diverse in their offerings, so you’ll have to evaluate and select one that’ll be ideal for your needs. These include everything from heavy-duty, office-based devices to portable printers that fit right on your desk at home or in your photography studio.Colour output on glossy paper is simply spectacular, easing ahead of Epson’s larger-format 6-ink photo printers, and the Canon also delivers very convincing output for both colour and mono photo prints on matte and fine art media. The replacement for Canon’s popular PRO-100 and 100S dye-based A3+/13x19-inch printers, the revamped PRO-200 has a revised range of Chroma Life 100+ inks that deliver richer deep colours and blacks. Output quality matters much more, and even today's slowest photo printers offer tolerable speeds of two minutes or less for a 4-by-6-inch print in our tests.

Don't expect much in the way of ruggedness for fine-art papers for framing, but you do need it for stacks of 4-by-6-inch snaps that you might hand out for people to look through. The printer itself is also very well specified, with excellent connectivity, high print, and scan resolution, and a surprisingly prompt print speed. This is more often a problem for dedicated rather than near-dedicated photo printers, but you should be aware of it in either case.If you’re not well-versed in instant photo printers, we’re here to amend that to ensure you get the most out of your investment. The device is quite compact for a portable photo printer 4×6 that roughly measures 15 inches wide, 9. If you’re looking for a small 4×6 photo printer to use for quick prints for friends or family, or to make at a party or wedding, then the Kodak Dock Plus is the ideal choice.
