Okay, so when I bought this I was only expecting to print up 4x6 photos. I knew that one can buy the credit card size tray/papers for it but I didn't know that it actually made 2-up, 4-up, 8-up and index prints. I was SO SUPER EXCITED when I read one of the comments left on my last post about this purchase. I spent way too much time creating these little 4-up prints on photoshop and this printer did them for me with the push of a few buttons. Woohoo!! 
I went crazy printing all the photos I've been saving on the camera card. So I'm not an expert with this printer or anything but here is what I do know about it:
-pretty affordable start up price (I paid $129.95 CDN - I know it's a rip off with the exchange. I could've bought it in the US and saved some money but that's what I get when I don't renew my passport)
-the paper/ink package I bought for $45 CDN for 108 prints
-it costs about 45cents per 4x6 print so if I do a 4-up print, each little guy just cost a little over 10cents
-one print takes about a minute to come out
-I don't have to worry about ink clogging if I don't use the printer for a while bc it uses a different technology than the inkjet printers that I've owned (yay for this!)
-it's super easy to navigate through the menu
-has many different options to access your photos: memory card, pictbridge, memory stick. It can even connect to my computer to print photos from computer.
-pretty good quality in print colour
you're welcome for the mini photo hint! lol Hope you love your Selphi as much as I do!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Now I want one!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to playing with my new pivi, although this one looks so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI bought this printer because of all of this!! And other than not being able to print 5x7, I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteDoes it print all these sizes from your computer or only from a memory card? That's what I need!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Thanks Michelle:)
ReplyDeleteV, printer comes w software that allows you to print pics from computer. I haven't tried it yet.
Siobhan, I still love my pivi:). I love the quality of the photos especially when it's paired w my nikon. And the white border.
Been so inspired to journal more bc of the new printers:). Will share some new journal entries soon.
Does this print a credit card size photo too? If so, how do you compare it to the Pivi? I am debating what to get right now
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth:) it apparently does print cc size but you have to get the tray and of course papers/ink combo for it. I don't know where. But you can do a mini 4-up print and fit 4 photos onto a 4x6. That's pretty much cc size. You just wouldn't get the white border/faux instax photo effect. You can always mount on white cardstock for that:). It's way cheaper to print w the selphy. I haven't tried the cc print.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you're just thinking of using the printer at home, want to print mini photos and 4x6 and want to save wt least $70 then the selphy would be a better choice. you can still take this printer w you on trips but it's just bigger than the pivi (4x).
If you already have an at home printer and want cool instax prints and a really portable printer then the pivi is for you. If I had bought the selphy first, I'd probably hold off on the pivi but oh well. I'm happy I've got both:).
