A portable photo printer, the Canon Selphy CP1300 delivers impressive print quality.
It uses thermal dye-sublimation technology which is known to provide high print quality. The paper passes through the printer four times; each time, either one of the four-color dyes is deposited on the substrate.
The process does take some time to complete; the Canon Selphy CP1300 can print one 4×6 photo in about a minute. In dye sublimation, however, the ink also dries up quickly. The manufacturer claims the prints can last up to 100 years!
