Portable printers

Canon U.S.A. has two new additions to its line of compact photo printers: the radical SELPHY CP770 and the ultra-compact CP760 Photo Printers.

These portable photo printers will print almost anywhere –all without having to use a computer or camera to download images.

Canon calls the SELPHY CP770 compact photo printer a "cute carry-it-all solution" since it comes bundled in a basket-style storage bucket. This bucket can be used to carry the printer and  accessories including paper, ink and the power cord.

The printer has larger (and less) buttons arranged in a new layout, designed for simplicity and easier navigation through menus. Other features include: 2.5” High-Definition LCD monitor, available in a friendly apricot and crisp white color, automatically determine the position of the red-eye and change the pupils back to a natural color for printing, feature new overcoat technology to help reduce blurring, and fingerprint smudges along with being Bluetooth compatible (sold separately).

The Canon SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer prints great 4x6 inch photographs and make the most out of a digital camera. Many of the same features of the CP770 are in this one along with card slots lets users plug in memory cards or print straight from the camera with a USB cord.

Free ink!

We here at the Star-Telegram know a few things about wasting ink, so it's only fitting we give you a heads-up on how to get some:

At Walgreens on Wednesday, get a free ink refill for your printers ink. (You could drive around to every one of the 4 billion Walgreens in the Metroplex, and start your own newspaper!! But you didn't hear that suggestion from me.)

If you have a printer made by, Dell, HP, Lexmark, Okidata, Primera, Sharp or Xerox (no Epson or Canon), check the link to this website to see if your printer is eligible.

Good news: the offer is valid for Hawaii residents Monday, April 7 only, so head over to Hawaii for another one next week.
