Canon Selphy CP770 Compact Printer

This product categorized as a compact photo printer. With the ability to print photo quality and compact size is very appropriate if called like that. Evident from the form that such sales package bucket (bucket), where at the top of the printer itself, while containing equipment such as cables, manuals, CD driver, ink, and so on. But like most compact printer with printing techniques such as sub-dye this product, it requires a space slightly larger than the actual. First, of course, additional space for the paper tray in the front and additional space in the back is also needed. Because of the process of sublimation per color, so the paper will go back and forth three times to get the result.

Canon Selphy CP770 is also equipped with several additional features. Also included is a memory card slot variety. Almost all types of memory cards are supported, which provided three memory card slot. For ease of selecting pictures to be printed, it is also equipped with 2.5-inch TFT color LCD.

So, you can alter model name by using General Tools for Canon Pixma iP1200 series.
