BCNImage Printers

Hi! If you are reading this review right now, you want to find a good picture developer for your own home or office. So, you must trust me to tell you how it is between the Canon Selphy and the Picturemate 240. The difference is like night and day. My Picturemate finally locked up after years and thousands of photo prints. The little screen told me to check my handbook……………That was impossible. I don’t do instructions very well, and I had no idea where to look for the instructional booklet. I went to my husband fussing about my printer. He being a great guy and wanting me to be happy, went right out to the store to buy me a new one. When he arrived at the department for photo printers, he was told that they didn’t have the Photomate 240. He was shown the Canon Selphy CP780. He bought it because Canon is always a product that can be depended on to work well. He brought it home. Put it together and started printing the pictures. We found that the Canon is very small and one has to have a long neck to see the picture selection ON TOP of the printer. The Photomate has a stand up viewer and it is so easy to see the pictures one wants to print. After selecting a few pictures to test the printer, I sat there for ever so long waiting while the copy went back and forth putting different colors on the picture…………The Photomate just prints the finished picture…….No yellow, then blue, then red….or whatever, before the photo was ready to be sent out in its finished color. Then, when the picture did appear, it was long and slim. The tabs on each end had to be removed. The Photomate picture just comes out all ready to file away in a photo book. The ink is also very dry and the prints may be stacked one on top of another. I just found that the Photomate is the most enjoyable printer to operate. Since I had both the Photomate and the Canon on my desk, I could compair the color of the pictures. The Photomate had beautiful, vivid colors while the Canon was lighter in color. I didn’t wait any longer. I gathered up all the paper and the box to the Canon and took it right back to the store from which I had bought it. It really concerns me that people are buying the Canon printer and having to put up with all its faults when they should spend a little more (the Photomate 240 is on sale now) and enjoy printing their pictures. The Photomate makes it all soooooooooooooo easy. The only problem I have with the Photomate is I can’t remove the “frame” from my pictures and I must think ahead when taking my pictures so that heads are not cut in half. I know that this frame can be removed, but like I said, I don’t read instructions. With the Photomate, it is so easy to use and the results is better than a lot of professional pictures. I am off the buy another Photomate 240. It is just the best printer for my home or any home. That saying “You get what you pay for.” is true with the Photomate. The Canon may be less expensive, but your pictures will be a chore to print and the color will be compromised. Just stop reading and go buy a Photomate 240. You will be happy you did! Trust me!!!!

I got this item for my daughter she likes to take pictures and it’s easier for her to print them avoiding printing cost. I was not disappointed with this purchase. Only one suggestion I wished you could of gotten a size bigger than the regular. But overall I’ll recommend this item to anyone who likes to take pictures. The quality is great and it’s efficient.
