Selphy just arrived

dod · 09-01-2006, 20:16

and it's tiny, very sleek looking though. From eBay for £65 from the Canon store, bargain

if you're interested I'll do a mini review when I get it set up?

Congratulations on your new purchase

Looks very tidy

I'd be interested in a review

I got a Sony DyeSub and they are perfect for producing durable good quality photos just like a lab - wouldnt be without one.

Was that bought for on site printing to do with the equestrian photography?

digitalfailure · 09-01-2006, 20:36

I bought one for the wife to use with her Ixus....so far it's been fantastic

I get my PC back, she gets her pics printed and i've a sneaky feeling my 20D will plug straight in to it too

LOL busted

Yes, that's part of it, also for various marketing bits and pieces for the horses but also the motocross which I've gradually started to make inroads with. One of the papers you can use is a postcard, anybody I don't see at events can expect to receive a postcard of their pride and joy. I'll treat these as a give away

Have you any idea of the likely running costs when you factor in the ink and paper too?

dod · 09-01-2006, 20:55

from what I've been able to find out it's about 22p a print so the cost of advert works out about 50p per person for product and postage and my time whatever that costs.

dod · 09-01-2006, 21:36

I don't *?&%**ing believe it, faulty

Six prints all the same, identical. Although what's there looks to be excellent quality

***Steve*** · 09-01-2006, 21:39

So it just stops printing half way through???

Thats very weird

Warspite · 09-01-2006, 21:43

Have you tried removing the ink roller cartridge and replacing?

dod · 09-01-2006, 21:47

no Steve, it's only printing half the width. The way it works it should print all the yellow in a pass, then the cyan, then the magenta. For some reason it's only putting the ink down across half the paper.

I'm not sure but I think dye sub heats the ink, if that's the case it implies there's something wrong with the heater. Having said that for all the size of it why it would need more than one element beats me

Yeah, just spoke to Canon service though, if I send it back to them direct they'll either repair or replace so it's back in the box ready to go.

If it's any consolation, the bit on the right looks quite good

SammyC · 10-01-2006, 10:46

Well that's ok then, shame none the less as it does jade your new toy slightly.
