Review: "Canon has had considerable success with its range of Selphy dedicated photo printers, which use dye sublimation, rather than the more usual inkjet. Its latest machine in the series, the ES1, refines the technique and provides extra features which should make it still more convenient to use.
You buy a photo printer primarily for the quality of its prints and with the ES1 you're buying a machine which can outperform most. The dye sublimation print is incredibly precise with very fine detail showing up clearly. We spotted some details in our test prints that we'd never noticed before and had to compare them with a magnified version of the image on-screen to prove they really were there? they were."
