I've used several Canon CP 220 printers over the years. Very easy to use and prints last because they are dye transfer based (RGB ribbon heat transfer) not ink. That said, the cassette of tri-color ribbon dye and the glossy "tabbed" paper are unique and rather expensive. I don't print that many photos -- and I want them to last -- so this is an easy solution for me. You may prefer something different. ALSO, the CP-220 has a tendency for the roller mechanism to "break" and lose pressure on the print plate -- result: only half the photo gets printed. Takes a while for this to happen, and when it does there is a 20-30-minute fix with a drop of crazy glue that you can find on the Internet and you're good to go again. Additionally, these printers can be run off a rechargeable built-in battery (optional extra, you need to buy the battery) if you want to print "on-the-go" directly from a compatible Canon camera. I don't. -- but a nice feature to have.Read full review

Great picture quality. Speed of printing kind of slow since it feeds in and out of the printer three times for each ink color. Small piece broke inside printer which caused it to spray only on the left side of the paper. After researching online many other canon users experienced this same problem even with proper care and storage. Seems to be a defect in manufacturing or cheaply made parts. Never got to use it because it was broke when i received it.
We had this same unit for 9 years when it finally quit working properly. Because we liked the convenience and quality of the pictures it produced, the fact that we could buy one very reasonable on Ebay, and that you can hook it directly to the camera, we bought another one on Ebay. We are again enjoying the pics it produces.
I like and similar to my Dell Wasabi printer.
