Capturing & Sharing Life’s Greatest Moments just got easier with CANON’s SELPHY CP770 and CP760 compact photo printers

CANON’s family-friendly SELPHY series – the industry’s flagship name in portable and affordable photo printers – unveils two new models to help capture, store and share life’s perfect moments.

Kuala Lumpur, June 20, 2008 – A toddler’s first steps. Bicycle lessons from Dad. Welcoming the family pet into the home. The rowdy graduation party. These are magical moments worth capturing and sharing with friends and loved ones. And Canon understands the nature of these fleeting moments. With Canon’s superior digital imaging systems and the introduction of two new compact photo printers – the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 – keeping and sharing your fondest memories just got a whole lot easier.
With characteristic easy-to-use functions, affordability and high-quality printing, these additions to the SELPHY family are tailor-made for young parents and adults with active lifestyles. Shoot, edit and print easily on the move. Without hassle or connectivity issues. With support for more than 21 types of memory cards and distinguished card slots, and an easy-to-view tilted 2.5” LCD screen which can be easily read whether indoors or outdoors, the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 are made for printing personal photos, anytime, anywhere. So you can enjoy more fun times and photos with the whole family.

So Simple To Use It’s Child’s Play!

Using both the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 is quite literally, child’s play. Both models are enhanced with easy-to-use and intuitive operation panels which consist of colour-coded ‘Print’ and ‘Back’ buttons, and a large, flower-shaped cursor button. So it doesn’t matter if Mummy has her hands full with the birthday cake – because even baby sister knows that ‘green’ means print!

It’s also a no-brainer whether you’re printing directly from the camera, mobile phone, PDA or laptop, because both models support Bluetooth connectivity (optional Bluetooth adaptor needed) with the SELPHY CP770 supports IrDA as well, and will change the default connection to PictBridge, allowing photos to appear without hassle. And if the photos don’t appear, check the display for a possible solution. Each error message now prompts you with a possible solution. Forgot to insert your ink cassette? Slip it in and it’s back to business!

Unbeatable Print & Imaging Quality

Say goodbye to poorly-lit faces in party photos! Using the new “Face Fine Print’ function, both the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 come with ‘face detection’ and ‘partial contrast correction’, which means individual face brightness will be adjusted while maintaining the levels of the sun or bright objects in the background. Thanks also to dynamic range optimization in both models, it’s the end of ‘dark faces in outdoor photos’ as we know it. The ‘My Colours’ function will also enhance the reds, blues, greens and natural skin tones of your photos without the need for an attached PC’s editing tools.

Using dye-sublimation printing technology, the SELPHY printers are also able to deliver high-quality 300-dpi colour photographs and excellent tonality, with no ‘noise’ granularity. Each photo printed is also laminated with an overcoat that effectively protects each photo from fingerprints, light, water and dirt, so pictures remain vibrant and clear for a long time.

Great Looks, Superb Convenience

You’re not wrong if you think the new SELPHY CP770 looks like a beach bucket. It’s a simple new-and-improved design twist which lends a fun and practical element to the portable printer. The bucket works as a storage case for the CP770’s accessories, like the compact power adapter, paper, ink and paper cassettes. The useful carrying handle and the buckle lock system make the printer child-friendly as well.

With tiny footprints, appealing design and great looks, both the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 share an ultra portability and function. Besides being incredibly lightweight and portable, they’re eye-candy that make printing photos fun again.

Unlike conventional ink jet printers, there is minimum maintenance required, and there’s virtually ‘zero’ warm-up time needed before printing your first photo. The greatly-improved 2.5” UI display is now available in no less than 7 languages – Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, simplified Chinese.

With these SELPHY printers, you can also print from 21 types of memory cards without an adapter. Besides allowing for standard printing modes, paper cassettes for both models now support three convenient sizes for improved usability; Postcard, Large and Card. What’s more, the SELPHY CP770 and CP760 come in lovable and scratch-resistant ‘Macintosh-white’, so rest assured they’ll blend nicely into the modern home. SELPHY CP770 comes with a portable battery, making it a breeze to print in places without a power source.

The new Canon SELPHY CP770 and CP760 will be available at all Canon retail centres by July 2008. Recommended retail pricing for the CP770 is RM549 while the CP760 retail for RM449. For more information, please log on to www.canon.com.my and click on Global Sites.
