Its SPP-2040 is a direct competitor to Canon's Selphy CP-500 and appears to use the same printer engine and consumables. The SPP-2040 starts out looking like a small, cuboid box around the size of a compact dictionary. However, once you've inserted the paper cassette that sticks out nearly 150mm and have allowed for the same space behind the printer, its desktop footprint is not that small. On the top is a hinged 50mm LCD display, which is used in combination with four buttons and a four-way dial button to navigate the printer's menu system and to edit images before printing. However, I found the display to be a little small to see much image detail."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/1637-1.jpg" /><br /><br />It looks like a cute a printer, and the cost per print at about 27 cents makes it relatively efficient. The printer itself is about $350.
