Editorial Review

The Canon CD-300 prints your images directly from many models of digital cameras without requiring you to first transfer the data to a computer. Plus, it features high-speed 300 dpi photo-quality resolution. With its moving-film carriage, the CD-300 prints up to 256 shades of cyan, then magenta, followed by yellow, and then it prints a protective ultraviolet layer to prevent image fading. The UV coating also extends the archival status of your prints by protecting them from moisture, fingerprints, and scratches. The CD-300 prints borderless (full bleed) postcard size, 4-by-6, and 4-by-10 panoramas. It use a dye-sublimation transfer technology that prints with high resolution to produce top-quality prints with the ready convenience of printing in your own studio, fully in control of the results.Read more

No XP Driver!
This would be a fine printer.It produces lovely prints.The problem?For reasons I cannot fathom, CANON HAS DECIDED *NOT* TO RELEASE A WINDOWS XP DRIVER!!Now that I've upgraded my PC to XP, my Canon is a paperweight.

Don't Purchase -- Canon Not Supporting
I own a CD-300.The quality of the prints is quite good -- indistinguishable from a regular 35mm print.However, as another reviewer has stated, avoid this printer.Canon has announced that it will not develop a Windows XP printer driver for the CD-300.To add insult to injury, Canon announced today that it is producing a new 4x6 dye-sub printer, the CP-100, which I have no doubt will be XP-compatible.

Wonderful printer, but cannot use on many computers.
I have this printer and love it.Or used to love it.I just got a new computer which runs Windows XP.You cannot use this printer with a new computer because Canon has arbitrarily decided not to release printer drivers.Their nonsensical stated reason is that the printer does not support USB (universal serial bus).Windows XP could support this printer.It recognizes the printer as new hardware over the parallel printer bus and asks for a driver.Since Canon has decided not to support Canon products there is no usable driver. Canon has only released Windows 95/98 drivers. Read more
