I was just at JoAnn's yesterday getting some stuff for my kid's birthday and saw that they had several Canon Selphy 910's new in the box on the clearance table for $49. I already have one and I like it for doing quick prints at home. It's nice if you only print sporadically because it's not an inkjet.

Oh wow! My old one died and I need a new one. Chances of my Joann's having this is slim to none, though. I checked the website, they're still selling them for full price (more or less, it's on sale at the moment).

I just called and they have it for $34 or $31, can't remember, but OMG. Now have to decide to get it or the Epson. DH just told me he'd get me the Epson for Mom's day.  |

If you're on a budget, I really recommend the Selphy. You need to play with the colour saturation levels (push 'em up a bit) to get a more truthful print but, otherwise, it's a good cheap alternative I fully endorse. The dye-sub technology works great and the varnish layer on top will definiely withstand water drops. You'll get a 10x15 (cm) rather than a 4x6 print however (which is not a problem at all for 4x3 pockets in PL page protectors but may demand a little bit of matting if you want a snug fit in your 4x6 pockets) and won't have an easy stamping on them (StazOn and a steady hand or a stamp platform without pressing too hard). Those are the drawbacks. But if you're on a budget, that really shouldn't be a problem... |

I love my Selphy if I didn't already have one, I'd jump all over this!

Well, hubby went to get the Selphy and it turns out the woman on the phone had the paper/ink pack, not the actual printer.  So that's what DH brought home, as he had no idea. I called them and there aren't any printers within 200 miles of where I live. I hope someone else is able to luck out! He said that they are priced at $43 and are being discontinued. |

Works for me. I don't understand why they can't just have unperforated paper. Then the prints would be 4x6. |

crazy4scraps did you notice if the paper/ink packs were also on clearance?

Or even just the regular cacon ink. I would love to know...I got some on sale in March, but I would definitely get more if it's on clearance. So hard to find ink for a good price!

The cheapest I've seen ink and paper packs is Amazon.

I've grown to like the little white line that shows, it's like a little border treatment when it's consistent in my album. |
