Creative Enhancements Allow Consumers To Personalize Those ''Can't
Miss'' Moments
Canon U.S.A., Inc. a leader in digital imaging, today announced two new
additions to the popular SELPHY compact photo printer line: the SELPHY
ES3 and SELPHY ES30. A first for a Canon compact photo printer, the
SELPHY ES3 will now include one gigabyte of internal flash memory for
storage of memorable photos. With significantly more creative options to
embellish photos, digital photographers and scrapbookers will be able to
customize their photos more than ever before using these new printers.
Featured in the new SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer is the inclusion of
internal flash memory which allows for images to be stored directly on
the printer making sharing with friends and family even easier.
Consumers will no longer have to worry about uploading images from a
memory card each time and can print out up to 1000 memorable images on
command.
Consumers will be able to choose from a variety of ways to customize and
optimize their photos with significant advancements to the frame, clip
art and calendar functions. A total of 47 frame templates are now
included on the SELPHY ES3 and 18 on the SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo
Printers. For parents who like to add clip art to their photos, there
are 28 different types of colorful illustrations on the ES3 while there
are 10 on the ES30, ranging from “Happy
Birthday” cakes to musical notes. The number
of layouts for the “Calendar”
function has been increased to 12 and there are six different types of
background colors as well. With the use of the Easy Scroll Wheel,
setting changes can be made in the Creative Print function making it
possible to preview the image with creative touches prior to printing.
“The popular SELPHY Compact Photo Printer line
is known for its ease-of-use, high image quality and compact stylish
design,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice
president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. “The
addition of these two new compact photo printers further solidifies and
expands upon this with new features such as the internal memory on the
SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer and all of the new creative options.”
A new wide-angle viewing 3.5-inch LCD monitor can be found on the Canon
SELPHY ES3 while the SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printer comes equipped
with a 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD monitor to make checking images in
horizontal and vertical directions very easy to do. The Image Optimizer
helps to automatically correct exposure and adjust the brightness,
contrast and sharpness of the images to help ensure the images being
printed come out their best.
Both the Canon SELPHY ES3 and SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printers have
been designed with portability in mind. The newly designed carrying
handle makes it easy for the printer to be carried from room to room.
With the power adapter now being built into the printer’s
body, only the power cable needs to be connected to operate the printer.
In addition to the integrated ink and paper cartridges found on previous
SELPHY models, two new “Easy Photo Packs”
are now available that can add a gold and/or silver effect on all your
photographs. A variety of 15 types of memory cards are supported from
Compact Flash to microSD cards, which can now be inserted without the
use of an adaptor.1 PictBridge enabled digital
cameras can be connected to these compact photo printers as well.
The estimated selling price of the SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer is
$199.99, and $149.992 for the SELPHY ES30
Compact Photo Printer.
