People may need to stock up on Canon printer ink cartridges if they are looking for a printer that is portable and easy to use, as a model from the manufacturer has been recommended for precisely these reasons.

The Selphy CP800, which is intended for printing high-quality photographs, received a glowing write-up from the Computer Shopper website, with editors giving it a rating of 7.5 out of ten.

In acknowledgement of the model's mobile and compact nature, it was said the device would not be out of place at a social gathering, where it may be used to produce "amazing prints" instantly via a memory card, USB stick or Bluetooth.

"If what you're looking for is affordable, under-a-minute photo printing that you can carry around in a tote bag, the Canon Selphy CP800 fits the bill," the website added.

Canon was recently identified as the most appreciated printer brand on the internet in a study of opinions expressed on social media by amplicate.com.
