Easy Direct Print Without a Computer

The ES3 makes it easy to print radiant, crisp professional quality photos right at home. Just plug in a select Canon digital camera or PictBridge supported digital camera. Instantly, you have complete control of the printer's customized functions. All without ever touching a computer. The Canon SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer will give you radiant, longlasting prints you'll treasure for years to come. Uniquely optimized for your Canon digital camera or any PictBridge compatible camera, the ES3 printer produces pictures of extraordinary quality you'll notice right away. Colors are pure and intense; details are so sharp they almost seem to jump off the page. And it's all yours with a remarkable simplicity and convenience that make printing pictures as much fun as shooting them.

Canon DIGIC II Image Processing Engine

The SELPHY ES3 incorporates Canon's renowned DIGIC II image processing engine. Based on the same technology used in Canon's professional digital SLRs, DIGIC II drives markedly improved print quality while also contributing to near-instant start up and fast operation. The result is a printer that has the ability to automatically correct and enhance printed images from most digital cameras. In addition to automatic red eye correction and exposure correction, the processor also controls the temperature of the 1,208 printing electrodes that produce the photograph, delivering a clean and crisp print in approximately 60 seconds.

Easy Photo Pack System

Specifically developed for the SELPHY ES3, Easy Photo Packs combine ink and paper in one cartridge -- users simply slot the cartridge into the printer to begin printing. Up to 50 prints can be produced at once (depending on cartridge used), allowing users to print an entire photo album without having to oversee the whole process. This convenient system also reduces the risk of spoiled prints since the paper is not exposed to dust or other environmental particles.

A choice of seven Easy Photo Packs is available in sizes ranging from postcard to credit card, each color coded for easy identification in-store and at home. The range includes a dedicated Black and White Easy Photo Pack for artistic monochrome prints.

1GB Built-in Memory

The ES3's exclusive built-in memory stores up to 999 images, giving you easy access to your favorite photos without having to search through your camera's memory cards. So the next time you're with family and friends, show off your favorite shots on the big color display, then print copies for them to keep, right on the spot.

Built-in 3.5-inch Color LCD Monitor

The SELPHY ES3 printer includes a high-resolution 3.5-inch color LCD. This large, bright on-printer display lets you preview your images before you print. So you don't have to output test images. You'll save time and money. The intuitive user interface also displays helpful information on battery levels and the amount of ink and media remaining.

Built-in Memory Card Slot

The ES3 offers built-in memory card slots. Compatible memory cards include SD Memory Card, miniSD Card, microSD Card, SDHC Memory Card, miniSDHC Card, microSDHC Card, MultiMediaCard, MMCplus Card, HC MMCplus Card, CompactFlash Card, Microdrive, Memory Stick, MemoryStick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo. The following can be used with the addition of a special adapter sold separately: MMCmobile Card, MMCmicro Card, RS-MMC, xD-Picture Card and Memory Stick Micro, HC MMCmobile Card.

Easy To Use

The SELPHY ES3 actually makes photo printing fun! With the easy-carry handle, you're always ready to go on a photo adventure. The Easy-Scroll Wheel and large, colored buttons make operation a snap, and automatic image enhancement and red-eye correction will instantly improve your people pictures.

Create Something Original With Creative Print and Optional Gold or Silver Inks

A dedicated Creative Print button provides instant access to a wide selection of fun design layouts. Creative Print lets you go where your imagination takes you. Make photo albums and photo calendars in 6 layouts. Place Speech bubbles in 6 styles -- anywhere on your picture. Or print 2-up, 4-up, 3-up or 8-up* with Multi-Layout. Red-eye reduction and backlight correction work automatically to keep every image perfect. Optional gold and silver inks for added fun and creativity to frames and clip art images.

Brilliant 300 x 300-dpi, Long-Lasting Prints

With the ES3, you can produce prints that match the appearance and long-life of images produced by traditional film processes. Engineered for superior picture quality, this printer has a resolution of 300 x 300-dpi and 256 levels of color so you can create richly detailed prints from digital cameras. Dye-Sublimation technology controls the ink flow to deliver a full range of realistic tones and shadings, so color is natural and true-to-life.

The ES3 printer creates water and fade resistant prints that last as long as traditional film prints. For durability, the ES3 adds a transparent, protective overcoating to each print that shields it from the damaging effects of sunlight and humidity. The ES3 creates water and fade resistant prints that last up to 100 years*.

* Based on accelerated testing, assuming image is stored in an album at 23 degrees C/50% R.H.

My Colors

A vast range of creative options includes 10 My Colors photo effects for dramatic color changes. Just hit the Effect Button on the SELPHY ES3 compact photo printer and you can choose Vivid -- to print your images in bolder, more highly contrasted colors; Neutral -- to tone things down and create a more pastel effect; Sepia -- to give you prints the look of old-fashioned photographs or dramatic Black & White. Lighten or darken skin tones. Brighten reds, blues or greens.

Image Editing

Images can also be enhanced with new optimization features such as Automatic Red-Eye Correction. The ES3 compact photo printer has a trimming feature that make it easy to crop your shot before you print it. When you select 'Trim,' a frame appears over your image on the printer's LCD. Then, pick from 8 pre-set landscape and 5 portrait size trimmings to get exactly the picture you want. It couldn't be easier!

Bluetooth Wireless Photo Printing Option

The SELPHY ES3 Printer is compatible with Canon's BU-30 Bluetooth Adaptor. Available as an optional accessory to the SELPHY and PIXMA Photo Printers, this petite Bluetooth adaptor allows users to print photos wirelessly from most Bluetooth enabled devices, like computers, mobile phones and PDAs.

Requires mobile phone (or other device) equipped with Bluetooth v.2.0 and optional Canon Bluetooth Unit BU-30. Bluetooth operation depends on the device and software version used. Operating distance is approx. 10 meters but may vary due to obstacles, radio signals, locations where radio interference occurs, magnetic fields from microwave ovens, device sensitivity and/or antenna performance.

Print Wirelessly From IrDA Enabled Camera Phone*

The SELPHY ES3 printer is also IrDA compatible. This allows users with IrDA compatible phones to send images to the printer for easy printout.

* Requires mobile phone with IrDA port and support for IrMC version 1.1 protocol, with phone positioned no more than 7.9 inches from printer.
