" ... If you DO NOT push the tray in all the way AND CORRECTLY it will pull paper and print but it will be diagonal. ... "
" ... Of the times you actually connect and send a pic through to be printed, the printer randomly errors out that the wrong paper size has been chosen or that there is a paper jam. ... "
" ... have relaced once, but printer continues to randomly error “wrong paper size”!!!! ... "
" ... Stinks iit uses the perforated paper either. ... "

" ... I use it to quickly print for my journals. ... "
" ... (The print speed spec includes the time transmitting the data from the computer, which is what takes a little time . ... the actual print speed is fine.) ... "
" ... Our guests need to wait for few minutes for their photo to print out. ... "
" ... This results in immediate printing. ... "
" ... I admit that the selphy prints slower than DS40 but one cannot deny the portability, the weight and most of all the RELIABILITY of the machine can easily be the selling points. ... "
" ... Once it starts printing speed is good it's just getting it to start that is the issue. ... I solved the print speed problem by buying a second one. ... "
" ... It's the slowest part of the whole process, but once it starts printing it's pretty quick. ... "
