The SELPHY CP900’s Image Optimizer features evolved Noise Reduction Technology and enhanced Intelligent Contrast Correction, making it easy to print spectacular photos every time. The new Noise Reduction Technology allows users to print stunning portraits, which appear smoother with more natural coloured skin tones.
