I've used a CP-710 for a couple of years for printing 4X6 "give-away"snapshots and love the quality of the prints. The clear overcoat is a BIG bonus that no one seems to mention. The prints are very rugged and waterproof so can be sent through the mail as postcards with no worries. Try that with most ink jet prints.
The dye-sub prints have good contrast and saturation, without being "super-saturated" like some ink-jet printers. These prints come closer to looking like prints from color film than most inexpensive printers provide.
For serious "art" prints I use a Canon PIXMA PRO-9000, but for reliable and quick 4x6's the little Canon is hard to beat. No nozzles to clog and clean, no dried up ink cartridges. It's always ready to work with no hassles. the only issue I've had is that printing more than (10) prints in rapid succession can cause the printer to overheat and then stop for a few minutes while it cools down.
By keeping a look-out for Canon supplies "On-sale" I can usually find the KP-108IP kits for around $25-26 so that amounts to 24 cents per print. Not as cheap as Ritz/Wolf but much more convenient when you only need a handful of quick prints.
