Canon SELPHY CP510 Compact Photo Printer

I know I am going against the grain of all these glowing reviews but here is what I have found.1. No USB cord provided!2. You have to buy a special paper (they don't state what it is in the book) that has tear off tabs at both ends and narrower than most 4x6 paper. Paper needed is HARD TO FIND. Regular Canon 4x6 paper DOES NOT WORK! I've tried many other brands, none fit or print.3. Ink cartridge only prints 5 SHEETS! These cartridges are also hard to find. (meaning you can't always pop out to Walmart or an office supply to get it.)4. NOT INTUITIVE. MUST READ MANUAL and it is still not clear.5. Battery not included, must buy seperately.6. You have to buy any other paper cassette size separately (not included)Conclusion: May be cheap but you'll pay and pay for the supplies to keep it running!

This is an excellent photo printer. I'm a photo enthusiast and I've had photos printed from online shops like Kodakgallery and printed the same photos on this printer for comparison. I can't tell any difference between the photos from the online print shops and the ones from the printer. The only annoying thing about this printer is that the print proportions do not exactly fit 4x6 print proportions. For most people this won't be a problem, but because I very carefully crop my photos so that exactly what I crop is what will print, it's annoying that pieces of the photo get cut off. I get around this by adjusting the length width proportions so that they will fit on the printer page.

Purchased new, on/off button is problematic....takes a while to get it to turn on, sometimes it won't work and you have to remove and re-install ink cartridge and paper tray for it to work. I didn't know this was now an obslete printer from Canon...they do not even carry the supplies for it...there's a modern version several grades higher than this.

Everyone on the other reviews said that it would hook up to a phone and that's why I bought it. But it doesn't. Thankfully they sell a bluetooth piece that will let me print pictures.

This is a horrible printer. Do not waste your money.Is not compatible with windows 8 or anything but Windows XP, if you have an older camera it will probably work on that. The Canon Selphy CP 710 may be a newer version and better. But I will not be trying it. If 'you can get it to work, printing out a few pictures would be fine but you would not want to print out several it would take a long time because it takes several minutes to print out one photo.

What a great little photo printer! I just got mine and it's fantastic. The quality of the printed photos is outstanding. The prints look just like the ones you'd have printed at Target/Walmart/etc. The printer itself is tiny, perfect for traveling. There is also a Li battery pack available if you wish to print on the road. Overall, this printer is very easy to use, whether you are printing directly from your camera or from your computer.The only reason I didn't give this printer 5 of 5 stars is because there are a few extras that you need to purchase in order to be totally all set. If you wish to print photos you have stored on your computer, you need a USB cable (it's not included with the printer). Also, if you want to print the tiny credit card sized photos, you need a separate paper holder adapter (you can find them here at Amazon). And you may wish to pick up additional ink cartridges. The included ink cartridge yields about 5 printouts.Other than the minor points mentioned above, I am totally satisfied with this printer! :)

I purchased this item to take with me on a trip across the U.S. My husband and I were able to send postcards, with our pictures and places we had seen, to our small grandchildren. It is portable, easy as pie to use and we love it. Take pictures with your digital camera, hook up to the machine and print. That easy. Pictures are wonderful and color is great. We were not disappointed. We could also download pictures to our laptop, edit them, and then print them. Just took a few minutes during our downtime in the evenings at our hotels, then we'd mail them the following morning before taking off again. Got so many oohs and aahs from the desk clerks.

The Item you sent to me did not work. It had a broken printer head. It only printed half of a picture. Thanks a lot, I guess half of a picture is better than no picture. Item was also shipped in a damaged box. Do not trust this seller. This printer was a piece of crap.
