Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer White

I have two of these one for home and one for travel with the battery [make sure you get the canon battery made in japan] if you travel with it get the case. one thing to note is leave the ink cassette out of the printer when not in use, when you want to print then put in the ink, this keeps it from resetting and wasting the ink. spoke to canon and they recommended this also. asked why it does that and was told that it is just how it works. it is no problem to take the ink out along with the paper tray which you have to do anyway. if you have to leave the ink in then you will lose about 9 ink sections for printing. [you will have 9 sheets left from the print pack]. when loading paper into the tray use one pack 18 sheets, more than that may jam the printer. ALL THIS BEING SAID, THE PRINTS YOU GET ARE AWESOME. there is a learning curve with this printer as there is with any piece of technology. I hop all this helps. canon has live help available which is great when doing setup. Found out from Canon the WHEN YOU HAVE THE INK IN THE PRINTER AND TURN IT ON, IT ADVANCES THE INK ONE PICTURE TO KEEP IT TIGHT. TO AVOID WASTING INK, WHEN FINISHED PRINTING, PUSH THE INK CASSETTE EJECT BUTTON AND LET IT SLIDE OUT A BIT THEN SHUT THE INK CASSETTE DOOR LEAVING THE INK CASSETTE SLACK AND NOT PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN. THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE PRINTER ON IT WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO INK. JUST PUSH IT ALL THE WAY IN THE LOCK IT IN PLACE. WHEN FINISHED PRINTING JUST PRESS EJECT AND SHUT THE DOOR. REPEAT THE START UP PROCESS NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO PRINT OTHERWISE YOU WILL USE UP A SECTION OF INK EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE PRINTER ON. hope this helps.

This photo printer is perfect for scrapbooking. It’s wonderful to be able to print just one or two photos, instead of having to order from a photo printing service. The photos print very cleanly, and it’s fun to watch the photo printing process. Additionally, the app works very well for printing. I appreciate the customizable nature of the photos through the app.

Wow, wow, wow—I love this printer. Total game changer! I used it to create a full photo wall in my bedroom (and I mean, it covers the walls), and now I use it for occasional prints to frame around the house or give to friends and family.It’s super easy to use, and the color quality is seriously impressive. I’ve never had a paper jam, and it prints only in 4x6 size, which is exactly what I expected and perfect for what I need.The best part? The ink and paper bundles are super affordable—about $38 for 108 prints, which is such a steal compared to printing services.I’m not sharing the photo wall because I’d rather keep our faces private, but I will share one it printed of my dog—just to show the quality. If you’re thinking about getting this, do it. It’s been worth every penny.

I love this little printer!!! It's so easy to use, the app that goes along with it makes it very simple to print from your phone! I used this at a party and had 2 people asking me where I got it because they also liked it. The quality of the photos are phenomenal! Bright colors, clear pictures! I love it and I'm so happy it was recommended to me!

Easy to set up, easy to connect. Make sure you download the app. I used a Samsung and had no issues. Load the ink, it only fits one way. Open the clear top on the paper compartment, load paper glossy side up, put top back on, lift up the front half and slide into the printer body until both sides click. The paper pushes out the back and front several passes, make sure you have room behind the printer. The colors are slightly muted, but overall I'm happy. It basically looks and feels like an old school 4x6 print. I was worried you'd be able to see the score marks on the sides after ripping off the white edges, but they actually pop of cleanly with almost no marks and no tearing the paper. -- UPDATE -- I'm lowering my review by 1 star for the muted colors. Overall I'm happy with the printer, but I wish the tones were a little more vibrant. I tried oversaturating images before printing to see if it would make a difference and it didn't. Also, the app gives you an option to auto correct and sharpen the image. Without that option the picture has an almost soft blurr, with the option some of the images looked artificially crisp.

I love how cool this photo machine is. You can buy a battery pack and make it truly wireless so you can print on the go, which is really cool. The quality is nice enough, but not professional quality, but I know that coming in. Which it came with a battery pack for portability, but it doesn't and you have to buy 3rd party on Amazon.Before buying, just know this... photo quality and sharpness is good enough. If you're looking for professional quality in this little machine, you'll be disappointed. Know this little thing before buying.

The pictures are so clear and the color is bright and vibrant. I am so glad I choose this photo printer.

I got this printer to use in the field for my many photographic jobs. I love it. It works well and the pictures it produces are amazing quality. The app makes coming up with unique designs cool and easy. There are several different settings in there to create collages or even change the border color. I only use 4 by 6 paper in this there are other options I will. It be searching out. Canon came up with a sleek system for the ink and paper setup that makes things easy as heck. I think it’s 36 prints per cartridge it could be more, but the way the;aper and cartridge kits come it is accurate in use for paper to ink ratio for sure. I have never had any paper jam or malfunction of this printer ever. The ink capacity and print size are great for most cases I use it for. And if you add a battery to this printer ever it now becomes a portable powerhouse as the battery life is tremendous. It’s not for everyone but if you want accurate beautiful fast pictures this is the one for you.
