It comes with a set of ink and 54 postcard sized paper sheets in the box. It was pretty easy to set up to my phone and the companion app gives you a lot of options to create different types of pictures from collages to single prints. You can also add borders and stamps and do basic edits in the app. The print quality is actually impressive for a machine of this size and has vibrant, pretty true colours. You have the choice of matt, semi gloss or high gloss as well.It's very easy to send a print to this wirelessly once you have paired it. I initially set it up with my phone and then wanted to switch to my iPad. I did have an issue initially getting it to pair to the iPad as it wouldn't bring up the QR code for pairing again, but a quick google helped me solve this without too much issue.I have been loving being able to print off certain pics from my camera roll and turn them into proper prints I can put in a scrapbook or hang up to have them on display. I'm very happy with this purchase and think compared to the smaller printers I've tried, this far exceeds them in value and quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb if you avoid compatible ink/papers *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 January 2025* Having had many photo printers in the past, from A4 Epson desktops to 44 inch wide format Β£5k photo printers for business, personally I can say that this Canon Selphy is really rather surprisingly excellent.Ink/PaperMy initial mistake - I used non-Canon ink/paper and the difference was significant to say the least. With the official Canon ink/paper - which costs the same as the compatibles anyway - the black print is actually black, rather than a weird tinted black. Also, the tear off end pieces are so much more crisp than the compatible paper, which often didn't even come away properly leaving white frayed edge.For me once I discovered all this, my 'ok' printer was transformed into a 'superb' printer that I would recommend to anyone.BatteryI purchased a battery for the printer, and now rarely bother to plug in the printer itself, making it fully portable enabling me to print anywhere round the house. I have even printed on the beach, which is great fun! Be careful though, printers don't like dust, dirt, moisture etc so this is not a recommendation, just my own decision and experience.The annoying lineSearch online and you will find that many people have complained about an obvious line on all prints which appears about 1cm from the edge across the print. I had this too, and to be honest this issue, along with the slightly odd colours/ tinted blacks, I was going to return the printer.However, for me the line has so far now disappeared. For my printer i believe this is due to:1 - using original Canon paper/ink.2 - keeping the paper feed tray fairly full of paper. If you have just a few sheets left in the tray, it seemed to start the scratching.SummaryPersonally I love this printer. I have accepted that it costs around 30p a print - considerably more than so called free prints online which are great for bulk orders - but I am happy to pay as I get:1. Full control of my prints.2. Instant prints, anywhere I am (using the battery) which enables me to instantly share the fun, which was the whole point of this purchase, to stop leaving great photos stuck on my phone/cloud.3. A sense a joy that such a tiny printer (which I can fit in a backpack /camera bag, and not even notice really) can produce excellent quality prints, with its funny little noises and the paper sliding back and forth. If you like little machines doing things mechanically, you will get what I mean.Connectivity to my mobile (and my family's) was so easy, and it connects instantly whenever I actually create a print.I love the option to add a black border, especially as it is now actually black. This really makes photos pop, a photographers secret ssshh don't tell everyone.In these pictures, Canon is the top black and white photo, and with the sunset corner image you can see the difference in the borders (black vs tinted). Of course, the difference in print accuracy doesn't just apply to black and white, it affects the whole colour spectrum in my opinion.Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Printer *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 July 2026* Im a sucker for tying new gadgets and spend far too much money on them. Once I had seen this I had to give it a try. Wow, I am amazed at the quality of the prints and what it's capable of. It connects to my Mac and Phone with ease and is a dream to use. The prints are clear and vibrant and use a fair bit of tech. It's not the smallest of printers compared to what you can get, but I believe that sacrifice is worth it. It's still portable and can be put in your bag, but the printing is top notch. Many people complain at the cost of prints, but having checked the prices and inconvenience of using online printing services, this is much more convenient in my opinion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer – Wireless Printing, Long-Lasting Prints, USB-C & SD Card Connectivity – Ideal for Scrapbooks & Photo Albums, Black GB - Canon SELPHY RP-108 Ink + Paper Multipack - Genuine Printer Ink Cartridges 2 Pack (2 x Cartridges) & 108 Sheets (100 x 148mm) - Canon SELPHY KP-36IP Ink + Paper Multipack - Genuine Printer Ink Cartridges 1 Pack (1 x Cartridge) & 36 Postcard Back Sheets (100 x 148mm) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/494615846-canon-selphy-cp1500-portable-mini-photo-printer-100-year-longevity](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/494615846-canon-selphy-cp1500-portable-mini-photo-printer-100-year-longevity) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
