Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer – Wireless Printing, Long-Lasting Prints, USB-C & SD Card Connectivity – Ideal for Scrapbooks & Photo Albums, Black GB

Having tried out an HP Sprocket Studio Plus and been massively disappointed by it (expensive for starters and wholly reliant on an app) I bought this instead. Worried I'd be burned by the same poor functionality, I'm pleased to say nothing could be further from the truth. The Canon is miles better, and cheaper!Pros:Stylish design, looks good on table/desk.Small footprint, so easy to move about unlike an A4 printer, for example.Easy to setupAbility to use it with either the Canon Selphy app, or as a WiFi printer connected to your home network.You can also plug it into a computer using the USB port, or you can directly plug in an SD card.Quick prints (it's a 4-pass system, so it sucks the photo in and out 4 times before spitting it out. Each pass is around 10 seconds, but it feels quicker.Colour screen and buttons are easy to use via the onscreen menu.ConsThe Selphy app ordered the phones photos in a really bizarre order that we still haven't figured out and even if searching by date, it had some missing e.g. daughters birthday didn't come up as a search result... Yet I have tonnes of pics from that day. Odd.Consequently, abandoned the Canon app for the moment and re-setup the printer on the home WiFi network (rather than app direct). Can now print directly from all devices connected to our network, which is great, plus print from the Google Photos app, for example (where photos are not missing or out of order)!A very feint line did appear about a centimetre from the left side of the print, presumably due to how it does the 4 passes, but it's barely noticeable and for us not a deal breaker.Note that the paper sticks out the back when printing, so keep that area clear and due to the angle, it's probably best not to use the printer on carpet as it may get caught.Finally, the paper draw doesn't really have a home when not in use, which is a bit of a shame and ruins the otherwise very good aesthetic.Overall, this is a great little printer with solid connectivity, compatibility and flexible printing options. It is also considerably cheaper and better in function than the HP Sprocket Studio Plus. Literally the only thing th HP did better was home the paper tray when not in use. Get the Canon.

Top quality small photo printer with enhanced features including direct printing from mobile phone and a range of print sizes. Easy to use and with good colour reproduction.Recomend.

I've been on the lookout for a way to print some photos. However I wanted to avoid inkjet printers as a) ink is very expensive, b) images will fade fairly rapidly, c) they take up space. So this Selphy printer looked like a great option and I'm not disappointed.The Dye-Sub prints are great, glossy, deep saturation and borderless. I'd wager you'd have to spend a fair whack more to achieve the same quality with Inkjet to get the same consistent results. It's miles better quality than Instax. Occasionally you do get a scratch line from a roller or something in the glossy overcoat. It's also important to ensure there is no dust or pet hair anywhere in the machine or on the paper as this can give some pretty whacky effects.Cost per print is reasonable when buying the 108 cartridge/paper refills. In fact, it appears to be one of the cheaper options in the 4x6 size...much cheaper than instax wide, which is also smaller.The 'enhance image' setting on the printer/app appears to add a profile that does adjust images to a better representation of the original digitals. I initially left this option off as I didn't want it randomly changing my edited photo appearance...but this did lead to images being a tad darker and more saturated. So maybe try turning it on for yourself and doing a side by side test.Portability hack...You can buy a special battery, but it is quite expensive. However the required input voltage through the barrel jack is just within the realms of USB-C PD. So I got myself an adapter for USBC to 2.5mm DC (which must specifically be rated for the 18-20v PD voltage) and it works! You'll want a reasonably hefty charger or power bank in the 45watt and upwards range. Now this device works on the go.Wish I got one years ago!

Very easy to setup just power on download the app, scan the QR code on the printer and it is ready.Install the print head and then place the photo print paper glossy side up in the bottom of the tray.Produces great quality thermal prints that look like a real photo, hassle free and pretty quick.Good value for money, and very compact size.

Had difficulty connecting to it with my Samsung phone using the app but my partner had no issues with her iPhone. Once connected, the print quality was excellent and it was easy to use. Very compact device and quite clever with the paper/ink. A good buy if you want to start a scrapbook or similar.

What a great little printer! For printing out shots off the cuff so to speak up it does a brilliant job. If you’re a person who likes to ring the changes on your photos for example you have a multi frame picture frame this printer is brilliant. We bought extra paper and cartridges when we bought this printer because we realise that it would be invaluable. They make great photos too if you like to stick them on the front of greeting cards so that you send the personal cards to family or you just want to take a shot of something quickly and see what the result is, it’s fantastic and really good value for money really! It’s so compact we even take it on a holiday which is brilliant, lots of 6 x 4 photos so you can ring the changes. 👍

I bought one of these at the end of January. I set it up and worked. I was really pleased. I printed about 10 prints from lightroom classic.Ive just tried to use it again on March 8. When I tried to print (again from lightroom) it said to change the ink cassette as it was empty. I was suprised as I had only printed 10 prints.I changed it. I get the same message.The small display is very dim and there is no way to increase the brightness.I have spent £150 on ink and paper. This printer is a waste of money.

Great machine. Easy to set up. Photos look good.
