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.

I love to scrapbook/ junk journal. I have a HP printer that I had used to print photos - but the ink would smudge and the quality for photos wasn’t awesome. The quality of this photo printer is beautiful (and they don’t smudge). Bonus, I am able to get photos off my phone and into books- whenever I have a chance. It’s easily portable as well. I brought it on a trip to an Airbnb and left the guest book with some photos taken from the location. Print quality:Beautiful!

This is great! Easy to use and quick to print photos right from your phone. So fun for family and special events! Ink runs out quickly, so have extra cartridges on-hand!

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 this!Honestly was able to print out my whole wedding album in about an hour. It is SO amazing. I love this.

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!

Cannot print 4x6. Only option is Japanese postcard. Useless.Expensive doorstop! Plus all the wasted paper I bought that I can’t use!For everyone suggesting I change the language to English, do you REALLY think I’d be on here complaining if I had chosen Japanese instead of English???The setting options are Japanese, as in “Japanese postcard” size and some other metric option. 4x6, the American postcard size is NOT one of those options.Someone appears to be selling printers intended for the Japanese market (I thought it was curious that the booklet had Japanese first, then English. Most things intended for the North American market have English listed first and then French and/or Spanish depending on the item. I rarely even see Japanese as one of the languages in most manuals).I tried to update the driver, but there’s no download option. You have to buy an SD card, download it to the card and then put it in the printer to upload it. I don’t have the time, money, or patience for that.I found a workaround that’s good enough for now, but I’m still disappointed that Amazon let this happen. I know it’s not a high end printer, but it wasn’t cheap either and I expected to be able to trust something with the Canon name sold by Amazon (not by a marketplace vendor)
