Canon Selphy CP1300 Wireless Compact Photo Printer with AirPrint and Mopria Device Printing, White

We purchased this printer so we could print out our digital photos. I researched it a bit, and after reading reviews and info about it online, this sounded like it would have a better print quality then the instant cameras we were considering buying. We were not disappointed the prints are amazing, even better than photos from old film developing! You can transfer the photos many different ways, via bluetooth for phone photos and some cameras. You can use a memory card or a usb flash drive. It takes a little bit of reading the manual to see how to print the photos, it was set to automatically print the photos with borders (which crops the photos a bit), I have to go into the menu and set it to print with borders, then the photos come out showing all the detail in the photo. The only thing I don't like about the printer is, the little screen is not very clear, and it is hard to preview the photos using it. I chose to look at them on the computer and transfer the ones to print to a usb flash drive. The quality of the prints makes it worth the bother though! You do still have to remember to print your digital photos! Though, I think I still have some old 35 mm film spools that haven't been developed yet! The nice thing is you can choose what you want to print!

Ok here we go I write to my best friend who is in federal prison and I was tired of the looks I got printing photos at Walgreen's. There is nothing to gossip about I told them the photos were for my best friend in federal prison. Anyways I am not tech savvy at all. It is easy set up. You need to download the canon app to print photos. I use direct link on my wifi which is easy to set up. Even though I have no clue what wifi is I know I have it. You can use a USB or an SD card. So happy I did not have to. I love the quality of my photos way better than Walgreen's. It is cute and small and easy to use. Order extra paper and cartridges. I am not sure how many pictures print per cartridge. I am not even a photo person but it makes me want to take photos and also print all the photos I uploaded to Facebook for when I break my phone. Who am I kidding I am too lazy to frame photos or make an album but I am not to lazy to send pictures to prison.

We set this up at our wedding reception so guests could print out photos, keep them and leave copies with us for the guest book. Once you get the hang of how the basics work, you can really make it work for you quickly. I not only printed out photos to display/hang for our reception wedding table, but the guests had fun, our kids are having a blast making small photos for their journals (they love mini things!) and I've been adding photos to my wedding gift thank you cards of our honeymoon, or how their gifts are being used already. This is the gift that keeps on giving.I bought a few packs of the Canon RP-108 Color Ink/Paper sets through Amazon too, for about $25-$30. We've owned this since Aug 2020 and I've only just started using the second pack of paper.I find that the easiest mode to use it in is the Direct Mode. First set the printer to the "Direct Connect" feature, so it sends out a wireless signal. Then you need to go into your wireless settings (smartphone or computer) and choose that wireless connection as your internet (only while you're printing). There are apps you can upload but I find that some of the phone or computer programs can print directly to the printer with ease too. You just become limited in functions (choosing borders or how many photos print on one page) sometimes if you're not using the apps. I feel like I have so much more to explore with this printer but my kids and I are having a blast getting more into journaling and scrapbooking. This would be an epic gift for all ages. I'm gifting each of our kids one of the boxes of paper/ink that they can use however and whenever they want. Buy them while you can get it in stock!!!My only complaint is that when I first started printing photos, the images were super radiant and impressive. Somehow over the past month many of the prints are coming out a bit too dark. I will read and look up if there's something I can do to recalibrate it. This is even after changing out the ink cartridge...dang it.

I was skeptical. But this thing is actually amazing. If you are just printing photos for friends or family or something simple like that, this little device is amazing. It pops out a 4x6 photo in like 30-40 seconds. 4 passes of the photo paper through the printer (seriously, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, brrrrrrr...) and it is water safe, super sharp and high quality. Loading the film is easy. Sending photos from your phone to print - super easy. My iPhone 12 connected to it wirelessly and immediately, same with my Macbook Pro. Printed from Photos and from Powerpoint and Photoshop - easy peasy. When you're done, this little thing fits in a briefcase, or a drawer. Small, slick, fast, and high quality and for a great price. Easy choice.

Very happy with this compact photo printer for a photo booth at a party. Worked quickly and efficiently. Size is perfect for travel. Good price for the quality of prints. I’m a professional photographer so I have a picky eye for print quality, and while these aren’t exactly pro-level prints, they are quick and look good. My only critiques would be that the viewing window is very small, and you can’t tell quality well on the preview window, so I accidentally printed a couple blurry images instead of the sharper image. I also couldn’t get the collage function to work even tho I followed the direction. But the single 4x6 prints (you have to tear the perforated edges off) come out quickly and look good. The whole thing is well designed and simple to use. Impressed overall!

I wanted some thing cord free, I was a little bummed when it came with a cord. I HATE when you search something on Amazon and it shows crap you didn’t ask to see. I guess that’s how I got a corded printer instead of the cord free I searched HOWEVER the cord is long and the printer is amazing!! I used it for VBS this year and printed over 100’. Great quality. Everyone loves it!
