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

Got this for a wedding and it worked super well. Really easy to set up. The printer can act as a wireless access point. It doesnt come included with a battery - You can purchase one separately. A good size. It's not the fastest printer (but you would need to spend a lot more money to get one significantly faster). I had to footer around with the settings but got a good quality print with it.

I picked this up used on Amazon Warehouse... or whatever it's called this week... for about £30 less than the new price, which was in itself about £20 cheaper than normal for Black Friday. So that was pretty good. Especially as it was in mint condition when it arrived. As the printer doesn't come with paper or ink cartridges [even if purchased new] I ordered some of those as well. At around 30 quid for just over 100 sheets, it works out around 30p. a print, more or less. Which I thought was a bit steep.... until I actually made a few prints and... Wow!—this really is impressive. For anyone like me who's previously wrestled with a moody inkjet printer, printing on glossy photo paper and wasting more ink and paper than you produce prints, this is a fantastic upgrade. OK, the prints aren't the biggest. The largest size is postcard sized, but... the print quality is fantastic. They are indistinguishable from a real photograph and they also print really quickly as well. I did end up wasting a couple of sheets of paper at the start, as I chose "fill entire paper" in my print dialogue at first, which resulted in really unpredictable cropping. Once I changed my print settings to "print entire image" instead everything worked as expected. There is actually a dedicated app for printing which the manual [and printer during setup] strongly encourages you to download and use. But having experienced Canon's atrociously bad software design with previous cameras and printers I've owned [Hello!—the 1990s called. They want their interface back] I decided I'd forego the dubious pleasure of wrestling with another of Canon's half-arsed attempts at writing software and just "go native" instead. So I'm printing directly from MacOS using the system print dialogue, with the printer connected to my WiFi network. This works absolutely fine and is just as convenient as sending to my other everyday printer. The only thing I don't like about it is the cringeworthy "Selphy" name. As with the much maligned "Selfie Stick" this is a device which can also be put to good use by the non-narcissits amongst us.

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 setup Ability 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. Cons The 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.

The simplicity and clean approach to photography is fantastic. No messy inks, no blur, just a fantastic quality photo. Now... this is the happy ending, as we start our tale backwards. At the beginning, be ready as this can be only described as an Epic battle full of evil curses, cosmic magic and plenty of fairy dust... perhaps enough to make you sneeze knives and 'trollify' the self until the very end. The Iron fist of rule Canon has amazing hardware! But horrible software... this is a well known fact among IT Warlocks and Witches. This beast, is no exception. For the common mortals in this world, the only option of use is by directly connecting to the printer hotspot by sacrificing their own internet access and using the canon cursed app. Simply disconnect from the Wifi and find the Canon printer hotspot, connect using the given password and use the app and the QR code to do the rest. IT Witches and Warlocks of might, the path of light through windows in the very fabric of the world. There are alternative interfaces allowed by the printer, that involve connecting the printer to the WiFi in hope to provide services to a network, but... the apps just shatter at this point. The magic that connects the app to the printer fails to happen unless the printer provides a QR code that only happens IF the printer is in hotspot behaviour. A conundrum worthy of Kong Qiu himself. To prevail, Windows is your ally. Alas, for the sacred most varied Gods, DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL CANON DRIVERS!!! Use windows to find the printer and let it install it's own drivers. That is not a can of worms, that is a pit of Cobras. Once the ritual is complete, photo printing spell can be cast from any windows app that can sustain access to the printer pools. If windows cannot find the printer, either one of 2; The printer is disconnected from the Wifi (again) or one needs to go straight to the door. Open the log from your router management and search for the last added MAC given IP. Use this IP to directly point windows IPP service to it. It will work. For as long as you don't stary from the path of light , your photos will prevail. As a note of warning. The printer arrives naked. You shall provide all the necessary paper and solid ink cartridges. The best bundle does bring enough material for 108 photos. The quality is fantastic, well worth the fight.

This was delivered about an hour ago and I have already set it up and printed some photos. It was incredibly easy to set up taking less than 5 minutes and that includes the unpacking. I have been using mine to print directly from my iPhone, so I downloaded the app from the App Store and then did everything from my phone as I don’t use memory cards or sticks. It is really straightforward to select photos and add customisation, I tiled images of my granddaughters so I had them both at the same age in one photo, sent to print and I must admit to thinking it was broken for a moment as it just printed in yellow, but then it printed the pink layer, and then the blue before the final white layer, all of which took less than a minute. I wanted to print an image with a month calendar below and the calendar wasn’t an option in the available images but I quickly managed to download one from the web and then add that to the bottom of the photo. Print quality is very good, not quite the quality if you print your photos professionally but still very good. The product feels very sturdy and is small enough and light enough to pop in your bag, it would have been great if there was a small bag to put it in to protect it when in your bag. I would recommend this.

The cannon selphy cp 1500 did not suit my requirement but good product

Arrived fast. Easy setup. Quick connection and easy printing. Bundled with the 108 paper pack, prints a good number of photos. Only disappointment was that it came without any paper/ink to trial with (was expecting something like 10 sheets to start with, but nothing). Everything else works well.

Printed first 100 pictures- easy setup and no issues whatsoever. Noticed that print quality is very much dependent on the source of the data, where pictures f4om professional camera are of very good quality. Cost of one print are about 30p with current price of original cartridge and paper, can be marginally less with replacement products.
