My new printer had to offer quick and fuss free printing of photos from my camera or phone.
The Canon Selphy looked to be a good bet, and it is a joy to use. Install the ribbon cassette and put the paper in the paper tray and off you go.
The printer uses dye sublimation and to produce a photo, the paper is passed through the printer four times. Each pass adds another layer of dye, or the final protective layer to keep it clean and mark free for a long lifetime.
The print quality is outstanding. There is no visible banding or pixilation and the finished print is as good as any I've seen from anywhere. In printer features allow for basic editing and offers various print styles such as passport pictures
Printing from USB, SD Cards, Android or Apple phones via the Canon App or direct from your PC, the range of options is very good. Sadly, Canon have decided not to produce software for Windows 8. The software runs on any Windows OS up to and including Windows 7. That's a shame, but copying an image out to USB or an SD Card gets over that one.
All in all, I'm delighted with this printer and would recommend it to anyone wanting high quality, easy to use and fuss free printing.
The pluses are -
- good speed of print out
- high quality photos, that look very professional - easily better than standard ink jet photo printers
- easy to use with SD/MMC card or USB cable.
The downsides -
- Canon support is woeful. It seems as they've already made this printer end of life.
- NO Windows 8 or 8.1 support (and appears they have no plans to add). Bizarre approach to take.
- NO Apple OS Mavericks support. Again, disgraceful stance. After hunting on the internet, I found a way to adapt the Mountain Lion driver to work under Mavericks, in about 5 minutes by altering the install package - but why have Canon not released this already?
- Very flakey WiFi - Infrastructure mode is so hit and miss - can connect no problems, then the next time you turn it on, Wifi connection is gone - even though printer hasn't moved, and router is still 3 feet away.
In summary - a good buy, but check your Operating System first, and don't assume it will support the latest versions.
I'd also strongly consider the cheaper Canon SELPHY CP810 Compact Photo Printer - White as you don't get the Wifi, but it's hit or miss anyway, easier to use the cable. However, be careful with prices, as often they hover quite close - you should be able to get the CP810 for
At parties, we now chronicle the night, sticking the photos on the fridge as we go. Perfect for a photo booth at a wedding/party too as everyone goes home with a photo of themselves.
Pros:
Small size- easy to carry.
Easy to use.
Has an app so friends can send pictures to print too.
Easy to reload paper/ink.
Fairly quiet.
Works best through Wifi, but also takes SD cards and USBs.
Cons:
Although the printer is cheap enough to buy, paper and ink is a bit pricey.
Not so great if no wifi is available.
Can buy a special bag separately, but also a bit pricey.
1. Setup the CP900
2. Configure wi-fi in infrastructure mode (i.e. connecting to an access point)
3. Disable driver signing enforcement in Windows 8:
• From the Charms bar, select Settings then Change PC Settings.
• Select General and scroll down to Advanced Startup and click restart now.
• From the menu, select troubleshooting then Advanced Options then windows startup options.
• Restart again and select number 7, Disable driver signature enforcement.
• PC will boot up as normal.
4. Download the right driver application (i.e. Windows 7 64 bit in my case) from the Canon website, or find it in the correct folder on the supplied DVD-ROM
• Now Right Click the driver application file and select troubleshoot compatibility.
• Go through the procedure and tell it that the driver worked in Windows 7
• Click on Test and the driver should then install and work - there may be an error message but it can be ignored.
Using the above I was able to print from a PC, and also from an Android smartphone by downloading the Canon Easy Photo Printer (EPP) from Play Store.
But the second problem was that the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch version of EPP wouldn’t work – I just got a ‘No printer can be found‘ message. I finally found that this could be resolved by temporarily switching the Wi-Fi configuration of the CP900 to ‘Ad-hoc’ mode and connecting the Apple devices to this – they could then see the CP900 and print photos. However this work-around means a constant switching of wi-fi settings.
Overall – it’s hard to recommend this printer if you have Windows 8 (or plan to upgrade to it), and/or want to print from Apple mobile devices. Hopefully Canon will sort these quite serious problems out quickly – 4* or even 5* may then be merited.
I'm no stranger to pushing pixels around processing software, feeding my computer with Nikon DSLR and Fuji X series digicam images and also 35mm film scans. Compared to the labs in town this is every bit as good on this format. Let's face it, with 6x4 aspect ratio (matches pretty well with DSLR 3x2 although not exactly strangely, even when cropped to exactly the pixel ratio in processing) you can't get much wrong as long as you feed it decent resolution and well exposed files. Even a modest modern DLSR packs enough punch to print way larger, I've printed 18x12 from a Fuji X100 recently from the lab and these still look excellent, even close it's very difficult to see artefacts.
As such, if you want a quick impressive print at this format, you cannot go wrong with this printer.
Full marks within it's chosen remit, I'll be printing on this to save a trip to the lab for a regular print for some time to come.
PS - yes the cartridge and paper have exactly enough for 36 prints from each pack, watching the paper pass through the printer and then back 4 times is still a modern miracle to me. No idea how it really works but it is as simple as they say it is.
I own a Selphy CP900 which I use at events so it is essential for me to have the printer and associated accessories to hand.
The bag is very well made, its has good padding that is thick and stiff so the bag holds it shape very well. The main interior is a light grey throughout and features two velcro-fastened dividers that can be moved around. There is also a velcro strap to hold the printer unit in to the bag.
The main pouch holds the printer, a spare ink ribbon, power pack, plug, USB lead and the paper cassette (which I have stored in a flap inside the lid of the main pouch. There is a zipped, slim pouch on the front that easily holds a few packs of 6x4in paper.
This bag is actually very well made for the price and is the perfect fit for the Selphy range. I have used mine a lot and it gets pretty rough treatment, it has remained in tip-top condition and, more importantly, it has protected my printer.
Brilliant little bag.
The printer will not print any jpeg picture, ie facebook or email picture, only from an original.
Originally, I bought this printer because I started offering photobooths at the weddings I photographed, and sometimes the bride would want prints immediately to give to her guests. This little printer did the job beautifully, and is very fast!
My assistant printed off photos while I took shots at the photobooth, and the brides have always been very happy.
At home, I use it personally for scrapbooking, and I printed Christmas cards to send to family last year. I adore this little workhorse. Buy it. You'll love it.
There is an excellent review on here by R. Beedall that explains how the Windows 7 drivers can be made to work with a couple of simple operating system tweaks. This worked perfectly for me.
The printer itself is fast and the prints are of excellent quality. The wireless functionality works both in Infrastructure (connecting via a router) or Ad hoc modes. Take care that pre jelly bean (e.g. ice cream sandwich) android phones will not connect to Ad hoc networks (without hacking/root'ing them).
I personally use the Seagate 1TB Wireless Plus Mobile Device Storage portable external hard drive to create an infrastructure WLAN when I'm out and about, then connect both my Windows 8 tablet and Selphy CP900 to it. Gives me complete wireless freedom to take my photos, store them on the Seagate, post-process on my tablet in Adobe Lightroom and then print them to my Selphy. And because the Seagate is essentially a battery powered router I can connect it to either my mobile's portable wifi hotspot or a public hotspot, connect to the Internet and publish them to Flickr, Facebook or back them up to the cloud - all without needing a single mains cable.
NB I power the Selphy and recharge my tablet and Seagate using the very excellent GoalZero Sherpa 50 Li-ion battery pack, which itself recharges via a GoalZero Nomad 13 solar panel ([...]).
(I have to do it this way as the printer is also incompatible with Windows 8 (Canon having decided not to create a driver - EVER)
So it's now worthless to me. Have checked forums and Canon say there is nothing tpo be done - no workaround or alternative.
Please consider this as it's pretty pathetic really - as if anyone wants to print straight out of the camera.
This printer does exactly that and is very simple to use. I mostly print from an sd card straight out of my camera, but have printed from my iPhone using the Canon app. I haven't tried it from my computer, as that's not what I wanted it for.
The quality is mostly great and prints come off fairly.
I mainly print 4x6, but I love that it is able to print several smaller pictures on one page as I often use 3x4 photos in my projects.
It's very portable too. I recently took it on our holiday and was able to start my scrapbook before we got home.
It's not perfect though. I have noticed that it crops my photo a little; I have lost the top part of people's heads! I am however still getting used to it, so maybe I'll figure out how to stop this. I also think it would work out quite expensive to print out a whole batch of photos and will continue to order online for that.
