Canon SELPHY CP1500 Wireless Dye Sublimation Compact Photo Printer – White

Brand:

Canon

Manufacturer’s Code:

CP1500W

Product Details:

Weighing less than a kilo, and tiny enough to fit into a small bag, the Canon SELPHY CP1500 produces great-looking postcard-sized prints. And it’s a lot of fun to use.

It’s not an inkjet printer, though. The CP1500 uses dye-sublimation technology; an ink ribbon is included with the packs of special photo paper the printer uses. This means there’s no messy ink to worry about and, because of the way the ink colours are layered on top of each other, you get results that are much better than the 300 x 300 dpi resolution would lead you to expect. It takes about 41 seconds to produce each photo print. They have a protective waterproof coating that prevents smudges and fingerprint marks and, while we are going to have a while to wait to prove it, Canon estimates that the prints will last for over 100 years.

You get prints up to 148 x 100mm (6×4″) in size, using Canon RP54, RP108, KP108IN, or KP36IP ink and paper packs. You can connect and print from a computer, tablet or smartphone via USB 2.0 or wireless, Apple AirPrint, Mopria, Canon Print/Inkjet Selphy and Canon Selphy Layout. With a smart device, simply scan the on-screen QR code and follow the prompts. The printer also includes ports for direct printing from flash drives, SD cards, and microSD cards.

You’ll love using the CP1500 for its print-anywhere convenience, but your local photo lab will probably give you somewhat cheaper prints. And if you’re thinking you can drop your postcard-sized prints in the mail like you would a postcard, the prints are too thin — you’ll need to glue them onto a card or stick them in an envelope for posting.

While the CP1500 is technically speaking a portable printer, it doesn’t come with a rechargeable battery (that’s extra). If you plan on taking it places where you will be hard-pressed to find a power outlet, then you need the NB-CP2LH rechargeable Li-ion battery pack which will allow you to print up to 54 prints on a single charge. (Note: this is a special order item — contact us if you wish to order it.)

Disappointingly, Canon doesn’t include any photo paper packs with your purchase of the printer — you have to buy them separately. But once you have printer and paper, that’s when the fun starts.
