No footage of the final images though... well there was footage but its not in focus, so there is no way to tell what kind of image this thing produces.

After using this printer for events for many years and thousands of prints I can attest that this printer is a sweet deal. The color balance is very close to WSIWG so long as your system is calibrated. It prints fairly fast and is extremely economical at about .30 cents US. Great resolution as well! My only complaint is that unfortunately it only prints 4x6 :( > A 5x7 version would be killer! The best thing apart from the quality is that when you buy a paper pack you know exactly how many prints you're getting (103 prints) and there's no waste of ink! Highly recommended.

Hi! What happens if I have images with other ratios instead of 4x6, such as 5x7 or 4x5? Will the printer print the full image or it will cut the original image on borders?

canon phone application has different features for this model than for cp1500? I can see only one canon app i android store. So are the features different for different models?

Great review. These printers are wonderful while they work. We have the old CP1200. We didn't use it that much for the past 5 years and recently it stopped working - stuck on Canon screen and can't boot to menu. Searched the internet and it turns out a lot of people are having this problem. It doesn't matter if the printer has been used at all. Generally after the waranty expires, this happens at some point. Spoke with an authorised Canon repair shop and they told me Canon doesn't make spares for the Selphy line, so they can't repair it. Some people had luck with different tricks to make it start, but they didn't work for me. I was considering buying the newer CP1300, but searched online and it turns out it has the same issue, as well as other hardware issues with paper detection erros, etc. So keep that in mind when you buy the printer - at some point after 1-2 years (most people online had it happen in that period) it could become a paperweight. Also, factor the price of the printer in the cost per print. For us it almost trippled the price of the existing prints after it kicked the bucket.

Great video - I just treated myself to one of these babies, although I have two printers at home as well (which used to be good for photos... not anymore). I am an avid scrapbooker, so I tend to print hundreds of pics every few months. I order them online, of course, because this would not be at all economical, but it sure is sweet to have this at my fingertips when I need a pic or two to complete my layout. Thanks for sharing :)

hi Gordon, thanks for the great video review. are you familiar with adjusting aspect ratios and cropping before sending to this printer? particularly with smartphone photos. Smartphone photo aspect ratios are not typically 3 by 2 so parts of the picture are usually chopped off. but it seems none of the canon apps allow for control of cropping.

Great and very clear, efficient review. Thx 🙏

Excellent review and instructional video. I’m sold.

The gammut is not extremely wide, so I am not sure if it matters. But interesting question as the cartridge is more cmyk than rgb. I shall test this.

Great video. Gordon, I got my printer for Christmas and just opened it up recently. I printed a couple of pictures for my son but the first picture only did one pass and came out yellow and the next two only passed twice and was red and didn't do the final 2 passes. Have you ever heard of that and if so, how would I fix it? Is it possible the box didn't come with all the ink?

Thanks man have a nice day awesome video.

Can you customize it? Like for an event I want to set up a photo booth so can I set it up as when people take selfies and print out the strips then there would be a customized font at the bottom of the strip? Like they do for weddings where the photo strip has the bride’s and groom’s name and date of the wedding on there?

can this print on sticker paper? and does it also make matte prints? or are they only glossy

Can i put multiple images in random orientation and random side over one printing paper and then print?

Salutations from California, thanks for the info.

mini print guys, amazing you'r video

At 2:25 you skipped the connection sequence, you just said that the printer has already been connected to your wi-fi network. Then in the CP1500 review around 12:00 mark you pointed out that the CP1500 creates a wi-fi connection directly to the printer, which acts as an access point. After these two reviews I was under the impression that the CP1300 does not have the direct wi-fi mode, but I watched another video which proved that both models have the same wi-fi features, that is, either going through an external access point, or establishing a direct connection to a smartphone. I am glad that I double-checked and watched another video, because the CP1300 for half the price of the CP1500 is good enough for me :)

Yes, they both allow you to share it as a printer on a wifi network, or create a point to point wifi connection directly with one device. It's always worth downloading the manual for something like this so you can check or confirm the operation.

7:05 is it still this slow or have there been some software updates etc.? is the printer still good today or could there be a better option in 2021?
