@cameralabs

@@ZconN69 to be honest I can't remember the options on the CP1300, but overall the print quality is very similar as they share much the same engine. I generally print high gloss for most of mine.

I used to have a small printer on set for clients to see the day's shoot progress after taping to foam core. Fell out of doing that a few years ago but just recently saw another photographers' work up on the wall (we own a studio we rent out when I'm not shooting) and was so impressed with the quality of the prints. I think it was this printer. Need to get back doing this on certain jobs since I think clients really enjoy seeing their day's work come together with little prints.

Long-time SELPHY user here... Obviously the high print quality is the first reason people would want to buy this kind of printer, but the other compelling reason, and it was barely touched on in this video, is that these dye-sub printers can be put away and pulled out many months later and the "ink" (actually dye) works just as well as it would have when brand new... The significance of this, at least for me, is that I can print all my documents on my color laser printer, but if I want to print a real photo I can do that reliably on the SELPHY, which was certainly not the case when I was using a high quality inkjet photo printer, since those printers hate to be neglected. I only wish Canon would come out with a larger format SELPHY printer, but actually the 4x6 size really is much more useful than I thought it would be when I originally bought my first SELPHY printer. In short: Dye-sub printers are the perfect complement to color (or B&W) laser printers.

I have three of them. I also bought a third party printer definition set from Robin Wong.

Looks cool Sir 🙂

I had been waiting for the updated model since watching your CP1300 review a year or so ago. I recently bought one and have been very happy with it. The per print pricing is actually significantly lower than typical labs here in Japan (about 25 yen per L size print vs 40 yen in a lab) which is a nice bonus. I printed about 200 images after purchasing and do wish that the app was a little more "workflow" oriented. There is a lot of repetition to select options and images (e.g., scrolling through lists of albums on your phone), and you are often kicked back out to the home screen to do it all again. Very typical of Canon (and I dare say Japanese) software design, though.

@cameralabs

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback, yes I agree, the app is designed for one print at a time and can get laborious for multiple prints at once. That's interesting your lab costs are high in Japan. Some of ours are too, but I was more referring to online labs which can be much cheaper per print, but also have delivery charges and of course waiting times.

I'm actually quite impressed at how small the printer is. As well as the quality of the prints. Much better than film or ZINK imho.

I understand that film has its charm and a certain look.....but just from an objective, purely quality assessment.....it's dye sublimation in my books. I have to seriously consider buying one of these.

I've owned a Canon Selphy for a few years now and for sure it gives very decent results. My issue however has always been the cost, I've since moved to an Epson Ecotank printer for my small prints. I can print up to A4 size, I'm not just stuck with 6 X 4 sized prints. Of course portability wise this little Canon has it licked. I've also got an Instax printer too, again not particularly cheap to print to and my printer only does the mini prints which are considerably smaller than the Selphy. Nice review Gordon 👍

@@opmenglish413 Never had any issues with mine, however I produce my own custom ICC profiles for the " non Epson " papers that I use. Assuming you are using Epson photo paper and you select the correct media type in the print driver ( so if you use glossy Epson paper be sure to select glossy paper as the type you use in the print dialog driver ). This will ensure the driver selects the correct ICM profile for your paper and colours should be essentially spot on. Are you printing through Lightroom/Photoshop or via Epson's own software. You might be inadvertently double profiling ( i.e.telling Photoshop to control colour but also selecting the driver to also do it, it should be one or the other never both! ). If you are printing on 3rd party papers then all bets are off because your printer doesn't know the exact properties of the paper you are using and so will lay down ink based on the media type you selected in the driver. I would suggest buying a pack of Epson Glossy paper ( any one, doesn't matter ), select glossy as the media type in the driver dialog and ensure whatever software you are using to print from is set so that the printer ( not the application ) is controling colour. You should then get more or less perfect prints with no colour cast. The only other thing that might be happening is you've put the wrong colour ink into the tanks, easily done 😮 If you have then you'll never get it rectified without draining the tanks entirely and starting again 😕

Great video as usual. I've owned several of these CP series printers, and every one of them has developed the same issue where it fails to recognize the print tray, right after advancing the paper through and wasting one picture's worth of ink medium. It's happened to me with two of them in a row, both brand new, within 50 prints. I found that I could spray contact cleaner and compressed air into the sides of the area where the tray latches into the printer and it helps. Or I can also manually hold the tray downward, there's a trick to it, and you only have to do this til it starts printing the first color pass. Then you can let go and it will finish. So my question is, did you have any troubles with the print tray failing to be recognized or the printer producing errors about it? It does seem like they redesigned the tray for this model, it looks sturdier than the previous ones.

Can you hardwire print to this selphy printer ? I see it has a type c connection. So I’m guessing you from pc (type A usb) to printer (usb type C)?

Sadly the prints come out of the printer rather dark😢 and it is guessing on how much you have to edit the image to get the right color

thank you for this review. i assume then if its sliding the paper back and forth and not bending it in any way, you can put any thickness stock in there ? or does it prefer the "selphy" stock? and how does it print on credit card sized paper; does it have those little adjustable arms that align different sizes? i specifically want to print on 3.5 x 2.2" which it says it can do but i don't understand how, or if it'll require trimming from me. thank you so much

You need to use their paper, it's designed to work with the dye sub process and ribbon inks.

Hello, thank you for your reviews. I like it a lot. I'm going to take one. Just one question please, how many pictures we can print with 1 dose of ink?

@cameralabs

The ink and paper are sold together, so you have exactly the right amount, no spare. I mention some packs in the video.

Very helpful review. I am looking to replace a very old Sony dye-sub printer that died over the weekend. This looks to be the only printer of its kind on the market now.

Yes, there aren't many dye sub options

@@cameralabs indeed. I was surprised given how useful they for small snap printing as well as easy to use. The Canon's consumables look very similar to the Sony. I've ordered one and will see what it is like.

I wish they had made it powered by USB C PD. But I guess that could hit the battery sales but camera + battery is probably as heavy as camera plus power brick to carry around.

Yes, that would have been good, although maybe you'd need a specific pack in order to supply the correct amount of power? I'll suggest it for the next one.

How is the quality of the semi glossy and satin finishes? Also does the printer apply noise reduction or other automatic things and can they be turned off?

@cameralabs

They look ok, they're just a little less glossy, not matt.

Hello Gordon, Could I ask if you would be able to speak with Canon regarding their 'App' and the ability to print in a 'Square' format. It would be great if this is possible as the smaller printer Canon offers that prints small square prints cost far more to print.

Yes, they use different technologies. I think you can get a tray for different paper shape son the CP1500, but not sure if there's a square - there should be though as it's a popular shape

Nice Video, tx

Hi Gordon! Many people are having issues with white balance on this printer, (everything tend to yellow) do you know about this problem? And the external battery pack is crazy expensive! I'm considering something like Liene photo printer but I'm afraid about the discontinuous availability of the paper.

You mean connect the printer? You could use a USB cable. Maybe download the manual in PDF to read the options.

How is the color stability on these prints? Any sense of how long they’re likely to last, on the fridge, in a scrapbook or notebook, etc.?

They make bold claims, but I can say I've had some from the CP1300 which are a few years old now and look fine. Obviously so long as you don't have them in sunlight.

Thinking of buying this for my sister for Christmas. She loves photos. But not sure if it will be cost effective. Can't decide 🙃
