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.

Gordon, thanks for this fine review. I know it takes a lot of work and I appreciate it. Also thanks for being so diligent in reading and responding to comments. Good job!

[domtomazo]

Great timing! Was just looking at printers like this one, for quick and easy sharing of prints with friends and family :)

I got the CP1300, but haven't used it for about a year. Now I want to take it out of storage and print some pictures... thanks (again) for inspiring me.

I recently got one (CP1500) and absolutely love it. The quality (resolution and color reproduction) is more than enough I believe the value for money, for the fun you get from printing at home is amazing!

[nrfanall]

thanks for the video, I was looking at getting a home photo printer to get some photos physical, I lost too many to switching phones causing them to get blurry (not sure if I explained it right). Price wise it seems to be perfect and your review helped me make the decision, thanks for helping me decide on my first ever printer

[myronachtman]

Gordon, this is an excellent review of the CP1500. Great job!

[danniemikeey]

I have an inkjet printer that does photos but I hate the outcome of them and even with the special photo paper they come out bad and they take forever to dry! I'll definitely get this one. I want to start scrapbooks! Thank you so much for your review and all of the wonderful useful I formation💕

Thank you for the detailed video, I always seem to watch your videos when thinking of ant photo printer cause you cover mostly everything and yet the videos are also interesting! Keep at it I’m hitting the sub button

I had spent weeks trying to decide whether or not to purchase a Selphy. After watching your very helpful video, I placed my order. Thanks for sharing.

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.

Those are some high quality photos. I'll book mark that for sure, thank you for the tip.

Another great informative video - cheers for your help setting up my new Canon cp1500 👍🏻

[DamianBrown]

Still got the cp800, which I've found very handy over the years. It's a big shame they still haven't really included a decent battery pack.

[Kingjay]

I had no idea that they’re were printers like this. I was considering an instax because it was the only small form factor printer I’d ever seen

[chrispatmore]

I have the previous model and found that converting B&W shots to CMYK first gives much better results. Of course that has to be done from a computer or iPad with a decent image editor.

You did an incredible job reviewing the Canon SELPHY CP1500. I just bought one using your Amazon link for a review well done.

[loveiamus]

This was amazing from beginning to end! Thank you!

I ordered one after seeing this. I was thinking of a smaller one for on the road. But honestly, it takes time to select the good image, swap it to the printer after processing.
I guess too long for the person still being around me. So i will give them later on after a home print
