Canon SELPHY CP900 Wireless Color Photo Printer

I bought this printer for my craft room so I can print out pictures at my convenience for use in my Smash books. So far I have printed about 20 photos, and I am pleased with the results. It was easy to load the app and use it to connect to the printer. That being said, I've had a couple of minor difficulties. The printer didn't find my regular account on my wireless router, but found my guest network. Basically, this means that I have to switch my wifi from my regular account to my guest account in the settings on my iPhone before the phone can connect to the printer wirelessly. Also, after submitting a photo (or group of photos), I have to completely close out of the app and reopen it again to send the next selection of photos to print. This was frustrating at first when I couldn't figure out why my phone and the printer weren't communicating. These being the biggest issues I've had, I still gave the product 5 stars because these things take me seconds to do and I still get great photos printed easily at home. As far as photo quality, I think it's great. The photos are crisp and clear. I love that there is no drying time like with an ink jet printer. It's very cool watching the printing process and seeing each color get laid down. If you are printing sensitive photos, you have to decide how to dispose of the ink roller because there is an exact negative of your photo left behind as the ink is used. You can't burn it because the ink is heat reactive, so other disposal options are necessary. You also get the exact number of photos it says on the refill packaging - there is no "leftover" ink. Prints cost about 27 cents each. This means I'll still be going to Costco for large orders of prints, but for those few I need right now...this is the printer for me.

wow! what a surprise and delight this printer has been. i am a long time user of dye sub printers for pictures. if you are looking to print out a few things here and there...or even have a crafty project...this is a great alternative to using a digital print house service. sometimes i just want to give my mom a few pictures of the kid, or make a card or a quick gift for a friend. this printer can more than meet those expectations. it is FAST! i am coming off of using a sony dye sub printer which was very slow, large and clunky. the tech has come a long way. i spent $300 on my original dye sub printer, now $63 for this pretty canon is unbelievable. also the canon replacement cartridge and papers are extremely reasonable. it comes to about .20¢ a print. you can print wirelessly over your network once you connect the printer and download the canon selphy app to your phone. easy. the only drawback to using your phone vs computer is that you can not adjust the size of the image to be printed. in other words, my square hipstagram pictures get chopped off. but the regular sized iphone pictures look just fine. so for the fancy square images or experimentations, best to stick with printing from the computer. but that said, wireless printing from mobile is flawless, fast and dead simple. did i mention it's pretty. it is. it is small and takes up hardly any space at all. i bought a white one. did i mention is quiet? it is. you could easily do some last minute, late night printing. i mentioned printing those retro-square images. you can easily do this when you plug the selphy into the computer using USB and using your iPhoto app, or the canon app. you pick the 4x6 /PAPER/ size and then you can select a preset for the /IMAGE/ size or create a custom size to fit the paper. for example, i print my hipstagram images at about 3.8x3.8 to the canon and then just trim the edges off. you can even make them slightly smaller and print 2 images to a page. i like to experiment this way making cards, so this is handy. bottom line: the images look very good. as most home-use printers, it's never going to be a full on replacement to the bigger services, but it's darn close. you can adjust using iPhoto or photoshop to warm the image and sharpen it a bit and then print. they look very good. again, this printer is a very good alternative to sending your prints out to a digital service. it probably won't take their place, but it sure is great in a pinch, or for crafts. heck, it's plenty fine for your photo album too. but i don't want to say it's a replacement for pro prints and obviously print sizes beyond 4x6.

nifty little machine, does great photos and you can play around with the sizing, and with it being wifi makes life so easy.

a little more set up than anticipated when you want to print but overall good product with good quality prints.

Very easy to use and prints great pictures.

We had a canon selphy before so we knew what was coming so no surprise. very pleased. Reason we needed a new one is because the old one started to miss feeding the paper and canon wanted $75.00 to service it.

Absolutely love this. So convenient.
