I purchased the Cp 1500 to replace a 5-year old Selphy (Cp 1200) which is still working well despite over a thousand prints flowing through its rollers with only 1 failure. And that failure was the fault of a communication error between my phone and the printer and not the printer itself. I'll pass the old one on to a family member.As a dye sublimation printer there's no messy ink, print susceptibility to smearing or fading. or waiting for a print to dry before handling. Longevity of the print is another plus. No ink, no fading. Relying on dye transfer, the printer passes a sheet of photo paper through the machine four times laying color during the first three passes with last pass adding a protective layer. It takes about 30 seconds per print.Canon's continued support and standardization across the Selphy line deserves special mention. The cartridges used for my older Selphy are the same as that used in the CP 1500. And the price for those cartridges has remained reasonably stable even during these inflationary times. They remain ~32 cents per print which is comparable to local drug store or big box store costs per print.Print quality is excellent. I've left it unused for months and subsequent print quality is the same as if it was under continuous use.For print quality, convenience and price per print, the Selphy beats the hassle of inkjet printers, their expensive ink and susceptibility to clogging during long periods of misuse.If there is a drawback to this photo printer, it's dedicated to the 4" x 6" print standard. That's not a bad thing since most consumers looking for a quick print would prefer the economy of that size print.Wrapping it up: Convenience, cost, durability and print quality are this printer's strengths, and you would be hard pressed to find those four factors in another home printer at this price point.

My parents aren’t tech savvy and like printed photos. Since Costco no longer has a photo department, I’m glad I now have my own on demand photo shop.Yes it has connectivity issues, and the app could be better especially letting you know that the photo won’t be cropped properly. I have wasted about five photos before figuring out you can rotate the photo and record to get more of the picture in the photo.

Easy to set up, easy to connect. Make sure you download the app. I used a Samsung and had no issues. Load the ink, it only fits one way. Open the clear top on the paper compartment, load paper glossy side up, put top back on, lift up the front half and slide into the printer body until both sides click. The paper pushes out the back and front several passes, make sure you have room behind the printer. The colors are slightly muted, but overall I'm happy. It basically looks and feels like an old school 4x6 print. I was worried you'd be able to see the score marks on the sides after ripping off the white edges, but they actually pop of cleanly with almost no marks and no tearing the paper. -- UPDATE -- I'm lowering my review by 1 star for the muted colors. Overall I'm happy with the printer, but I wish the tones were a little more vibrant. I tried oversaturating images before printing to see if it would make a difference and it didn't. Also, the app gives you an option to auto correct and sharpen the image. Without that option the picture has an almost soft blurr, with the option some of the images looked artificially crisp.

I love to scrapbook/ junk journal. I have a HP printer that I had used to print photos - but the ink would smudge and the quality for photos wasn’t awesome. The quality of this photo printer is beautiful (and they don’t smudge). Bonus, I am able to get photos off my phone and into books- whenever I have a chance. It’s easily portable as well. I brought it on a trip to an Airbnb and left the guest book with some photos taken from the location. Print quality:Beautiful!
