This was unbelievably helpful. I struggled to find a really good review that actually talked about the usage and photo comparisons instead of just the manufacturing info. This was the detailed review I needed. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear it helped you! 🤗 TFW
Thank you ! It was a very helpful video ! Have you checked out any of the Kodak mini portable printers ? Any advice on those ?
How much
I own the Canon Selphy, too, and it has never disappointed me in the five years I own it (I use it at least once a week). Crafty hugs from Carmen, Germany 🇩🇪
I'm just getting into these. The BEST review on CZcams. Clear, lots of info. Thank you.😊
Glad it was helpful!
Standing Ovation for this review!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make this. You are amazing.
My pleasure!
You can get 2x3 sticker paper for the Selphy but it's quite expensive. The "Selphy Creative Kit" comes with a smaller paper tray, smaller paper and mini sticker sheets. You can also buy the smaller paper tray on it's own (PCC-CP400) then the products are KC-18IF for the 18 small sticker sheets, KC-36IP for the 36 small non-sticker sheets, and KC-18IL for the 18 mini sticker sheets.
Thank you!
does it work with the qx10? none of the online pages say it work with that..
Thank you so much for this review. Knowledgable, impartial and truthful of the poducts. It's also quite nice you printed the two same photos for every printer for a real colour comparison.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Dia. Thank you for the great overview of your photo printers. I have been considering the Selphy and now I will for sure be getting it. Thanks!
You are so welcome! Glad I could help!
Loved this, wish all reviews were this helpful. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great comparison video. Thank you!
I had just ordered a Selphy cp 1500, then I saw your video. After watching I’m still happy with my choice. Thanks for sharing.
It's an excellent choice!
perfect review, I go for Canon Selphy CP1300, Thank you!
This is great review. Thank you!
This was so helpful. Thanks much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Very helpful and thanks for mentioning the HP Sproket !
You bet!
There are a number of 2x3 zink printers out. After testing out a few, I ended up keeping the canon ivy 2. It ultimately came down to the app for me (and having a usbc charging port was nice).
I think I'm in need of an upgrade! I still have the first Canon Ivy.
I have the liene 2x3 and I love it.
I think both the kodak mini 2 retro, and the polaroid hi print printers are 2x3 dye sub printers as well. I wish canon would make a 2x3 dye sub as well!
Thank you for this video! This was so helpful. I think I'm going to buy the Canon Selphy.
That is a great choice!
What a great run through! I have the Selphy, the Canon Ivy and the HP Sprocket...prefer the pics from the Selphy, but I love the convenience of the Canon Ivy/HP Sprocket. Now I am super curious about the Canon Square!!
Awesome! Thank you!
How are your Sprocket photos? I’m disappointed with mine as the colours are weird and nothing really fixes it. I don’t want to have to try and mess with every single photo to try to counteract odd tints.
@@traceybartlam7737 I have to admit my sprocket pics aren’t that great either. They are darker and somewhat colored weird, but I still use it occasionally. I prefer my SELPHY as the pics look great on it.
great comparison! love this video! i picked up the ivy thanks to you!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@DiaMeraz have been printing 2 photos per day so far. Loving it
I also have the Canon Selphy 1300. There is a smaller cartridge with sticker backing. :) It's called card size and it's 2.1x3.4 in print :)
Awesome review! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for such helpful video.
thinking maybe to get a printer for myself, searching for info.
Hi! I have both the selphy and sprocket. I love both of them. Had a hard time figuring out how to get the selphy T times but not fault of the printer
This is amazing. Thank You ❤️
Glad you like it!
Very helpful, thank you 💕🎀
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching! 😉
Thanks for comparing the different line of canon printers, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that yet. I got an ivy for the portability and size but the colors aren’t the best.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I was wondering which one had the thinnest paper and couldn't find the answer until I came to this video. I might go for either Canon Ivy or HP Sprocket for the print size.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!!
Very informative. I previously owned both the Canon Selphy 12 and 13 but I didn't like the fact that the prints were not true 4x6 and have since switched to the Epson PM 400 which I absolutely love. It prints 4x6 and 5x7.
Thank you so much for sharing! The fact that it is not a true 4x6 has always bothered me too. And it would be so nice to be able to print 5x7 as well, especially since that's what most of the frames around my house are. This is definitely going on my wish list!
Great review! I was a portrait photographer for a local grocery giant for many years, so I also did the photo lab work as well. The Canon Selphies use the exact same technology as the instant Kodak kiosks used in many photo labs and studios, so you're absolutely right when you say the quality is comparable. Most labs now use standard inkjet printers now as well, not the old tech using chemicals, so a high quality home printer will compare well with them. Labs who take 35mm film often scan film to print on inkjets.
Thanks for all the great info!
Wow thanks for that info!
Is the cost comparable too?
they do make a battery pack you can get for the canon selphy
Thank you very much. I can’t decide between two Selphys. I wish you gave us the price of both the carriages and paper.
I have a choice to make.
Hello Dia, the Selphy printers (CP1200 & CP1300) can also be battery operated.
WHAT?!!!! I had no clue. I just looked it up, thank you so much for sharing that with me 🤗
Whaaa the square is sticker paper… I have the selphy 1500 and I looove it … I wished it was portable and can use sticker paper
Great great video so helpful and so perfect all the details!! I give this video a 100/10 ⭐️ thank you for making this
Glad it was helpful!
I’m thinking of getting the Kodak Mini 2 Retro. It’s 2x3 & appears to have good color.
I think Kodak is the only one I haven't really checked out. I would love an update on what you think of it!
canon selphy you can purchase external battery for it to make it more portable
love it me subscribed
Thanks for sharing. Which of these have the best value in terms of upfront cost + refills? Also, I think you have the Ivy 1. I'm curious how it stacks up to the Ivy 2.
I feel like the Canon Selphy is the best value, and better quality. But it's not sticker paper. I tend to gravitate to that one the most. Especially since I can fit several pictures on one page. I will usually do 4, and they come out the same size as the sticker printers. Hope that helps!
Cost-wise, and image-quality -
how does it compare to sending to print (either online, or to local print like Walgreens)?
I know the convenience of printing is nice, but I’m ok with waiting for prints.
Thanks for sharing this video.
I enjoyed it!
Honestly, I cringe a little every time I have to buy refills for any of these printers. If you don't mind waiting, I would send them off to be printed! I love these for their convenience 🤗
Hi, love the review, thank you. Will the Canon Selphy fit into that cute pouch?
Sadly, it does not 😞 I was able to get the printer in it, but the charging cable and photo tray don't fit. When I do take it with me I use my Delfonics pouch 🤗
@@DiaMeraz Thank you for letting me know :)
I have the Kodak mini 2 and I think it's most comparable to the Selphy square. I think its really good but there is one problem; It doesn't have the option to use sticker paper. Apparently there used to be sticker paper for it but it was discontinued. I stick it in my journal with washi tape but it would be nice if there was a thinner paper.
That's good to know. Thank you!
This video is so helpful. One thing I'd love to know, is how cost effective each of them are, in terms of ink cost, refill paper, etc. I'm watching Jan 1, 2024 and the IDPRT is not available on Amazon right now.
Good question! I think the Canon Selphy has the best value. The only downside is that it's not sticker paper and not as portable as the others. I will keep using my Canon Ivy for the smaller ones and eventually upgrade to the newer version. I only use it occasionally, though; I feel like it is a bit expensive for refills.
Thank you, this is super helpful to know. I think the sticker paper is a priority for me, so the Ivy is likely the best fit for me.
This was so helpful!! Thank you! How is the Selphy CP1300 photo thickness? After watching this, I think I'll try the Selphy Square which I didn't know existed!! Just wondering tho if the photo thickness of the non-square Selphy is similar to the square Selphy? [Trying not to bulk up my Wonderland222 planner so quickly!] Thanks so much!!
The paper in the larger Selphy is a bit thicker than the Selphy Square, and then once you add adhesive, that could make it a tad bit thicker too. You may want to stick with the Square, but I did notice that my last batch of sticker paper didn't stick as well. Not sure if maybe it was expired, or if it was the type of material I was trying to stick it too.
Thank you so much@@DiaMeraz for taking the time to get back to me! I will be floating the Selphy Square idea out as a bday gift I would love :P ..or just buy it now :P Thanks again!!!
Excellent review video...A quick question...I am looking for a portable printer to use in conjunction with a digital camera. I know the Canon Selphy 1300 can print from a digital camera, but can any of the others? Or are they only compatible with Android and iOS devices?
Thank you! And I think the only way you could print from the smaller printers is if your camera has an app for your phone. Then you could transfer your photos to your phone from that app, and then use the printer app to print. Hope that helps!
@@DiaMeraz Thanks for that, much appreciated!
Hello, Dia! Thanks very much for this comprehensive vid. I'm just wondering, how is the Selphy holding up? TIA!
My Selphy is holding up great! I had my previous one for years before it quit on my. It's still my favorite small photo printer!
@@DiaMeraz thanks for the response! Decided to purchase one though the 1500 version since it's what's available here, and I can't wait!
Thanks. Do you have any problems with QX10 ? Such as paper jam or other issues
I am so sorry, I just saw this! I have not had any trouble with the QX10. I usually have paper problems with the Canon Ivy though. The paper always bends and won't feed though.
You do get a battery for Canon Selphy, so it is portable.
I have both the Selphy and the Ivy, and the quality out of the Selphy is definitely much better. I hear the Ivy 2 produces improved prints. I’ve played a little with contrast, color balance, and saturation on the Ivy, and it helps, but it can be expensive.
That's good to know about the Ivy 2. I may have to upgrade sometime soon, but the cost of the sticker paper does make me hesitant. Convenience can be so expensive 😣
Great video! I noticed that the photo of your family from the Selphy has the edges cut off- the gentleman’s face and the woman’s arms on the sides. Can you fix that prior to printing. Also, are the inks lightfast? Thank you!
Photos can be fixed prior to printing, that was just poor photography skills on our part 😆 And honestly, I am not sure if it is lightfast. 😊
Did the pictures come out the same for the cannon SELPHY and the cannon SELPHY square? Do you see a difference in color quality?
I feel like the quality is the same! The paper is just different.
Something like the can selpy is Kodak retro 3.. but it is not lasting my cartridge keep messing up until it spoilt
I had a friend whose Selphy stopped working correctly, but that was quite a few years back. It's a bummer that they have a few bad ones out there, but for the most part, the two I have owned have worked really well. Maybe reach out to Canon?
Since you said you’ve used older version of canon selphy cp1300 for several years now, would you be able to attest that the photo quality is good? Does it fade over time?
Also, can you cut in small pieces if you make a collage?
I'm sure they will eventually fade, but so far, they are still going strong. The Canon Selphy images are more vibrant and clear than some of my other older printer images. I feel it is by far the best quality of them all.
@@DiaMeraz I appreciate your response. looking for photo printer that would last fot years as it will be for my baby’s book.
Congrats on your baby! And nothing compares to lab prints, but this is the next best thing. Best of luck!@@bellabelles29m22
Question about the Canon Selphy Square QX10. Where can I get more Ink Cassette for it?
I usually purchase mine on Amazon, but I have grabbed a refill at Best Buy in the past.
Can the IDPRT use the same paper as a the Canon Ivy if I run out of the paper?
I believe it can. I haven't done it, but I have seen others do it.
i'm about to order the newer CP1500 and i think you can power it via a Powerbank. So it get's "portable".
Did you come across any stickerpaper for the cp1300 in the time since you made this video?
cant imagine there are no 3rd party supplier for stickers..
I have heard that you can use a power bank! That is so good to know. As for the sticker paper, I haven't really looked but I would think someone out there is making a compatible sticker paper. Let me know if you find some. Thanks for watching!
Can i use different paper brand for selphy??❤
I haven't tried a different brand in my Selphy, but I have with my Canon Ivy and it worked perfectly fine. Hope that helps a little!
hi dia, i need one for my camera, which of these do you rwcomnend ?
I would have to say my favorite is the Canon Selphy because you can print a variety of sizes. I feel like it has the best print quality too!
Great review!
Thanks!
I see there is a Canon Selpy 1500. Is that one as good?
It’s the same image quality, just a newer model. No IQ upgrades.
Plzz can you tell which app you have used to print canon
I use PicStitch to build my collages and then i just use the recommended Canon App to print on the Sephy. Hope that helps!
Have you tried a Sprocket? I love that kind. ❤
I tried one years ago and ended up returning it to Costco, but i may give it another try! Thanks 😊
It is portable with additional battery and also works on WiFi
Do you have a cost per print for each of these?
I'm sorry, I do not. I know I did at one time, but like everything else, the cost has gone up 😑
The Canon Selphy is a portable printer. It actually uses batteries. It does NOT need to be plugged into the wall. The batteries are sold separately though.
Whenever I use matte finish, it looks like crap with the Selphy
If I remember correctly, I don't use it for that reason as well. I forgot it even had that option!
It has a battery available.
The Selphy actually is portable, but it requires purchasing a separate battery.
ok
Who else hears a minecraft sound effect at 😂 10:49
I have an HP Sprocket, the picture colour quality isn’t that good and the pictures bow to
