After reading the negative reviews I was not sure about this printer but decided for the price, it was worth the risk. I have used to for several months now and can say it is GREAT!!! If you take a poor quality photo, your prints are going to be the same"¦.low quality! I've printed pictures taken both with my digital camera and my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Naturally, I edited my photos first but the prints are great! Could they be better? With a higher quality printer that cost $800 or more, absolutely! With the cost of the printer and the ink packages, you are spending pennies per print. Just be sure to crop accordingly as the edges are perforated and need to be torn off so you lose about 1/8" of the photo. That does leave a tiny perforated edge but no one will notice unless you point it out. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it as a fun, inexpensive, and easy to use printer.

I always loved this little printer cause I scrapbook. This machine will even print pictures from your phone

I have one of those all-in-one ink jet printers. Great to print documents but not so much for decent images. Ink is pricey & there is always the hassle of at least one cartridge running out of ink not to mention changing cartridges & getting printer back up to proceed. I needed a fast, easy & inexpensive way to print a bunch of images for court filing. After much research, reading consumer reviews & watching videos, I chose the Canon Selphy CP1300. Fast Amazon shipping had it in my hands in no time. It is compact but solid. Instructions were pretty straight forward & easy enough to follow. Had that printer up and running in less time than it takes to cook a pot of grits. I figure if this ol' 70+ granny can do it then easy peasy for others.

Before printing make sure nothing is against back of the printer like the power cord that would impede the paper as it goes back and forth when printing.

Quality"¦Ok, not that of an expensive pigment ink archival large format printer (which I use to own for award winning prints) but a darn good better than most of those cheap ink jets!

You are limited to no larger than a 4"x6" print but that meets my needs.

The Canon paper/ink bundle includes 10 prepackaged paper, 18 sheets in each pack as that is max number of sheets in the tray at one time. That's enough paper for 108 4"x6" prints. There are also 3 ink cartridges, so I'm assuming one cartridge will handle 36 prints. $30 price range is very reasonable for this many prints, especially when compared to using ink jet printers with 4-6 different color cartridges that when one goes empty you can't proceed until it's replaced!

I don't know how Canon does it but the prints are not only archival for up to 100 years but they come out smudge and water proof out of the tray! I managed to get some glue stick residue on front of a couple of prints while affixing to documents. I used a damp tissue and wiped it all off without any damage to the prints!
Can't wait to start printing off those grandbaby pics!

Special note: The printer only comes with 5 sheets and one cartridge that only prints 5 so be sure to order at least one box set of additional Canon paper and ink cartridges!

Prints are beautiful. Getting them to the printer over wifi was highly inconsistent. Direct print and USB print work well.

I love this lil printer so much! It's perfect for scrapbooking/journaling and compact enough that it doesn't take over my desk. The only thing that could be improved is the actual connection to my iPhone which has to go off wifi to print. Once I figured it out the first time, it has been easy to set up after that
