I had an old upright version of this printer but can no longer obtain paper for it so purchased the CP1000. One third the size and faster. Am very pleased with it and the carry case. The paper/ink pack is a bit pricy now but overall a good buy.
so easy to use if you need to print a photo. very good print quality. ink cartridge lasts for ages. can print postcard size or get an accessory to print passport size photos.
What a great product it is very easy to use and gives professional quality photos, it has a few simple editing tools so you can print straight from your camera it is also nice and small so it can fit into my camera bag although I still need to get the battery for it. I would recommend this to anybody who wants good pictures printed at home.
I have had one of these for a few years now and it has been great, so bought this one to give to a friend for Christmas. I’m sure he will be as pleased as I am with it.
I received this the other day and connected it up to try it. It’s smaller than I imagined, which is a plus for me as I want to take it away in our motorhome, and very neat. It works well and the print quality is very good. I’m well pleased. Be aware that it prints each colour individually so the paper goes out and then back in four times, not all colours at once like a standard printer.
Switching the paper and ink is also really easy – we left some basic instructions and our wedding guests sorted it out as they went along.
The prints do take a little while to come out as it does each colour in turn (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow – can’t remember if it then does black separately?) and for each colour it prints it, pushes the paper out, then pulls it back in to do the next, however we found that it was not a problem because people take a long-ish time to get set up for photos etc. and also don’t mind coming back in a few minutes if needed.
Recommended!
My Husband is extremely pleased with this product does what it is supposed to do.
This is the second one he has had as the first one developed a line across photos after a while.
He hopes this one does not do the same.
I am delighted with my new Selphy CP1000. It does everything I would want it to do, given that I only want 6×4 postcard sized prints and it is tailor made for this purpose. The prints I would describe as being highly satisfactory, alright, if you were to hand your prints in to a professional lab, you would get (hopefully) a more definitive result but you would also pay significantly more for it and wait considerably longer, with the Selphy you get your prints right away and I find the quality to be better than many online labs which process prints from your upload and mail them to you.
I will turn to the questions raised by many about the machine not being compatible with Windows 10; it is easy to overcome this, as I do all the time, you upload your photos to whatever software you use and I use Windows bog standard own now that Picassa has ceased, do your editing then transfer your results to a standard USB flash drive (an 8gb flash drive holds lots and they are under 3 if you scroll for them on Amazon) I only need an 8gb since I load up a dozen photos, print them, then delete them from the flash drive and start again. The Selphy accepts USB flash drives perfectly. I also use an old, but superb and reliable Olympus camera which uses xd picture cards. The handbook states that the machine accepts xd picture cards but they cannot be inserted without an adapter and I haven’t tried this since I find it better to edit my photos on my laptop first then transfer them the flash drive which is so, easy just drag and drop. There are basic editing functions on the Selphy.
Some have been disgruntled by the prints having perforated edges which have to be torn off after printing. I have no problem with this, they tear easily and the perforations are very fine, almost indiscernible, but even if this troubles you, you can easily trim the edges.
The prints emerge dry and are very long lasting, they fit snugly in a 6×4 pocket type album.
I like it and I am glad I bought it, arrived next day by Amazon Prime. I accept that if you are a pro photographer and want ultra high end results or need large gallery sized prints, this will not be for you, but for most general purposes it is fine.
The printer takes one piece cartridges, so you can’t replace individual inks. A 3 pack of cartridges and 108 sheets of paper are around the 20 mark. Please note, this model is not supplied with any paper or ink up front. You load the (separately purchased) paper into a plastic tray which then slots into the front of the machine. There’s another slot in the side for replacing the cartridges. When not in use the slots are hidden by plastic flaps, so it all looks nice and tidy and streamlined and compact.
The paper is standard 6 x 4 size, glossy finish, and has white side boarders which you can remove after printing by tearing down the perforated edges. The printer works by laying down different colours over separate passes – ie feeds the paper back and forth a bit like when a photo copier does a double sided print – yellow first, then red I think, then finally blue green. You get natural looking slightly subdued prints – no Fuji greens or Agfa reds here, but I quite like the subtlety myself. The print quality is fine, though obviously not lab quality. The photos are immediately dry and ready to pass round.
I think this is a great printer for the money, small, portable, easy to use, and most of all provides instant gratification!
