Really great little printer. Pretty compact and quiet. It was easy enough to get set up following the manual, but we had 5 of us using it over Christmas and while 3 of us connected with no problem, 2 of us couldn’t immediately connect as directed. I think this was more an issue with the phones, and we did eventually get connected and could print easily from that point on.

I bought this as a christmas present for my partner.
It is so easy to use. You just connect it to your wifi, and download the app on your phone, and when you want to print a photo off it recognises it very quickly.
when youve picked the photo you want to print you just hit the print button on your phone and you can watch the selphy cp1300 print it off,it only takes about 30 seconds and you have a beautifully coloured and chrystal clear print.
its an amazing piece of kit,i highly recommend it to anyone.
Be sure to only buy the canon printing ink and photo paper recommended for the selphy cp1300 though or you may be disappointed.

Bought this as a birthday present for my daughter. She takes lots of photos with her phone, has a laptop but does not have a printer. Now she will be able to print out pictures when ever she wants to! Have tried it out and the results are fantastic. Great picture quality, actually better than my printer connected to my PC can achieve! You have different print options, one print, multi print on one photo etc. You can even set it to print out passport/driving licence photos! There is a small screen and you follow the guide lines to set up this printing option to ensure the finished picture complies with the rules. Only downside is that Canon don’t include any photo paper or colour cartridge. If you go to buy one order these at the same time. There are 3 different types of photo paper you can get. A set of postcard sized paper108 sheets in the pack, smaller photo paper, 36 x credit card size prints and small photo paper 18 sheets of 3 x 2in that has a peel and stick backing. Would strongly recommend this for any teen who likes to use a smart phone for pictures. Fun!

First of all: for the price this is a great product.
The android app is rubbish and never even loaded my photos for me to select, so I ended up simply Bluetooth linking my phone to it and printing that way. Unless there is a big update, don’t bother with the app.
As for picture quality, the standard settings do lose some vibrancy of colour and tend a bit towards sepia, in a Polaroid sort of way. To compensate, it works well to increase the brightness/exposure/saturation/sharpness as needed to get a more satisfying result.
Printing speed is quite fast and is actually quite fun to watch, as the different primary colours get layered on one at a time. Print quality (the finished paper) is good, but cannot comment on the longevity yet as I’ve not had them on the way for very long yet.
Overall, a very useful product if you can’t be bothered to take a memory stick to the supermarket, and prints a very decent result once you’ve played around with it a bit. Compact and easy to store as well.

This little printer is fantastic! I print photos mainly for scrapbooking and other crafts, mini albums or gifts. I ordered this part way through my December Daily album and the difference in photo quality with the first half of the photos is very noticeable. If you have been disappointed with the print quality either in your all in one printer or from online printing companies, you need this printer in your life. I think my pics look just as good as if I’d got them printed in a shop like Jessops.

It comes with the 6×4 tray, you need to purchase a paper + ink pack as well as they do not come with the printer. There are other formats but I haven’t tried these yet.

The photos are printed in 4 passes; cyan, magenta, yellow, and a clear protective layer. This last layer can be set to different ‘patterns’, so you have a glossy effect, 2 types of matt effect with random ish looking texture, and a grid like texture. These are all quite attractive and allow you to choose your personal preference. This layer also does a brilliant job of protecting from finger prints. I was so impressed to see that fingerprint literally just wipe off! Also protects from water droplets.

The footprint of the machine is nice and compact. It is perfect for craft people where space is at a premium. The paper tray comes out and can sit on top of the printer as it is basically the same size. The tray also folds over to protect your paper from dust. The power lead / transformer is quite bulky however, so that could be a consideration for you if you want to travel with it.

The pop up screen menus are easy to navigate. You need the Canon PRINT app to print from your phone (if in Android, I believe iPhone is different). The app is not the simplest to use, for example, it took me a little while to figure out that I had to navigate to the folder holding my photos, as it does not use a ‘photo stream’ like other apps might. But once you have tried a couple of things it is fine, it communicates quickly and reliably with the printer.

Be aware that if you are printing from your phone, your prints may look darker than you would like. Due to the back light on phone screens, and how brightly we often have them set, they may look different to a print. To rectify this, use a photo processing app like photo shop express (free app) to increase the exposure / luminosity of your photos. Also, a small section of your image will probably be shaved off at either side, where the perforated handling strips will be removed. This is not usually an issue for me unless I am printing a collage of smaller photos (eg 2 x 2) for trimming and scrapping. In this instance I make sure to place the photos in the collage so that no important parts, such as faces, are at those edges.

Finally, I find the paper + ink packs to be good value. If you get the 108 print packs they work out at 25p – 30p, depending on where and when you purchase them.

Thanks for reading to the end. I love this printer and wish I’d purchased one earlier! A must have for all memory keepers!

Bought for my wife, she loves it and the quality is good. Shame there’s no paper or ink to get her started on Xmas day. You have to buy them separate
