Canon 0599C001 Selphy CP1200 Black Wireless Color Photo Printer

Finally! This is the at home printer I have been looking for. For years I have printed my photos at home. I have bought printers upwards of $200 and have not achieved the results I have with this Canon Selphy printer.I have a DSLR which takes amazing photos; but I have been SO disappointed in the print quality of photos that I have either printed at home or ordered online. I have since been looking for an inkless printer that prints great photos.Finally, there is one. And not only that, the quality of the prints on this inkless printer rivals that of any other printer I've owned. And are even superior to prints I've ordered from Apple, Shutterfly, and Snapfish.Pros:-Amazing Quality 4x6 prints: Better than store printed prints, better than Shutterfly, Apple, Walgreens, these are the best.-Photo paper: The photo paper this prints on is glossy: but not too glossy. Smudge-free, waterproof, absolutely great. They are truly flat, which is perfect for scrapbooking and photo albums.-Phenomenal colors: The colors are great. I've never seen photos print where I was satisfied they matched the colors on my retina Mac screen: until I used this printer- EASY TO USE: within 5 minutes I had this printer on my home network and was able to air-print borderless photos wire free from both my computer and my phone. Amazing!-No calibration: No test pages, no print alignment, no nozzle cleaning cycles. Nothing!-Print Quality: Have I mentioned how great these photos look when they come out of the printer?-Paper + ink in one: When you purchase paper for this printer, it is bundled with the "ink" for that paper. It is the exact amount of ink you need for the paper. No more; no less. It is a great system and works wonderfully. It really makes you wonder why no one has come up with this sooner.Cons:These are all totally minor. These are nit-picky but for the sake of my review I nit-picked some.-Price per print: 108 sheets (with ink) is roughly $0.33 a sheet. This is higher than a standard photo print or a print you can order online; BUT it is worth it. These prints are superior than what you can get printed online or in the store.-Awkward paper tray: The tray sticks out and the cover is a bit weird. It is awkward on the first use but once you figure it out it is not a problem.-Expensive battery: I don't care about this because I don't have a use for a battery. Most likely you won't either.-4x6 is the largest this printer will printEdit 2/5/2016 - Occasionally a pice of dust will get stuck in the photos. It's extremely rare and barely noticeable, but it does happenIt only took me one print to realize how great this printer truly is. I have never once had a photo printer print a perfect photo on the first try. Until I tried this printer. Do yourself a favor. If you are considering this printer for purchase what are you waiting for. This is the printer we have been waiting for since digital cameras have come out. It is convenient to use and has phenomenal results and it is hassle free!

I have always loved Canon Selphy photo printers. This CP1200 is great, in that it produces its own network to connect your phone to. This way, you can print pictures directly from your phone in seconds - very great idea.It has a small footprint with a nice LED screen that flips up and down. The instructions are very easy, and a starter pack of ink and pictures is included. Immediately you can connect a wifi device to it by finding the network, or you can manually connect almost any device to it. It even has an SD card slot if that's easiest.The pictures turn out very nice, with only a slight muted tone to them. You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between these and ones you get at Walgreens. Snapfish and other professional services do produce nicer quality pictures, but you'll never get them quickly.This is great for those times you need photos quickly. We use this in our veterinary clinic to print before and after pictures of pets' mouths, but it can also be for eager grandparents wanting baby pictures, or just about anyone that wants a printed photo quickly. Cost is about $0.24 each, which is comparable to other services.

1) Very satisfied with the excellent print quality. Printed some photos for home decoration, and everything looks sharp and clean. I probably wouldn't trust it with printing aurora borealis shots or dreamy landscapes, but more than enough for smiley faces, happy events, travel photos etc.2) Paper quality feels great. No smudge is a big plus. A little complain is that tearing off the margins of the print sheets will leave traces, but can be easily fixes using a utility knife.3) Took me only 5 min to set up printing from my smartphone ("direct connect" mode), but after several unsuccessful attempts, I still haven't got any luck with sending photos from my laptop to Selphy ("via WiFi" mode).4) I found watching Selphy printing highly entertaining and educational. The same photo sheet moves in and out for 4 times, each time getting a layer of RYB primaries added on. First you will see a yellow sketch, then with red color added things started to become identifiable, then adding blue color and you have the photo you have seen on your screen! I assume the last step was adding protection or something like that. But I was very amused by being reminded about the RYB color model.Just an additional little complain: I received Selphy as a birthday present right after I purchased one for myself. I had to pay for shipment to return the one I bought.
