I'm thinking of purchasing the Canon Selphy. The reviews on Amazon are good but I thought I'd solicit feedback from the Peas  If you own this printer I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance! |

I love it and think it's absolutely perfect! Easy to set up and use, print quality is fantastic, the prints themselves are high quality and durable and water-resistant. Both colour and black/white prints look amazing. I'm completely in love!

I never use my regular, large printer anymore, I only use the Selphy and I LOVE IT!!!
I´m a project life'r, and I take pictures with my Iphone. I use the Collector app to turn them into project life cards, I use PicFrame to get two cards on one page and then I print with the Selphy.

I bought one for my sister and I wish I'd kept it The prints look fantastic quality and it's really easy to use - I set it up for her with a couple of apps on her phone (to get 2 photos to a page) and away she went! |

Good to hear because I've been toying with the idea of one too.

Thanks ladies - you've convinced me that I need this! I just placed an Amazon order and my new printer will arrive on Tuesday.

I got one when I started scrapbooking (PL) and print all my photos with it. The quality is great, but it is a temperamental little thing A couple of tips: - The prints are SUPER slick, so the only ink for stamping on them that has worked for me so far is Stazon. - They are not a true 4x6, so you can't get two true 3x4 in one paper. It doesn't bother me, but here's a workaround, in case you find it useful. Lots of info in there, too. - Turn off the "Optimize Image" option. It actually makes you photos look worse. It is always on by default, I turn it off for every batch I print. - You'll get better quality if you print from your computer instead of your phone. The app compresses the photos. - A funny one: Careful with stray cat/dog hairs getting in the printer or the paper case! If a single hair gets on your paper you'll get quite the psychedelic results  I have two cats and an ongoing battle with fur everywhere. That's my friend and brother in law.  That's me and my boyfriend  |

I have a Selphy and love mine, but all I ever print are pics from my iPhone. I've never hooked it up to my computer nor printed two photos on one print. Would love to learn how to! Thanks for the tips saralovesducks! |

I love mine! I use it all the time for when I have the urge to scrap but my latest order of prints hasn't come yet. To me, if you are going to keep current at all with PL, you need to be able to print at home.

Bought one about 3 mos ago and use it A LOT! Can't say the colors are as bright as I'd like, but given the choice between a midling picture scrapped and a potentially amazing picture still sitting in the photo library, I'll take the former any day.

Another Selphy lover...got mine last year to use with my December Daily album. It's so easy to use especially with the iPhone app. Don't think you'll be disappointed.

I love my Selphy and have given up getting photos printed elsewhere as they never come out as good as at home.

I love my Canon Selphy! I bought it this past winter after watching a youtube video by nicolejones911.
I use either my SD card or alter a picture using photoshop and print via a USB cable. That way I can print weird sizes other than what is offered on the Selphy itself.
You get 3 ink cartridges with 108 sheets of paper. I just ordered a new combo pack off of Amazon for $31.99 and used my prime 2 day free shipping so just had to pay tax.
