Canon SELPHY CP1500 Review, Price & Firmware Download

Canon SELPHY CP1500 Review, Price & Firmware Download — Finding a photo printer that gives you studio-quality prints while still being easy to carry around is tough. The Canon SELPHY CP1500 does just that. It’s small. 7 X 5 x 2 inches. And weighs less than two pounds. That makes it easy to keep on your desk at home or shove into a backpack for a picnic or weekend trip.

Regular inkjet printers have issues like smudges or clogged nozzles. The CP1500 doesn’t. It uses the dye-sublimation of printing. That means it layers three colors smoothly then adds a protective coat. The result? Crisp 300 x 300 dpi prints with 16.7 million colors. A standard 4 x 6 photo takes 41 seconds to print. A credit card-sized one? 23 seconds. And here’s the best part. The print comes out dry away. It’s waterproof, scratch-resistant and won’t fade for up to 100 years. You can even write on it with a marker right after it prints without ruining it.

Canon made this printer right for people that want to nicely print from their phones or tablets. It has a 3.5-inch LCD screen that’s easy to see and use. You can preview your photos, tweak the colors or apply filters like sepia or black-and-white. It connects in ways. You can print using Apple AirPrint, the Canon PRINT app or the SELPHY Photo Layout app (version 3.0). That app is especially cool. You can make collages, choose finishes like glossy or satin, add fun textures or even put QR codes on your prints. Those QR codes can send people to a photo gallery or a wedding website.

If you want to connect, the printer has an SD card slot that works with SD, SDHC and SDXC cards. It also has a USB Type-C port for flash drives or computers running Windows 11 or newer macOS. The printer comes with an AC adapter. If you buy the optional NB-CP2LH battery pack, you can really print wirelessly just anywhere. One charge lets you print up to 54 photos.

The paper tray holds up to 18 sheets. You can print also on the postcards, square labels or mini adhesive stickers. The only downside? The cost of ink and paper adds up if you often print. For the quality, reliability and clean setup, the SELPHY CP1500 is a great pick. It’s perfect for scrapbookers, people planning events or anyone who loves to capture memories.

Price: Around $153.50 on Amazon Store, B&H Photo Video, or directly from Canon Official USA Store. Additional availability at Lenovo Store, Dell Store, and National Camera Exchange.
