Key Advantages

The CP1200 is highly portable due to its compact form factor and lightweight design, making it suitable for mobile photo printing. It features wireless connectivity enabling seamless printing from multiple devices without cables. The dye-sublimation printing technology produces durable, water-resistant, and fade-resistant photos. It offers a variety of print layouts and creative options via the Selphy app and printer interface. Quick print times enable users to get photos rapidly. Additionally, the device supports batch printing from memory cards, enhancing convenience for multiple photo jobs.

Limitations

The maximum print resolution of 300 x 300 dpi is lower compared to traditional inkjet photo printers, potentially affecting print sharpness in detailed images. Print sizes are limited to small photo formats, so it is not suitable for large prints. The consumable cost, including specialized dye sublimation ink and paper, can be relatively higher than inkjet printers. It lacks automatic duplex printing and advanced paper handling features. The printer's integrated battery option may be sold separately and could have limited print capacity per charge. Finally, print speeds may vary depending on connectivity and image complexity.
