Key Advantages

The Canon Selphy CP1500 delivers high-quality, long-lasting photo prints using advanced dye-sublimation technology that resists fading and water damage. Its compact and lightweight design enhances portability, making it ideal for users who want to print photos anywhere. The inclusion of Wi-Fi connectivity allows seamless wireless printing from multiple devices, including smartphones and tablets.

It supports a variety of input formats including USB and memory cards, offering flexibility in photo sourcing. Additionally, the printer offers borderless printing options for professional-looking photos without margins.

Limitations

The Selphy CP1500 requires proprietary dye-sublimation paper and ink cartridges, which can be more expensive compared to traditional inkjet photo papers. Print speed, while reasonable, is slower than some modern inkjet portable printers, taking about 47 seconds per 4x6-inch photo. It supports a limited set of photo sizes, primarily focusing on smaller formats without options for larger prints.

Wireless functionality requires a stable Wi-Fi connection, and printing via certain mobile devices may necessitate additional apps or software downloads. The printer does not include advanced photo-editing features and has limited memory card compatibility compared to larger desktop printers. Battery operation is possible but typically requires purchasing an optional external battery pack separately.
