Small photo printer

[oggiet]

Got thousands photos on our nas and would like to buy small/portable printer for Mrs for Xmas present.

Something that she could ideally log into from her phone and print. Doesn't have to big prints, something that we can print and stick on the wall as collage.

If anybody has used any your input would be appreciated

I was looking at around £200 for the printer, really want something small. Is something like polaroid a good choice ?

Canon Selphy. We've had 3 over the years and they've been brilliant. Easy to use, prints look decent and don't fade. Not mega expensive either their latest WiFi model is on sale for £99. We use it to print photos of the kids straight from pur phones and its really easy. Size wise its pretty small too.

The one thing I would say is the "compatible" non-Canon cartridges are rubbish so I'd only reccomend using the Canon ones. One of the off brand ones exploded inside the printer and ruined our last model and the quality/gloss isnt as good.

I looked into this one think 1500 model. Some people are saying it has fault where you get vertical line coming down the photo and dust can get in them easily which can't me cleaned. Yours has any of those issues ?

I have the Fuji Instax, it's a printer as well as a very basic digital camera. The prints are NOT cheap, it cost like 80p per print.

I don't print many from it, mostly great to print something out in the moment.

Will look at that, thank you.

As an alternative to printing out tons of pictures, have you considered one of those "iFrame" type digital picture frames?

You can load a whole bunch of pictures onto it and some will even do a kinda "slideshow" of all the pictures.

I did consider that but Mrs asked for something that can be physical print so can give to friends/ family for fun when having BBQs, parties, etc.

the canon selphy printers are good quality, maybe buy from somewhere that will definitely refund you if a fault occurs

Was looking at Amazon, easiest for return.

We've had a cp1000, cp 1300 and now a cp1500 and never had an issue with dust getting in. When not in use its stored in a cupboard and we keep the spare paper in the covered plastic cartridge.

Our 1000 model died of old age after 8 years or so and our 1300 model died because of a duff 3rd party ink cartridge which damaged the drum.

I think they're fairly idiot proof.

Sounds great, will order. Thank you for your input

I've got the CP510 from 2007 Still works like a charm though the PSU wires are looking a tad knackered. Works fine on Linux. Win10 had driver issues as did Win11 so I ditched them.

That must be a record for how long it's lasted

Instead of a small printer, couldn't you print all your dic pics on one A4 and cut them instead?

Ok buddy
