Canon Selphy CP1200 Wireless Compact Photo Printer

Canon's Selphy CP1200 photo printer offers a winning mix of low price and running costs, portability, multiple connection choices, and good print quality.

Compact. Portable. Modestly priced. Low cost per print for a dedicated photo printer. Prints from Windows and Mac computers, smartphones, and tablets. Includes memory card slot and USB thumb drive port.

Slower than some comparable small-format photo printers. Does not print larger than 4-by-6.

Conclusion As a dedicated small-format photo printer, the Canon Selphy CP1200 can print photos almost anywhere, at sizes up to 4 by 6 inches. If you need a faster printer with slightly better print quality and the ability to make slightly larger...

Canon SELPHY CP1200 Printer Review

Canon's Selphy Printer is a strange proposition, to be sure. Bringing relatively decent-quality printing on a small scale to a printer that's semi-mobile. Printing tiny images on pocketable photo-paper sheets, making the entire process as simple as...

Canon Selphy CP1200 Review: Portable Printer Delivers Quality Photos

The Selphy CP1200 offers high print quality, portability, and an easy-to-use control panel and LCD. For a moderate price, you get a photo printer that you can take just about anywhere, although the battery is a little pricey and lasts only 54 prints.

Produces good-looking photos ; Multiple ways to connect to the printer ; Many photo-printing option

Wireless printing is particularly slow ; A little bulky for a portable printer ; Battery pack costs extra

It's not as compact or as quick as Polaroid's Zip photo printer, but the Selphy CP1200 does produce superior prints when you're out and about.

Love this printer

I bought this printer to print out the odd 6x4 photos and I love this printer as my main printer is not too good for printing the smaller photos. Just a word of advice there is no ink or paper in the box so you will need to buy some
