Choose the right size for the right photo - from 4"x6", 2.1"x 2.1" square to mini label stickers, all made to last up to 100 years(5) and are even water and marker resistant! Take the SELPHY CP1500 almost anywhere with the optional battery pack, and add fun effects with the updated (v3.0) SELPHY Photo Layout app.
Remember your adventures one print at a time. With the Canon SELPHY CP1500 compact photo printer, you can create high quality memories straight from your phone. Take it with you in a bag and instantly scrapbook on the go.
Take it with you
Where is the best place to print and share images of your friends? Wherever you are of course! Thanks to the optional battery NB-CP2LH which can produce up to 54 prints per charge, you can take your SELPHY CP1500 with you and print on-the-go almost anywhere!
WiFi, USB, and more, oh my!
There are so many ways to print images on the SELPHY CP1500, it’s easy to pick the one that works best for you, whether that is WiFi, AirPrint, USB (computer and USB flash drive), your camera memory card, or the SELPHY Photo Layout smartphone app.
Instantly dry and marker ready
Thanks to the dye-sublimation printing process, the prints exit the printer completely dry and ready to handle, and with the final overcoat layer, they are even water-resistant! That means they are also marker ready in case you want to write a personal message on your photo.
Use the free app for even more options
SELPHY Layout is the free companion app for the SELPHY printers that let you print, edit, and add fun effects right from your Smartphone. Now updated to V3.0, the SELPHY Layout app lets you organize how you want to print your images. You can create collages, choose which images you want to use for mini-stickers, add pattern overcoat effects, and even add QR codes to your prints to direct someone to a specific webpage.
New finishing options
Most dye-sub printers can only produce glossy prints (because the final overcoat layer is glossy), but Canon has learned how to change the texture of the final print so that you can choose from glossy, semi-gloss and satin finishes. Additionally you can Print patterns into the overcoat layer to give your images a subtle pop of texture.

First and foremost, the compact design of the SELPHY CP1500 is a game-changer. It effortlessly fits into any space, making it ideal for both home use and on-the-go printing. The minimalist white finish adds a touch of elegance to the device, and its lightweight build ensures portability without sacrificing functionality.
Setting up the printer was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly interface and the well-designed menu system. Connecting to my camera and smartphone was seamless, and the wireless capabilities offered a level of convenience that exceeded my expectations. It's a joy to print directly from my smartphone, and the compatibility with various memory cards opens up more options for quick and easy printing.
Print quality is where the SELPHY CP1500 truly shines. The dye-sublimation technology produces vibrant and true-to-life colors, capturing the essence of my photographs with remarkable precision. The prints are smudge-proof and durable, and the optional glossy or semi-gloss finishes add a professional touch.
The printing speed is commendable, and the ability to produce postcard-sized prints in under a minute is a definite plus. The printer's versatility extends to different print sizes, allowing for creative flexibility when showcasing my photography.
The inclusion of an adjustable tilting LCD screen is a thoughtful touch, providing a clear preview of my prints and easy navigation through the menu options. The intuitive controls make it accessible for users of all levels, from beginners to seasoned photographers.
The Canon SELPHY CP1500 also impresses with its cost efficiency. The availability of affordable print packs and the longevity of the ink cartridges make it an economical choice for those who enjoy frequent photo printing.
In conclusion, the Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer in white has become an integral part of my photography setup. Its blend of portability, user-friendly features, and exceptional print quality make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compact photo printing solution. Whether you're a casual snapper or a photography enthusiast, the SELPHY CP1500 is a worthy investment for bringing your memories to life in vivid color.
One of the SELPHY CP1500's most striking features is its size. Compact enough to fit in small spaces, it's perfect for home use or for taking on the go. This portability means you can print your favorite moments just about anywhere, turning your digital snapshots into keepsakes in an instant.
The quality of prints from the SELPHY CP1500 is impressive. Photos come out crisp and vivid, with colors that are true to the original digital image. It's like having a photo lab in your living room, offering professional-level prints without the need for a professional setup.
Ease of use is another area where the CP1500 shines. The setup is straightforward, and the interface is intuitive, making it accessible even for those who aren't tech-savvy. Whether you're printing from a camera, phone, or computer, the process is seamless, ensuring that your path from digital to print is as smooth as possible.
Connectivity options on the SELPHY CP1500 are also worth noting. With support for Wi-Fi and various direct printing options, it offers flexibility in how and from where you print. This adaptability makes it a great fit for a range of users, from casual photographers to more serious hobbyists.
TL;DR: The Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer is a standout choice for anyone looking to create high-quality photo prints at home or on the go. Its compact size, ease of use, and excellent print quality earn it five stars, making it a top choice for preserving memories in physical form.
As a dye sublimation printer there's no messy ink, print susceptibility to smearing or fading. or waiting for a print to dry before handling. Longevity of the print is another plus. No ink, no fading. Relying on dye transfer, the printer passes a sheet of photo paper through the machine four times laying color during the first three passes with last pass adding a protective layer. It takes about 30 seconds per print.
Canon's continued support and standardization across the Selphy line deserves special mention. The cartridges used for my older Selphy are the same as that used in the CP 1500. And the price for those cartridges has remained reasonably stable even during these inflationary times. They remain ~32 cents per print which is comparable to local drug store or big box store costs per print.
Print quality is excellent. I've left it unused for months and subsequent print quality is the same as if it was under continuous use.
For print quality, convenience and price per print, the Selphy beats the hassle of inkjet printers, their expensive ink and susceptibility to clogging during long periods of misuse.
If there is a drawback to this photo printer, it's dedicated to the 4" x 6" print standard. That's not a bad thing since most consumers looking for a quick print would prefer the economy of that size print.
Wrapping it up: Convenience, cost, durability and print quality are this printer's strengths, and you would be hard pressed to find those four factors in another home printer at this price point.
Top reviews from other countries
Photo sizes are 4 x 6”. The sides are scored and easily removable (they’re there to allow the printer something to grab onto as it’s pulling the sheets through).
One thing to keep in mind is that you need to get a new cartridge of ink as often as you need more photo paper. They only include about 5 sheets (and enough ink for 5 prints) with the printer. So, if you have a lot to print, make sure you get refills ready. Canon makes it easy for you as it comes as a package (buying more paper usually comes with a new cartridge). I just wanted to mention this in case you think it’s like a traditional printer where you need to get paper and toner separately. Refills for both paper and ink are also very reasonable, about 50 cents per print (versus instax that about $1 per print these days).
Lastly, the quality of the print was great. Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend.

Photo sizes are 4 x 6”. The sides are scored and easily removable (they’re there to allow the printer something to grab onto as it’s pulling the sheets through).
One thing to keep in mind is that you need to get a new cartridge of ink as often as you need more photo paper. They only include about 5 sheets (and enough ink for 5 prints) with the printer. So, if you have a lot to print, make sure you get refills ready. Canon makes it easy for you as it comes as a package (buying more paper usually comes with a new cartridge). I just wanted to mention this in case you think it’s like a traditional printer where you need to get paper and toner separately.
