SELPHY QX20 Mini Portable Photo Printer | Wireless Dye-Sublimation

Prior to purchasing this product. I already owned 2 other portable Canon printers. An Selphy and canon zoemini 2. The Canon SELPHY QX20 uses a dye sublimation to print photos. They are better quality than zink ink and the photo lasts ages. What made me order another printer? I wanted the dye sublimation and the ability to have sticky backing for junk and travel journaling. The Selphy QX20 prints on two paper sizes. 72 x 85mm Photo or 54 x 85mm. In order to use the printer you need to download the selphy app. I had no problems with setting up the ink and paper into the printer. You just need to open the side and slide the ink cartridge and add the paper at the back. Do keep in mind that you have to use up the paper and cartridge before switching to another size. You can add different borders in the app, bear in mind it will leave a white area for you to write on. It does not print fully on the sheet. Watch as the printer runs three 3 different inks and a final gloss coating. It prints the photo quickly, the colours seem to match my iPhone screen without adjusting the settings. I love the portability and size, although it is heavier than the zoemini. A minor thing but you expect that the printer should at least come with some paper and ink to sample the machine for the price of £99. You will need to add the ink to your order for you to use.

This little printer is so easy to use and you have the options to print 2 different sizes, the photos are very sharp and clear and prints very quickly with no fuss. Definitely recommend this product

THE PRINT PROCESS Three passes. Cyan, magenta, yellow, each one sliding through the unit with a satisfying little whirr. You can watch each colour layer build up on the print and it's weirdly satisfying, like a miniature production line on your desk. From tapping print in the app to holding a finished photo took roughly 40 seconds, which is quicker than I expected for dye sublimation. THE APP AND OUTPUT Canon's SELPHY app on Android is fine. Nothing fancy, does the job. You pick a photo, crop it, hit print. My one gripe is the mandatory white border along the bottom of every print. You can't remove it unless you cut it post print. Or if you can using some IT magic, I haven't found the way. Both the square and rectangular image sizes are peel-and-stick, which was the whole reason I went this route over Instax — I wanted stickers without messing about with separate adhesive sheets. And also something that's more cost-effective over time. THE UNIT It's compact enough to sit on a bookshelf but has a surprising weight to it. Feels like there's some real engineering inside rather than just a plastic shell. USB-C charging, which is welcome. The pink finish looks smart when clean. WHAT YOU DON'T GET No ink cartridge. No paper. Not even a sample pack. At £123.50 you're buying a printer that can't print anything until you order consumables separately. No carry case either, despite this being marketed as portable. I had to order a pack of square and rectangular paper just to find out which format I preferred. Canon could have thrown in five sheets of each and a starter cartridge. Compatibility is also limited to Canon's proprietary formats. I'm generally against tech limiting supplies by format but I suppose the dye sublimation method is pretty niche. OVERALL A capable little photo printer that produces lovely peel-and-stick prints. If it came with ink and paper in the box, this would easily be five stars.

Superb - easy to use and prints are of excellent quality

The print quality is good but my ink cartridge keeps jamming and I loose a whole pack of paper/ink which is very expensive.

A fantastic little printer. Easy to set up and operate from any mobile via the Selphy app.

Great to have when I'm out and about and want to share the fun with others. Shame the paper isn't cheaper.

I really like this little printer. Canon do the best quality prints at this size when compared to Fujifim and polaroid for sure. I have the larger CP1500 too, but I got this one because I wanted to use it for photo journaling due to the sticky back paper available for this printer. What stops me from giving five stars is the fact that you can ONLY print from a phone over the printer's own wifi connection. I didn't think that would be a problem until I was on a long phone call. My house doesn't have good cell coverage so calls are made over the internet. I wanted to continue printing photos while on the call but was unable to due to the fact that my phone's connection to the internet would be cut while connecting to the printer's wifi. I think it was short sighted of canon to not include different types of connection to print - cable, bluetooth, or being able to add the printer to our home network. Very frustrating

Cooler, kleiner Drucker der leicht zu verstauen ist. Bringt schöne Fotoergebnisse im praktischen und modernen Polaroidformat. Durch die App, die kostenlos installiert werden muss ist es einfach die gewünschten Fotos zu gestalten. Die App bringt noch eine Vielzahl an Rahmen und Matten Fotofinishes mit, sogar kleine Collagen lassen sich mit bis zu 4 Fotos gestalten. Eine sehr coole Sache für Tagebücher oder schnelle Erinnerungen für Freunde.

Photos are blurry and hazy; I think I have a faulty printer or do not buy.

It seems like I keep receiving defective units from Amazon Germany. The first unit came with broken ink cartridge latch right out of the box and I had to return it. The second unit I repurchased couldn't print right. All prints had dog ears and long streak of scratches. First print came out blurry and subsequent prints had ink streaks. I tried troubleshooting, adjusting printing paper and ink sheet, all issues still persist.

E' portatile al massimo, stampa molto bene e può essere un'idea regalo originale! Buon rapporto qualità prezzo della carta fotografica, anche se ho dovuto acquistarla sul sito ufficiale, perchè non sempre si trova su amazon.

Cette imprimante est vraiment sympa. Petite donc facile à transporter. On met le papier par paquet de 10 feuilles. On met la cartouche (attention très fragile) et ensuite on installe l’application SELPHY. On connecte l’imprimante au smartphone et on lance l’appli. On sélectionné ses photos, le modèle d’impression (collage photo ou simple photo unique) et on imprime. La photo passe en 3 fois. Rouge Jaune Bleu Et hop le tour est joué. 2 formats possibles de papier photo Carré ou sticker
