This is an affordable printer for snapshots that would otherwise live on your phone forever. The printer itself comes with 5 sheets of 4x6 paper and a trial sized ink ribbon. This trial stuff prints out exactly 5 photos, just like it says it will. The ink and paper packs that you can buy separately print out exactly the amount of photos stated. For example, I purchased the Canon KP-108IN Color Ink Paper Set, which includes enough paper and ink for 108 prints. There are 3 ink ribbons included, so they each print 36 prints. Each time I print out 36, I am prompted to change the ink ribbon. It's that simple. There is a free app you can download from the App Store, for iPhone users. I assume there is something similar for people with Android phones.
You can print other sizes besides 4x6. If you have some odd shaped photos, or maybe some other common aspect ratios like 5x7 or 8x10, just select the "border" option within the Canon Print app on your phone. It will shrink it down, but it will stay in proportion to the original photo. I like selecting the border option on all my photos, even those with the 4x6 aspect ratio, because I know the entire photo will be there and won't be clipped off a little. You can also print multiple photos on one sheet, although I have not tried that myself. I would imagine the photos would be scaled down extremely tiny to fit on the 4x6 sheets.
Higher resolution photos, say from a DSLR, tend to print out much nicer than your standard cell phone camera photo on the Selphy.Because the prints are small, most photos will turn out acceptably sharp.
There have been a few times where I'll try to print something and the app on my phone will simply crash and I'll be taken back to my home screen (I have an iPhone 6 Plus). Usually this happens when I try to print a very large file, normally resulting from a print that I have scanned in very high resolution. I just scale back the size of the file and keep trying until it prints. Kind of annoying, but I guess the app can handle only so much data.
Even with the few app crashes I have experienced, for $99 bucks it's a good value, IMO. The prints are not pro lab quality, but what do you expect for this price? All the prints I have made on this thing have been pleasing to the eye. Some of my photos come out a little drab, and if there is a person in the photo with dark hair, the hair will print out as an dark blob, void of details. But I don't really care, since I am using this for snapshots. If you don't nitpick and take the print for what it is, then it's the perfect gadget for liberating your photos from your phone and showing them to the world. Best of all, this thing is extremely easy to use. It's a no-brainer. I have read the complaints about people running out of ink before they run out of paper, but so far I have not had that problem.

I’ve now printed out just over 200 photographs and I have to say so far I’m pretty happy with it. The photos are not 100% reproductions from what you see on your screen and the quality isn’t as good either but it’s not that bad of a difference. For fun, a simple photo album, scrapbooking, handing out pictures to friends and more this thing is really worth it. You don’t have to send your pictures off to a place to print them and wait or deal with a kiosk that at times can be a little moody.I’ve only printed from a SD card, a USB thumb drive and my phone and all have worked fine. I have not and have no intentions of connecting it to my computer so I can’t speak for that but from the three things I have tried all have worked out fine. Personally I prefer to print from the USB thumb drive or SD card. From the phone it can take a while for a photo to transfer over the WIFI and if you are printing 10 or 20 or more photographs this can really slow things down.Over all I really like this little thing. Like I said, it won’t reproduce 100% perfect photographic prints but it’s not too far off. The only time I need perfect prints is for gallery showings or are to be sold as art and as such these prints are a bit small and in the end that sort of thing should be handled by professionals with much more expensive equipment.For personal use and just plain good times this thing is a pretty good thing to own.
