Canon Selphy CP1500 dye-sublimation photo printer

Compact dye-sublimation photo printer

The Canon Selphy CP1500 is a compact dye-sublimation photo printer designed for home users who want instant, durable prints. It produces vibrant postcard-sized photos in 41 seconds that resist water, scratches and fingerprints. Prints can last up to 100 years. The lightweight 1.3 kg unit measures 182.2 x 57.6 x 133 mm and includes a 3.5 inch LCD screen.

Steady output for batch printing

Sustained printing sessions benefit from the dye-sublimation process which applies colour in continuous passes without the banding common in inkjet bursts. The integrated SD, SDHC and SDXC card reader allows direct, driver-free operation so the printer maintains a consistent rhythm when producing multiple prints from a camera card. Wireless and USB-C links keep the data flow stable during longer jobs.

Low heat and quiet operation

Normal use generates minimal heat because the thermal print head only activates during the 41 second print cycle. The small footprint and lack of moving carriages keep acoustic output low, suitable for a living room or kitchen. Power is drawn only while a print is in progress, so idle consumption stays negligible.
