A: I buy the photo kit of 108 photos. The ink lasts at least that long. I've always run out of paper before ink. I tested it and used a new pack of paper after the 108 prints; it printed a few more before running out. Seems like they make sure to provide a little bit more ink than paper.
Q: Can you print from cell phone
A: Yes, you can print from your cell phone. You have to download the Canon Application from either the App Store (Apple) or Play Store (Andriod). There is also an option with many phones that allows you to print right from your gallery using the print function if you are connecting via (Direct-Connection) with the Printer. Hope this helps.
A: It didn't come with one, a purchase separate item
A: The Canon Selphy 1300CP uses the specific thermal dye-sublimation ink along with the custom thermal paper that is made for this printer. This is not an ink-jet or laser printer. The thermal dye-sublimation ink made for this printer is a dry ink on a tape inside the cartridge. The print process transfers the ink to the paper using a thermal process that instanly heats the ink directly to a gas stage and transfers directly to the special paper as a gas, which then "dries" or sets instantly. Once finished printing, the ink on the photo paper comes out "dry" because the process does not involve any wet ink process. The ink is not on the paper, the ink is on the cartrdige. However, you must use the special paper made for this printer in order for the print process to work correctly. This printer does not work with "regular" paper or cardstock.
Q: Do you guys think this printer is better than the popular HP Sprocket?
A: When looking between the hp and Cannon he even the hp rep recommended the quality of the Cannon over the sprocket. He said photos are clearer and will last longer as well
Q: Can you print a 3x4 (2 pictures to a 4x6 sheet) and 2x3 (4 pictures to a page) pictures?
A: You can print any collage that fits onto the 4x6 paper. I use a program call PicCollage to make my collages and then send to print on the Selphy. Works great!
Q: Can I connect my phone to this using bluetooth? I dont have wifi
A: yes you can
Q: How many color photos can you get from an ink cartridge on the Canon Selphy CP1300
A: The ink cartridge that comes with the printer only prints 4 photos as its a trial pack. I also bought the RP-108 Ink/Paper pack to go with it which comes with 2 ink cartridges and 108 photo sheets. Each ink cartridge prints 54 photos.
