The Canon - SELPHY Square QX10 Wireless Photo Printer creates amazing photos that you can hang up around your home or share with your love ones. It's very easy to connect the printer to your phone. The app works seamlessly. It's easy to select your photos and edit the printing option on demand. The best features of the Canon Selphy Square are that the printer is wireless, with an incredible battery life and a small chassis design. Making it really easy to take the printer with you wherever you go. It can fit in a pocket, backpack or purse without creating clutter. You have the option to print on high quality quick-drying 2.7 x 2.7-inch printer paper, or you can print your images directly to stickers so you can place them anywhere. My family enjoys using the Canon - SELPHY Square QX10 Wireless Photo Printer. It fantastic for printing pictures of our outings and family gatherings. It makes a great gift for the photographer in the family as well. I highly recommend the Canon - SELPHY Square QX10 Wireless Photo Printer.

Cool little printer perfect as a gift to give instant photos that you just took to your friends and family. It is a bit expensive though for the cartridges.

Got one for my mom for Christmas. She loves it. Directions are a little vague on some things. It seemed easier to get my Galaxy Note than her iPhone.

I love that I can take photos from my phone and print them right out. I also love that I can purchase the protection plan on this versus other sites that didn't offer that. I have really like being able to print out photos of my husband and I!

I love the size of there’s photos, in the car, in my wallet, on the night stand. Still use it every time we take pics

Finding paper for this is a nightmare. It’s almost been a year and I haven’t found any yet

Purchased this for the grandkids and they love it.

It works so much better than the one I had previously owned

I feel like this is in response to all those polaroid camera imitators that have come out lately. My nieces really wanted those because they could have instant physical pictures, which is cool. The only issue with that of course is that you printed the picture before you knew if your finger was covering the lens, which they learned very quickly, was an easy mistake to make. With this you get to take the picture with your (hopefully high quality) smartphone camera or a real camera (my canon camera wirelessly transfers to my phone where I can print to this printer). Then you can customize the picture to your hearts content or if you are my wife and already have an app to make photo collages you can just select the collage you already made through that app and then customize it or just print it. I have an android, she has an iPhone; and it is currently connected to both so that I could test if it worked well with both as well as if it could be connected to two devices at the same time, it is a yes to both; which made me quite happy. It isn’t exactly tiny, pocket sized or whatever you might want to call it, but it also has higher quality than the tiny pocket-sized ones from my experience. If you have a bag it’ll go right in it and not be an issue and it’ll charge off a battery pack if you do go through the battery which seems to last awhile. The app is nice on android and iPhone and walks you through everything. To top it off, the pictures are stickers, just peel the back off and stick them wherever you want, and if you do not just leave the back on. My grandma is currently stuck in a nursing home with now visitors allowed and in a different state from us so having this to make little picture books, sticking the pictures to a letter that we send and, including them in the envelope for the nurses to stick on her little wall has been really nice. If you’re looking for something that prints these small pictures that capture the moment but also allows you to customize the photo and make sure you aren’t printing your finger, I would say this is one of the higher quality choices. Make sure to get the photo paper with this, it comes with three in the box, good news is each pack of photo paper also comes with the ink for them so that is quite convenient.

This printer is simply amazing for it's size, and for quick fun prints on the fly it's perfect and actually prints well when compared with other small printers (most of which are based on Zink and not dye sublimation like this one is) of the same size/class. The costs for prints are comparable so making this one the clear winner based on my use so far! The photos this thing prints look like small photos that came right off your inkjet printer except there is no ink to worry about running around or smudging as it won't smudge. A tip, I love using this printer for making cards and including a personalized photo with some cutouts/stickers from a scrapbook. It makes it so easy to do quick things like that or even for building a collage! In terms of use, it's easy, simply download the app and connect to it in order to print your photos. The app is pretty basic (at least the Android one) so I wouldn't expect to do any amazing photo edits or frames so I'd recommend using a different app for that and then pull your edited picture up here to print it. It also works on my iPad pretty much the same way. I really wish Canon had a simple windows app so you could use it from the computer/PC as well (if you're listening Canan - PLEASE port your app over to Windows Store!) Overall, it's a pretty amazing little printer and for what it is it does an amazingly good job with fun little prints to use wherever you want and print wherever you want to print!

Bought 2 of these for granddaughters Xmas gifts. These had the best reviews of the ones I looked at.

Easy to use it My daughter love this item Easy to set up

Granddaughter loved it. Pictures were great. Quality was really good.

The Canon Selphy Square is a small, portable printer meant to print photos. I would call this a project printer. What makes this printer unique is the miniature "Polaroid" style prints it creates. This is a fun style to use in scrapbooks, bulletin boards (my project), or clipped to string. You can adjust the margin slightly to be thinner or thicker, but there will still be blank space at the bottom where you jot notes about the photo, write messages, or just leave blank. The photo itself, the part that is printed, is square. You could trim the bottom off and have a perfect square photo. You can also orient the picture so that the blank white space is on any side you want (great if you want the white part at the top so you can clip it to string. Setup is relatively simple, so don't be intimidated when you remove an instruction book from the box that is nearly a 1/2 inch thick, covering a few pages of instructions in 24 languages! I used the first couple of pages to get familiar with the parts. The rest of the setup is done by downloading the app. Once the app is installed, it will walk you through the steps to setup the printer. Note that for your smart phone to connect to the printer, it will connect to the printer's own Wi-Fi network, so you may receive messages on your phone about whether you want to connect to that network (obviously, say yes), and later warning about the lack of an internet connection. The connection is only activated when printing, not while designing your printout or browsing your photos. The app offers the option to print a single photo, or a collage layout of up to 3 photos. Adding more to your project will just start another printout. For such a simple printer, it has a quite a few adjustments and enhancements you can make. You can adjust the white margin, the position of the blank white area, adjust brightness/contrast/saturation, add frames, and even a handfull of "stamps" (among which includes a conversation bubble you can write in later). Printing takes about 20 seconds. The printer will eject the photo almost all the way out as it prints one color at a time, making it fun to watch as the picture comes to life. You can also monitor the progress on your phone display. It can be handled immediately without waiting for ink to dry. The starter kit that comes with the printer includes one cartridge and 3 sheets of paper. Additional kits can be purchased that include 20 sheets of paper and another cartridge. These are not ink cartridges, and they easily slide in and out of the printer. Overall, this is a bit of a pricey printer for what it does. It can only print on one size of paper, and uses proprietary supplies. However, if you enjoy printing photos for collages, scrapbooks, or just to have a fun way to display your photos, this is a simple, fast, and portable way to do it.

IN THE BOX Inside you will find the printer, USB cable, the “toner” cartridge and 3 sample sheets of paper. SETUP Super easy. I recommend charging it completely which takes a few hours. Loading the paper and ink cartridge is easy. The printer is designed so you can’t mess it up. Meaning, the ink cartridge only goes in one spot (on the side of the printer) and it won’t fit if you put it in the wrong way. The paper loads on the bottom of the printer. The door where the paper goes is easy to open and there’s a little label there telling you to make sure the back of the paper is facing up (up when you load it, facing down when you lay the printer right side up). The paper has Canon logos on the back, so again, it’s pretty intuitive. From here you have to download the SELPHY app (NOTE: there’s a lot of Canon apps out there, so make sure you download the right one). In the app, you click on the “add printer” icon at the top left and select SELPHY SQUARE QX10 and if your printer is on, it will add quickly. PRINT QUALITY Before I get into the ease of use, which is what prevents this product from getting 5 stars, I wanted to discuss the print quality. Now, first things first. I would assume most people know this by looking at the printer itself, but it is not going to print 4X6 prints. These are pocket size, squarish photos that are relatively small. Other printers (looking at you HP Sprocket) can take a photo and using 4 pages, create one larger photo. The SELPHY, to my knowledge, doesn’t have that capability. But the photo paper have an adhesive backing so you can use it as a sticker, which is honestly, what I think it’s made for. Putting those inherent limitations aside, the printing quality is fantastic. The printer spits the paper out and pulls it back in several times (I believe applying different colors during each pass) and the end result is a fantastic looking picture. The HP Sprocket I mentioned above, doesn’t utilize an “ink cartridge” because the ink is somehow contained in the paper (which is why that printer is smaller). While I find the Sprocket printer to produce a good photo, I can confidently say the SELPHY produces a better result. EASE OF USE Now, the setup is easy, the printing quality is bad, but what holds this printer back is the app. It’s not terrible, it’s not even bad. But I’ve found most of Canon’s apps to be a little clunky with outdated visuals. I must admit it’s easy to navigate. It just feels limited. After the printer is connected, you open the app and you get an option to either “select and print” or “n-up layout.” Select and print is pretty obvious, you pick a photo you want (you must select from various folders where your photos are located). I’m not sure what n-up means, but it’s basically a collage. Some people might like it, but given that the paper is so small, I prefer to print one photo to one piece of paper. After you select a photo, you are then given options to customize it. Now, the printer by default treats a photo like a polaroid photo. Meaning, there’s a larger white border at the bottom. You can customize the photo by moving the position of the photo, putting a timestamp, putting frames, graphics as stamps, texts, and filters. While I think the selection of TYPES of things you can do to customize your photos is sufficient, I was disappointed with the options WITHIN the types. Frames for example, there’s only 9 options. Without seeing it, it might seem like I’m complaining about minor stuff, but the 9 options available just don’t appeal to me. Most are just bright colors. Bottomline is that the app could and should be able to offer you more customization. CONCLUSION At the end of the day, this is a well built, easy to use printer that makes small photos that are best used as stickers. If you can live with just printing pictures, you absolutely won’t be disappointed. The quality is terrific. But if you’re one looking to truly customize your photos, you will be left slightly disappointed.
