There would be five stars if ...
... the CP1000 didn't have the same problem as several other Canon Selphy models. The gear on the drive motor also came loose on me and that after only 10 prints. Diagnosis and solution see below or picture.
The print quality including the automatic image enhancement is very good and sufficient for the purpose for which you need a mobile photo printer.
Printer plus thermal transfer foil cassettes plus printer paper are of course not the cheapest solution for digital photo printing, but if you need a printout worth the name in a hurry, the Selphy is a fine thing.
The slipping gear is a Selphy perennial problem. On the CP1000, it can't slip off completely because there's a metal plate in the way, but the force of the motor is not transmitted correctly. The printer then permanently reports that there is "no ink" left.
The solution is simple. Put a drop of cyanoacrylate glue on the motor shaft and push the gear back onto the shaft as far as it will go.
Disassembly and reassembly are a bit nerve-wracking because the components don't fit together without pulling or pushing parts of the housing apart.No printer software available under Win10, only drivers.
Attention, Canon does not offer any PC software under Windows10 for this Selphy Printer (Selphy Photo Print)! After having missed to provide a Win10 driver for the predecessor models, at least the simple photo printing via the Windows image viewer can be used again. The really interesting features (layout printing, labels, decorations, etc.) are only available via SD card directly on the printer with dwarf display. Really tedious, unusable for non gadget-savvy people.
Contra
- No printer software available, only drivers
Mac drivers also in Dec 2017 only up to macOS 10.12 / Sierra
I am disappointed with Canon because Mac support is still poor. Even the previous generation of Selphy printers was touted as Mac compatible, but even then the support was poor. The current driver only runs up to macOS Sierra. Even soon 3 months after the update to High Sierra there is still no update in sight... It's a shame, the Selphy printers are cool devices with good to very good photo quality.
Pro
- Print quality
Contra
- poor driver support for macOS
Shit support Canon. Thanks for nothing and from you I certainly do not buy anything more!
My father bought for his wife. And of course once again a Canon product where the manufacturer does not find it necessary 3 years after product launch to provide drivers for current OS. This is not the first time (has also happened to me with an expensive transmitted light scanner from Canon!!).
Pro
- Has certainly some, since there are no drivers more I can not judge that unfortunately
Contra
- Turd support of Canon macOS Mojave (2018) is no longer supported by this product (2015)!
Absolutely worst printer purchase of my career
Canon does not update the drivers. Printer therefore completely unusable
Contra
- no drivers
No more drivers for macOS 12.x
Actually, this wouldn't be a bad printer if it weren't for Canon's lousy support.
macOS 12.x simply refuses to install the latest drivers.
The only remedy for printing on macOS Monterey is to install the old Gutenberg driver for macOS:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
This is also very old, but at least it works for printing.
Contra
- No current drivers for macOS
Printer does not work with current OS
Attention to all Mac users: This printer no longer has the latest driver software and can therefore no longer be printed with newer macOS. macOS 10.15 (Catalina) is the last macOS which is supported!

- Print quality ok
Contra
- Driver does not work with current OS
Wonder bag
with sparse use, the handling needs some intervention. Even without any change of cassette and ribbon, the message 'Wrong paper size' always appears a few times. After a long time of removing and reinserting the paper cassette, I finally get a printout
Pro
- when it prints, flawless
Does exactly what it should
Pro
- Simple operation
- Immediately ready for use
Contra
- Paper and printer cartridge are not included, just so you know ;)
👍
Quality is good
Great photo printer for home and on the road! He makes high quality photos but takes some time. Consumables relatively expensive.
A better description would be more customer friendly
It should be clear with you as well as the manufacturer that the printer can not be used via Wi-Fi. That is why I had to return the product and have received 10% less of the total amount back.
Print from smartphone feature missing, otherwise very good product

Canon SELPHY CP1000
All good so far. Hope the gear doesn't break off again! That's why we bought a new one, the old one was already top. Perfect for vacation printing and photo give away.

Pro

Contra
- Printing directly via smartphone not possible
Really practical
All in all, a super device. Inserting the components of the Canon Selphy CP1000 is very easy and using it is relatively simple. The pictures can be fed in via different ways, such as a USB stick, and edited a little. At this point, I would like to briefly emphasise that pictures that are too large in terms of format are only shown with a question mark on the preview display. However, these photos would still be displayed correctly on the paper after printing. With the rotation or smaller editing of the image on the preview display, the image can usually be displayed after all. In my experience, all pictures with the common formats such as .jpg etc. are printed. There is nothing to complain about in terms of print quality, but the printing process is somewhat lengthy, which is not a problem for me.
One more small remark:
As already described on the shop page, the printer does not come with paper or ink cartridges. Among the accessories, a set is available that contains paper (108 pieces) and ink cartridges (3 pieces).Pro
- Good print quality
- Good price/performance ratio
- Small and easy to transport
