Most people take hundreds of photos on their phones these days. Sunsets at Airlie Beach. Family days at Shingley Beach. A nice lunch at the marina. Weekend markets. Kids’ milestones. Holidays in the Whitsundays. But many of those photos stay stuck on phones and never become real prints. This is where the Canon Selphy CP1500 comes in. It is a small, simple and tidy printer that lets you turn your photos into real prints at home or on the go.
The Canon Selphy CP1500 is now available in our store in Cannonvale, and it is already popular with locals who want fast, easy printing without a bulky machine. It comes in white or black, and both models use the same photo paper and dye sublimation printing system. Because it works with phones, SD cards, USB sticks, cameras and computers, the Canon Selphy CP1500 suits many people, from families to travellers to small business owners. If you love photos, the Canon Selphy CP1500 may be exactly what you want.
What the Canon Selphy CP1500 does
The Canon Selphy CP1500 is what many people call a compact photo printer. It uses dye sublimation printing, which means it heats special colour panels and lays them onto the photo paper in smooth layers. This creates clean lines, clear colours and a long-lasting finish. Unlike inkjet printers, the dye sub process means no smudges, no wet ink and no waiting for prints to dry.
The Canon Selphy CP1500 prints at 300×300 dpi and supports 256 colour gradations, which gives surprising depth for such a small machine. Photos look sharp, skin tones look natural and bright colours look bright. Many people in the Whitsundays like to print travel photos, reef photos, sunsets and holiday snaps, and the Canon Selphy CP1500 captures those colours well.
The Canon Selphy CP1500 prints a postcard-sized photo in about 41 seconds. This speed makes it handy for events, parties or printing batches of photos at home. Many customers use the Canon Selphy CP1500 to create birthday invitations, thank-you cards, fridge photos and scrapbooks. If you want something fun for the family, a visitor book, or even product photos for small markets and stalls, the Canon Selphy CP1500 handles it easily.
Simple ways to print with the Canon Selphy CP1500
One of the best parts about the Canon Selphy CP1500 is how easy it is to print from almost anything. You can print from a phone, tablet or computer by scanning the QR code on the printer’s screen. Once you scan that code, you follow the steps on your device and send photos straight to the Canon Selphy CP1500. There is no tricky setup and no messy cables.
You can also print from a camera, SD card or USB stick. This means you can bring a memory card from your camera, place it into the Canon Selphy CP1500 and print right away. Travellers love this because it means they can take photos during the day and print them at their hotel or caravan park at night. Locals in Airlie Beach also like using the Canon Selphy CP1500 for school projects or family prints without dealing with big home printers.
