Canon CP1200 Selphy Wireless Color Photo Printer

The Canon Selphy CP1200 is a dedicated dye-sublimation photo printer built for one purpose: producing rich, lab-quality 4x6-inch prints quickly and easily. Unlike inkjet printers that spray tiny droplets, dye sublimation heats ribbons of cyan, magenta, and yellow dye onto specially coated paper in successive passes, then applies a clear protective overcoat. The result is a continuous-tone print with smooth gradations, vivid colors, and built-in resistance to smudging, water, and fading. Each print is dry and ready to handle the moment it exits the printer.

Connectivity is a strong suit of the CP1200. A dedicated Wi-Fi button simplifies wireless network setup, and AirPrint compatibility means iPhone and iPad users can print without installing additional software. Android users and those who want more control can use the free Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app to print photos directly from their device's gallery or from Facebook and Instagram. At just 1.9 pounds with a footprint smaller than most hardcover books, the CP1200 travels easily, and an optional battery pack allows up to 54 prints away from any power outlet—ideal for weddings, birthday parties, and photo booths. The matched ink-and-paper kit system ensures you always have the right amount of supplies on hand, with no leftover ink cartridges or mismatched paper counts.
