Overview

The Canon SELPHY CP1300 is a compact dye-sublimation photo printer built for anyone who wants quick, tangible prints without the bulk of a full-size printer. Using a thermal dye-sublimation process, it produces borderless photos with 256 levels per color channel — resulting in smooth gradients, accurate skin tones, and vibrant colors across every print. Each photo comes out completely dry and ready to handle, with a water-resistant coating that Canon rates for up to 100 years of longevity under proper conditions.

Connectivity is one of the CP1300's strongest points. It supports Wi-Fi for printing directly from smartphones and tablets via the Canon PRINT app, and also accepts input from USB flash drives and SD memory cards inserted into the printer. The tilting 3.2-inch LCD screen lets you preview, crop, and adjust images without needing a connected device at all. Weighing in at just over 1.9 pounds, the CP1300 is genuinely portable, and with the optional battery pack it can operate entirely off-grid — making it a practical choice for parties, events, photo booths, or travel.
