Overview

The Canon SELPHY QX10 in pink is a compact, portable square photo printer designed for spontaneous printing straight from your smartphone. Using Canon's dye-sublimation technology, it produces vivid, richly saturated prints with a protective overcoat that guards against smudges, moisture, and UV fading—giving each print a durability that standard inkjet outputs cannot match. The entire unit is small enough to slip into a handbag, making it a practical companion for gatherings, parties, or creative projects on the go.

Operation is entirely app-driven through the Canon SELPHY Photo Layout app, where you can crop, filter, and arrange images before sending them to the printer wirelessly. The included XS-20L color ink and label set provides 20 prints to get started immediately. While the square format and per-print cost position the QX10 as a specialty device rather than an all-purpose photo printer, its simplicity, print quality, and portability make it a compelling choice for anyone who values physical prints in a smartphone-dominated world.
