This paper print set gives you glossy and smooth prints that look just like a photo you get from the lab. Since the process is dye-sublimination, you don't get those ink jet spots, and smearing that you get even from the finest photo printers. The cartridge is easily slipped into the printer, and the paper put in the paper tray. After three passes, yellow, red, blue, you get an extremely nice snapshot to pass out. I'm so glad that Amazon decided to carry this product, as I was worried after buying my CP100 that I would not be able to find the paper. It is not available at local electronics stores, and I live in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley California! Canon KP-36IP Paper Pack for Canon Printer (36 Sheets)
You're on the trip of a lifetime and you promised to send postcards to your friends and relatives. Why not send scenic cards with you in them? Ask a traveling companion to snap a few photos of you. Hook up your digital camera to a portable canon printer and run off a few perfect postcards using the KP-36IP pack. Write "Wish you were here" on the left side and paste on a few stamps. Voila, personalized postcards from anywhere in the world.
Better yet, take a photo of someone you are traveling with and give them a postcard to send home. Talk about a great conversation starter!
The description for this paper states "...blank on the back side, just like photos from your local print shop". THIS IS NOT TRUE. The back side is just like a post card with space for an address, etc. Canon apparantly does not make 4"x6" paper for the Selphy dye-sub printers with a blank back side. IMO, the postcard look is kind of tacky when giving prints to other people. Amazon needs to update their description to reflect this, and to include the other printers that can use this paper.
The quality of prints produced by the Selphy printers on this paper is very good and comparable with competitive products from Epson and HP.
First, I would like to note that this product is also compatible with the Canon CP-200, CP-300, CP-220, CP-330, CP400, and CP500 printers. I just received the Canon Selphy CP400 printer as a gift and with this ink/paper set, it takes fantastic photos! I never get around to going to the drugstore or where ever to print out my digital photos, so this is great for me!
Delivered quickly and at a great price. Impossible to buy locally - no longer stocked by Staples where we had purchased the Canon Selphy CP740 printer. Thank God for Amazon.com. Packaged well too so photopaper and ink weren't damaged in shipment. Great photos - better color and sharpness - than HP Photosmart 130 travel printer which the Selphy replaced.
I got the Canon CP400 printer a while back so I could make the occasional print to hand out (or put silly captions on "bad" Christmas party photos).
I don't know how the printer manages to keep the image aligned as the paper goes in and out 4 times (yellow, magenta, blue, and the clear coat) but when it drops it out, I have a pretty nice print, complete with address lines and a stamp outline on back (plus Canon logo of course) - suitable for mailing as a postcard. About 1/2" of each end gets removed after printing as it is used for traction of the rubber roller in the printer.
I frequently print 3 shots vertically on a 4 x 6 card as sort of a mini proof sheet. I've also used the 4 x 8 size to print 2 side by side.
Fun stuff.
The paper pack is extrememly convenient. It is designed exclusively for the printer; is very easy to load and comes with the printer cartridge as well. The photos come out beautifully printed on postcard paper.
The copier is easy to install and takes up very little space. Using the KP-36IP paper and ink yields excellent picture quality.Changing the paper and the ink is quick and convenient.I've printed many photos and have been very satisfied with the quality. And it isn't all that expensive for the combo. - Canon - Photography - Photo Paper - Canon Photo Printer'
