Canon Selphy CP900

The Canon Selphy CP900 is Canon's first dedicated 4-by-6 photo printer with Wi-Fi.

Small and portable. Optional battery. Print pack holds both dye roll and paper for easy setup.

Wi-Fi support lacks Wi-Fi Direct, which would make printing directly to the printer a lot easier.

Canon Selphy CP900

Dedicated photo printers like the Canon Selphy CP900 have become something of a niche product. If you need a portable, dedicated 4x6 photo printer, that makes the CP900 one of your few options. Fortunately, it's capable enough that it would probably be...

Canon's latest thermal dye dedicated photo printer, the Selphy CP900, adds Wi-Fi as a connection option, but leaves out Wi-Fi Direct, which would make the Wi-Fi far more useful. Pros: Small and portable. Optional battery. Print pack holds both dye roll...

Canon SELPHY CP900 review

Whilst the printer market is flooded with medium-size colour multifunction and mono single function machines, it's much harder to find small format printers dedicated to photo printers. It's this niche that Canon is trying to capture with the Canon...

Canon's latest ultra-compact thermal dye photo printer has a welcome upgrade of Wi-Fi over its predecessor alongside good quality images, simple controls and flash drive/SD card instant processing.

Great product but!!

I purchased the printer in January of 2014 and found that it easily did every thing that I expected of it. Very happy! Then I updated my Mac OS to Yosemite 10.10.3 only to find that Canon provides no software to support the Selphy 900 with that OS and...

Great Little Printer

While this is not the best printer on the market, it does exactly what I expect it to do. I use this printer with my photo booth and it was easy to setup and works just fine. My only complaint is the speed is slow but, again, I it was as expected. At...

We need a windows 8.1 driver please
