apf102Having had both I’d either do an Instax camera - fun and one off… or a SELPHY mini printer. I have the CP1300 and it’s really very good. Cost is a massive barrier with the Instax printers so it’s hard to decide which of your thousands of photos you want to print. A camera meanwhile just gives you that cool one off photo that means something. Just my two cents
citicenCocaineBought a used cpl1300 for 30 usd. Works great 👍
DamnItAdrianI have the instax wide and the older CP1300 and the CP1300 is way better quality. The instax is better when traveling and printing out random pics for friends on trips. The quality of the pics is lower but still fun to have around.
dmirza148I have a selphy 1300 (second hand for less than £50) which is identical (as far as prints are concerned)to the 1500 without some os and screen features. I also have a canon g650 A4 printer The selphy is brilliant for postcards, photos for the fridge etc... I have a memory scrap book which I use those photos. Quality is ok, it's fun. Requires a bit of altering of the settings to get colours right. The PIXMA g650 is for my "art" prints. Quality is phenomenal and the detail is another level. With some satin paper, I adore the prints and they really look "wow". Both have their use.
_jay__bee_And printing the Selphy 1300 or 1500 are ace.
majewell8I found a used cp1300 for $40 bucks. They tend to go for a bit more than that I found a steal, but secondhand and a generation prior is a good way to go!
mxxnpcWill reco Canon Selphy as well! We have the CP1300 version and I saw an old pic we printed in 2018 (I think?), maganda pa rin yung quality ng pic until now. Yun din yung last time na nagamit namin yung printer and when we tried printing pics last weekend lang, surprisingly, maayos pa rin siya. Kailangan lang iwipe yung rollers. 😊
NomadZekkiI own one of the Selphy line, the 1300 I think?, and an Epson ET-8550. The 8550 is phenomenal but not transportable. The Selphy is not too bad to bring with you and set up but you are looking at around 2-3 min per print and often it will crop a bit and the colors can sometimes be slightly off. It also requires space to sit down. Maybe look into the Kodak or Instax options if you just want to hand out street shots? Higher cost per print but it seems like a better bag setup if that is your goal.
