SELPHY CP400

I just came home from 3 weeks in NZ. I loved putting in a tiny sticker picture a day of a highlight of my trip. When I am just living my regular life, I only put in one or two a week. I bought the Canon Selphy printer with the CP 400 cassette and the card size paper (KC 18IS) for the higher quality photos for the archival quality (thermal printer photos last 2 to 35 years).

If you can live with 6x4 the Canon SELPHY printers are great and can be picked up on eBay for under £30. I made this web app to print to the older ones directly, since there are no current drivers for some OSes: https://printervention.app

CP-400

The selphy I have is a 4x6 printer. Not the best size for an A6. My pocket printer is a Kodak Retro Mini 2 (dye sublimation) and I’ve had it 2.5 years (I love it so much) after much disappointment with several zink printers. Hope this helps.

color lasers generally don't print photos (continuous color tones) well but are more for designed graphics, etc. depending on how much color prints and the size you make, I'd say: get a Brother black and white laser for general printing and a Canon Selphy 4x6 color prints printer for the occasional color print. Or you could even print 4x6's at Walgreens for a few dimes if that works better and not even buy a color printer.

Canon selphy if you want 4x6. Hp Sprocket for smaller pics. I will warn that the Sprocket isn't recommended for longevity, it uses thermal paper that will fade over time. Highly recommend the Canon Selphy though.
