Canon SELPHY CP1500, postcard to 22 by 17.3 mm, card slot review

Four ways in — phone, computer, USB stick and memory card — with a screen on the body and sizes from postcard to mini-sticker, for 119 €.

The bottom line Four ways in — wireless, USB-C, USB stick and SD card — with a screen on the body and every print size published from postcard to mini-sticker, for 119 €. It publishes no print time, has no battery, and opens with an offer that expired in January 2025.

On the listing

Five bullets. An opening bullet offering three months of Disney+ for Zoemini or SELPHY purchases made before 15 January 2025; easy connection, linking the printer without cables to phones, computers and compatible cameras, using USB-C for computers, cameras or USB sticks, or printing from an SD, SDHC or SDXC card; every size, from postcard format at 100 by 148 mm to mini-stickers at 22 by 17.3 mm; a space-saving, elegant body with a large 8.9 cm LCD and three colour finishes, described as simple to operate; and a contents list of the white SELPHY CP1500, a white postcard-format paper cassette, a CA-CP300 B compact mains adapter, a power cable and printed information.

Four ways in, one of them a card

Three printers on this shelf accept Bluetooth and nothing else. A card slot takes the camera’s own file and prints it, with no phone, no app and no transfer in between.

A hundred by a hundred and forty-eight millimetres

Postcard, and nearly four times the area of everything else here. The same page publishes the other end too: a 22 by 17.3 mm sticker.

A screen on the printer

Eight point nine centimetres, so the picture is chosen where it is printed. The alternative on this shelf is choosing on a phone, always.

What one hundred and nineteen euros does not include

A battery, and a print time. Two printers here publish 55 and 67 seconds; this one runs from the mains adapter it supplies.

An offer that expired in January twenty twenty-five

The first bullet of five, on a page being read in September 2026. Worth noticing as a measure of how recently the listing was written.

Availability

Between 119 € and 179 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The American Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Listed in the British Amazon catalogue with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

Prices quoted in this text were read on 13 September 2026. The live price is at the top of the page.

What it does well, and what it gives up

  • Sizes from postcard 100 by 148 mm down to 22 by 17.3 mm stickers, all published
  • An 8.9 cm screen on the body, and a mains adapter and cassette supplied

Compromises

  • No print time published, where two printers here give 55 and 67 seconds
  • No battery: it runs from the supplied mains adapter
  • The first bullet is a Disney+ offer that expired on 15 January 2025

Specifications

TechnologyDye-sublimation, the process behind the hundred-year permanence claim in the title. Canon sells the SELPHY line on print life, and the mechanism is the same three-dye-plus-laminate arrangement the KODAK and Liene here describe
Ink set and cartridge countA paired ribbon-and-paper cassette, with a postcard-format cassette in the box per the fifth bullet. No layer count or ribbon count is published
Ink typeDye on a ribbon
Maximum paper sizeTHE ONLY FULL RANGE ON THIS SHELF: postcard at 100 by 148 mm at the top, down to mini-stickers of 22 by 17.3 mm, in the third bullet. Postcard format is nearly four times the area of the 5 by 7.6 cm prints from the KODAK and Liene here — it is a photograph for a frame rather than a wallet
Borderless supportNot stated, which is a real gap on the one printer here that reaches postcard size — the format where a white margin is most visible
Media pathsFOUR, and this is what separates the page: cable-free connection to phones, computers and compatible cameras; USB-C for a computer, a camera or a USB stick; and an SD, SDHC or SDXC CARD SLOT. A card slot means a camera’s own card prints directly, with no phone and no app between
ConnectivityWireless plus USB-C plus card, with an 8.9 cm LCD on the body in the fourth bullet — so images are chosen on the printer itself rather than on a phone

What people ask before they commit

Why does a card slot change the workflow?

It removes the phone. Three printers on this shelf accept Bluetooth from an app and nothing else, so every photograph has to reach a phone first — which for a camera file means a transfer, a cable or a Wi-Fi app. The second bullet takes the SD card straight from the camera, and the 8.9 cm screen picks the frame.

How much bigger is postcard format?

Nearly four times the area. A hundred by 148 mm against 5 by 7.6 cm: one goes in a frame or an album sleeve, the other in a wallet. The third bullet publishes the whole range down to a 22 by 17.3 mm sticker, which no other page here does.

Should the hundred-year claim be taken at face value?

It is a permanence claim about dye-sublimation under normal storage, made in the title and nowhere expanded in the bullets. Sublimation prints are sealed under laminate, which is genuinely what protects them from air and handling — but the page gives no storage conditions, no standard and no test, so it is a claim rather than a figure.
