Canon SELPHY CP 1000 Compact Photo Printer

Lab-Quality Memories, Anytime and Anywhere

The Canon SELPHY CP1000 is a stylish and ultra-portable photo printer designed for those who want to turn digital memories into physical keepsakes instantly. Combining a compact, travel-friendly design with professional dye-sublimation technology, this printer delivers vibrant, lab-quality prints that are built to last. Whether you’re at a family gathering, a wedding, or running a small business that requires instant ID photos, the CP1000 provides a simple, high-speed solution for high-quality imagery without the need for a computer.

Expansive Key Features & Benefits

Professional Dye-Sublimation Technology

Unlike standard inkjet printers, the SELPHY CP1000 uses dye-sublimation thermal transfer technology. This process produces smooth gradations and deep colors, resulting in photos that look and feel like they came from a professional photo lab. Each print is finished with a protective overcoating that makes it resistant to splashes, spills, and fading for up to 100 years when stored in an album.

Ultra-Portable Design with Optional Battery

With its sleek, lightweight build, the CP1000 fits easily into a bag or backpack. For true on-the-go freedom, it can be powered by an optional rechargeable battery pack (NB-CP2L), allowing you to print in remote locations or outdoor events where a power outlet isn’t available. A single charge can deliver over 36 postcard-sized prints, making it a favorite for travel photographers.

Advanced ID Photo & Dual ID Printing

The CP1000 is a powerful tool for small businesses and administrative offices. It features a dedicated ID Photo Print mode with a Face Frame Guide, allowing you to create passport and ID photos that meet widely accepted standards. The Dual ID feature is particularly efficient, enabling you to print two different-sized ID photos on a single sheet of paper to minimize waste and maximize utility.

Flexible Connectivity & “Print Your Way”

You don’t need a PC to get started. The printer is equipped with a tilting 2.7-inch color LCD screen for easy image previewing and editing. You can print directly from:

• USB Flash Drives and PictBridge-compatible cameras.

• SD and CF Memory Cards (via the built-in slots).

• Direct Computer Connection via a USB mini-B port for those who prefer traditional workflows.

Selectable Finishes without Changing Paper

One of the most innovative features of the SELPHY range is the ability to choose between four distinct print finishes (one glossy and three semi-gloss variations) using the same standard photo paper. This allows you to produce “matte-style” prints that are resistant to fingerprints without the need to buy different types of expensive consumables.

Ideal Use Cases

• Event Photographers: Providing instant prints for guests at weddings, parties, or corporate gatherings.

• Small Businesses: Generating professional ID and passport photos for customers on demand.

• Families & Crafters: Perfect for scrapbooking, creating photo albums, or printing school projects with durable, smudge-proof photos.
