Canon KP-108IN Ink/Paper Set

Great value for the bulk. Love to print pictures: nowadays every digital photo makes it an intangible one. Printing my pictures bring them back to life.

This product includes the paper and necessary "ink" cartridge to make superb 4x6 prints that also can be used as postcards with even an area marked for the appropriate postage stamp. The printer and paper/ink set produces superb quality DYE SUBLIMATION PRINTS. Glossy and wonderful colors. You also have the option for a group of images; different contrasts, red eye fix, even black and white. Yes, it does take about 48 to 50 seconds to get the print; but you don't need to run down to Walgreens if you don't want to. Great for groups, events and parties; Grandma goes home with instant memories. Great for forensic use and other "gotta have a "picture of this stuff." Don't leave prints in your car or boat; They will fade with harmful exposure. Dye Sub prints as they are known are much better than inkjet but also cost more. Walgreens which has great labs and techs is pretty inexpensive; but if a dollar or so a print does not bother you; its a winner. The AC adapter is white and bulky; so it that is something that concerns you; get the white printer. I my opinion Canon's setup is a bit better than the Sony machine overall, which I had for years. When you need bigger prints go to the new SONY pro stuff; expensive but a money maker for the event professional.

The most cost-effective paper and ink pack for the Selphy CP-series, comes down to about 27 cents per photo right now. The box contains three ink packs, each good for 36 prints, and six 18-photo-paper packs (The CP-760 can only hold 18 photos in its tray). Everything you need to print exactly 108 photos. The paper has Canon written on the back in light gray. The Canon KP-108IP Color Ink/Paper Set (note the "IP") has postcard back but is harder to find.These dye-sub packs print exactly the number of photos indicated, no more, no less, no matter the color coverage on the photo. The "ink" cartridge has a roll of 4-inch-wide film with 6-inch-long sections of each dye (yellow, magenta, cyan) followed by a clear coat, repeated exactly 36 times.When printing, each dye layer goes over the photo and transfers the color to the paper using heat. Sublimation is vaporizing the "ink" from the film in controlled amounts, which is then deposited onto the paper. The printer lets you see the photo at each stage which is neat. The final layer is a plastic clear coat that makes it smudge-proof and water-resistant.The result of this process is that the film inside the used ink cartridge ends up with accurate negatives of your prints in each color. That is why the cartridge can't be reused, but that also means the photos you printed can be recovered from a discarded "empty" cartridge. If that is a problem then I suppose you can yank the film out and dispose of it some other way (not heat as it may cause the remaining dye to vaporize in the air you breathe).

Love this, printing my own pictures. Great kit

Works as advertised and a better price than some. Great product

I own a Canon Selphy CP900 and use them with it. I love my little printer, yes i know i could probably get them in better quality or maybe even cheaper if i have a big name store or seller print them for me. But this is just so convenient. Instant print, no need to drive to the store, no need to wait for them in the mail. The paper feels like it is constructed to last, my only gripe with the printer and the paper is that the photos are cropped a tiny bit. You can add a white border around your photo to prevent that, but the border takes up so much space. For that i take away 1 star. Maybe someone knows a better way to prevent cropping on this particular printer and paper? Leave a comment if so!

Ordered product ,timely shipping ,shipped in protective box. Excellent my second time to order from them.
