Canon RP-108 Genuine Selphy Colour Ink & Paper Set
Canon RP-108 consumables feature integrated ink cassette ribbons paired precisely with dedicated 4 x 6 inch postcard photo paper sheets for specialised dye-sublimation systems. These genuine sets are available in single packs or high-value multi-pack bundles to support uniform media printing without separate paper sourcing. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yield metrics for dye-sublimation media sets differ completely from conventional inkjet testing because the internal ribbon rolls contain exactly enough material to ink the 108 supplied postcard sheets. The fixed operational mechanics mean page production is perfectly linear, eliminating ink-to-paper calculation imbalances during image production.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print casual snapshots or personal records, select the single standard pack to yield 108 physical prints reliably. If you print high volumes at events or track extensive graphic projects, secure the 2-pack bundle to save on your direct production costs. Every consumable pack contains specific media alignment sheets to preserve tracking components.

Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), with items dispatched daily from fulfillment facilities in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. You can check matching media items for your portable printer via our complete Canon ink cartridges category directory.
Pro Tip
Always load the ink ribbon cassette and the corresponding postcard paper from the same matching RP-108 kit box together, as mixing partially used cassettes with paper sheets from older batches will cause the printer sensor to detect a mechanical mismatch and prematurely lock the ink roll.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my SELPHY printer report an ink empty error when there are still paper sheets remaining in the tray?
Dye-sublimation ribbons use a continuous film panel system that advances a fixed distance per print regardless of how much colour saturation your image requires. If paper is handled roughly, loaded unevenly, or fed through multiple test passes, the mechanical alignment sensor can advance the ribbon out of sequence, exhausting the ink panels before sheet 108 feeds through.
Can I purchase the dye-sublimation ink cassettes separately if I run out of ink before paper?
No, Canon does not manufacture individual ink ribbon rolls separate from the media pack. The RP-108 system is engineered entirely as a closed, matched set to guarantee that thermal processing temperatures line up perfectly with the specialised coating layers embedded in the provided postcard paper sheets.
How should I store unused RP-108 paper and ink rolls to prevent degradation between photo projects?
Keep unused sheets inside their protective wrappers and store ink cassettes away from areas exposed to fluctuating heat, humidity, or direct UV sunlight. Because thermal printers fuse dyes directly onto the specialised substrate using intensive heat, any dust or oil transferred onto the raw sheets or exposed ribbon film will create visible permanent streaks across finished prints.
