What does the Canon SELPHY CP1300 use: ink cartridges or ink & paper?
The CP1300 uses a dye-sublimation ink cassette paired with matching photo paper—most commonly the Canon KP-108IN format. Many shoppers call these “ink cartridges”, but the key difference is that SELPHY consumables are designed to be used as a matched ink + paper set for reliable feeding and consistent colour.
Why KP-108IN delivers better-looking photos
Unlike standard inkjet printing, SELPHY uses dye-sublimation, laying down colour in controlled layers to produce smooth tones, natural skin colours, and sharp detail. A final coating layer helps protect prints from everyday handling, making them ideal for albums, gifts, parties and keepsakes.
How to choose the right pack size
- Occasional printing: A single KP-108IN pack is perfect for holidays, birthdays and scrapbooking.
- Frequent printing: Multi-packs reduce cost per photo and keep spare sets ready for events.
- Best results: Use genuine, matched sets to avoid colour inconsistency and paper feed issues.
Print quality tips for the SELPHY CP1300
- Store paper flat and sealed to prevent curling and misfeeds.
- Handle sheets by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the printable surface.
- Let prints fully settle before stacking large batches straight off the printer.
- For long-lasting photos, store in albums or display behind glass away from direct sunlight.
