Canon SELPHY CP500 Colour Ink and Paper Sets
Shop colour ink and paper sets for your Canon SELPHY CP500, which uses the Canon KP-108IN colour ink and paper sets series. The SELPHY CP500 is a compact dye-sublimation printer designed for outputting 4x6 photo prints using bundled media packs. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for this printer since Aug 2026. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Replacing the colour ink cassette and paper together prevents running out of ink mid-pack.
Expected Print Output and Page Yields
Canon SELPHY CP500 colour ink and paper sets are calibrated so each ink cassette yields the exact number of prints as the bundled photo paper, such as 36 prints for 36IP or 108 prints for KP-108IN sets under standard ISO/IEC photographic testing.
Choosing Colour Ink and Paper Sets
Selecting the right colour ink and paper set depends on your printing volume. Standard 36IP sets suit occasional photo printing, while high-capacity KP-108IN packs deliver better per-print value for larger print runs. We dispatch orders rapidly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. Every purchase of genuine Canon colour ink and paper sets is backed by our direct returns policy.
Consumable Buyer Tip
Always purchase complete colour ink and paper sets like the KP-108IN or 36IP rather than attempting to source photo paper separately. The dye-sublimation ink cassette is metered precisely to the number of photo sheets included in the box, ensuring equal depletion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Canon SELPHY CP500 ink cassettes come packaged with photo paper?
Dye-sublimation technology uses solid dye ribbons metered to print a specific number of 4x6 photos. Canon packages the colour ink cassette and paper together in sets like KP-108IN and 36IP to ensure you never run out of ink before finishing the paper pack.
What is the difference between KP-108IN and 36IP colour ink and paper sets?
Both sets use identical dye-sublimation colour ink formulation and paper dimensions for the SELPHY CP500. The 36IP pack contains ink and paper for 36 prints, whereas the KP-108IN pack contains three 36-print paper packs and matching ink cassettes for a lower cost per photo.
Will dye-sublimation colour ink cassettes dry out if left in the SELPHY CP500?
No. Unlike traditional liquid inkjet cartridges, dye-sublimation ink cassettes use a dry film ribbon containing cyan, magenta, yellow, and clear protective coating layers. They do not dry out, clog, or evaporate, even when left unused for months.
