Canon Selphy QX10 Printer vs Canon Ivy 

Thanks for the info! I have found it not to be very sharp. If you have any tips i would love to hear it.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

Yes it’s a bummer about the ivy!

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome!

I missed it, did you remember how long they lasts?

You can get 20 prints with 1 cartridge.

Its definitely thinner, that was another reason i wanted to try it.

I really like it

Really?! Check bhphoto.com

I believe the printer is what you connect to. I’ll have to try it out.

Funny I was just wondering this myself as I mostly just used it at home and want to take it on vacation this week. When you go to print it has you connect to the printer as if it's the wifi so I don't think you need to be connected, but I am going to test it out and I'll come back here and let you know.

It creates its own ad-hoc network that your phone/tablet connects to.

What you have to realize is the photos are not going to be the same as printing with good paper and ink. It's a great alternative though. I think the seply prints better and has better colors but the photos are often soft and that bugged me so I've gone back to using my canon ivy more.

i just ordered an qx10, and i wonder if this problem will be solved later on? I have an iphone 11, my girlfriend has a new SE, and both of our phones updated to iOS14. Does this mean we are not going to be able to use the printer? I guess not updating their software is not an option. Or i hope so at least.

@@bayk94 Yeah I tried and tried to get it set up but it just wouldn’t cuz of the software capability. This printer just came out this year and so did IOS 14 but how long do we have to wait before it’s capable with IOS 14?

@@bayk94 idk what she is talking about but my iphone with ios14 synced with my printer very easily, you have to use the selphy layout app

@@Sw33tyyx I downloaded that app, and I still have the same problem. It keeps failing to connect.

hopefully the developers update soon!

The paper and cartridge come together. I can’t now remember if the box with 20 prints has two cartridges of just one.

The “ink” is in a cartridge and it last for 20 prints or however big your cartridge is.

I am using a hobonichi cousin right now. I love that I can plan and journal in the same book.

Oh! Do make a video on how you journal in your hobonichi!!

I’d love to see your journal as well. Thanks for sharing. I’m not super happy with any of my mini printers, but they’ll do. I have the Canon Selphy 1300 (?) for scrapbooking and a Polaroid ZIP for my journals/ TNs.

@@wendyengland2530 which ones have the best quality photos and which are easiest to set up/use the app in your opinion? Thanks.. :)

@@shelbyandstuff123 The Polaroid Zip is not necessarily a printer you want if you are looking for quality photos. I've not been super happy with it as far as that goes. The pictures are always too dark and when I try to lighten them, they tend to just look washed out. I use it mostly for convenience sake (easy to throw in a bag and take on a trip). The pictures are also sticky backed so it's nice for when maybe I don't have a pair of scissors on hand to cut apart a photo. The Selphy definitely has better quality photos. They are nice and clear. Some people take that on trips as well, which I could do, but it's a little big for that in for my purposes. Also, the Selphy app has more opportunities to edit the photo than the Polaroid Zip. The bummer thing about the Canon Selphy is that they aren't true 4x6 photos. They are close, but it's always a bummer if I'm using a photo in a pocket page. I generally end up having to mat the photo for it to look nice in the pockets. Perhaps the newer models are better in this respect. I hope that helps.

I should do a video because I have the HP photo paper as well. I bought it for that reason, but found it was way too blue. It's been too long though. I will have to play around again.

yes its definitely thinner.

I have bought it for $15.99 at either Amazon or bhphoto

You can't. Not yet anyway. I saw another review, where he mentioned that :)

You can put a broader around the photo, but the white boarder will always be there.

Oh good!

Oh shoot! Must have even the printer you should try buying again. I haven't had that problem at all.

Unfortunately I’m not sure

You’re welcome

Hi! I recently got the Kodak Mini Shot 3 retro and was wondering if it would be a better idea to switch to the Canon Selphy QX10. If you have both, could you let me know which one has a better print quality? And which one you like better overall?

Right now I’m exclusively using the canon qx10

@@amygretchenstudio bought it too, pity that the pictures are very expensive 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have the iPhone 12 Pro and it works fine

I'm sorry I am not sure since I am running the latest software.

Try amazon or bhphoto.com

It looks like a Polaroid but it isn't as thick- it's just on sticker paper, so you can easily cut the frame off.

You can change the size of your photo and it doesn't have to be square, but that means it will be smaller than the printed area.

I have used hp paper in the Ivy just make sure you have the blue canon card to use. It won't work with the HP blue card.

9euros on Amazon for 20 papers

They are widely available now amzn.to/3fetP0c

thanks. Hope you're enjoying your word

What would you like to see. More samples?

because I used the paper

It lays down a plastic coating in the end so i don’t think it would do anything, but i will try it and report back.

Just like i thought, water just rolls off

@@amygretchenstudio great thanks! Just bought it!! But I have trouble connecting the bluetooth..

Haha 😂 yep!

Agreed about the price. Much too high.

I also don’t like the borders on pics . My son bought this for me for Christmas and it’s going back if like I said it doesn’t print edge to edge . Have you purchased one that prints edge to edge that prints good and it’s pics are sharp. Rather pay a little more and be happy with it.

Agree, i wish there was a better way.

@@amygretchenstudio The better way is to just say no. No one "has to" use these. We vote for sustainability for and against sustainability with our dollars.

Yes there is 20 photos in the box, 10 per package.
