OMG!.... you are a life saver , I purchased my selphy about a year ago, but hardly used it as I could never find a GOOD video to watch that explained it so well & easy to understand, now I can use my slephy. Thank you Thank you ❤❤❤
I've had my Selphy printer since 2014. I've been using PicFrame for 3 years now. And it's only NOW - while watching this video - i realized how to print out those different photo sizes!! LOL! It's definitely one big AHA Moment for me! Thank you sooo much for making my life a lot simpler! Hehehe
LOL!! I totally understand 😁 I was determined to learn on this thing and figure out how to get my money’s worth lol. I’m so happy it was helpful to you 🤗💕
Omgosh! I've had this printer for years but you have just enlightened me! Wow! I love how you broke the 2 pics up. I've been trying to fig that one out for years! Thank you so much!
Oh thank you so much Dyane 🤗 I’m so happy this video was helpful to you. I was hoping by doing this video people will use their Selphy more often and learn a few new tricks 😁💕
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I don't know why it didn't click in my head to use 3:2 ratio with the "pic frame" app. I love "pic frame" and have used it forever, longer than I have had my printer. It's an older app but a diamond in the rough. I miss using my Canon selphy cp1200 and always struggled with "error print paper size". So, I stop using until today. My photos were edited in the wrong ratio this whole time causing the printer to act wonky. I'm sharing your video in the help forums. I haven't had a problem since making this small fix on the ratio when editing my photos. You've solved a bigger problem than you realize when using the printer. Yay! Thank you again!
I totally understand Nikki. I had that same problem but once you figure it out your photos turn out just like they should. Thank you so much dear 🥰 I’m always happy to share what I know
Hello, Heba! I recently found your channel and can not adequately express how much I’ve enjoyed you, your style, and your videos. I look forward to all of your posts and have been exploring previous videos too. Most recently I watched your Canon Selphy tips and tricks. Life-changing!! Thank you!!
Borders + not using the perforation = genius! It’s my first year doing project life and I’ve been struggling to come up with a photo printing process that isn’t laborious. I haven’t been using my Selphy because it’s not a true 4x6. Now I feel like I can switch to the Selphy. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I've had my selphy printer for 2+ years and still learned some tips from your video! I tried printing directly from the photo gallery on my phone and parts of the photo were cut off. I can't wait to start printing photos with white border from pic frame! Thanks!!
You have been a GREAT HELP! I like how you also took it the next level with the 6x8. My printer was a friend hand-me-down without instructions,so I appreciate your detailed instructions. Thanks again. Happy Journaling!
Oh you are very welcome Patti ♥️ Like you I couldn’t find anybody sharing ideas on how to print different sizes with a Selphy. So of course I had to share. I’m always happy to share what I know 😁
I've said it so many times but you are so clever!! I've had this same printer for years now and you have given me so many handy tips! Thank you so much!!
This is a great tutorial! I have watched a lot on printing small photos but yours was the best, clear explanation. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
This was a Great video. Thank You so much. Most videos will go through all the instructions without showing the end results, that is so frustrating. Thanks for for including the end product. Great simple instructions.
Thank you so much dear 🤗 I’m so happy I was able to help. I totally understand it’s pretty frustrating and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to share the end results. It’s so much helpful to see it then to just talk about it.
Thank you so much 🥰 it’s an old one from Tonic but if you watch any of my recent videos I’m using a new version from Tonic and I do have it linked in my videos 😁
Great comprehensive video. What I do wonder though: why don't you use a regular quality photo printer with photo paper? You could easily just print the right size without worrying about perforation, ratios, etc... ?
Yes, that works as well but I do love the quality of this print. I also have a PictureMate printer which is also a great printer but I find myself gravitating to the Selphy for quality.
You are a genius...My frustration with the selphy printer was always that the photos weren’t true size. Not cutting on the perforation is a great idea, thank you 🙏
Txs. ✌️. Nice video. And apps you are using. My issue is I want to print on demand postcards for my guests when they stayed in our accommodation with a photo of them at the accommodation. My concern is that I don't know what the paper backside look like. Apparently Canon prints their logo on the back. 😳 Not sure how bad it is. But I'll need to write the postcard details on the blank area. I can either print postcard templates on sticky material, or use a laser printer to print the back ends with the passport template. Any ideas?
Oh I’m sorry I wouldn’t know how you can do that. The only thing I can recommend is probably getting them printed at your local stamps or Office Depot. You could even search on RUclips best post card printers. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help
Thank you so much for the wonderful tips, I about to become a new Selphy owner and can’t wait. Do you have any advice about printing black and white photos?
I cut my selphy pictures the same way for project life and I agree you barely can tell. They fit perfectly when you do that AND thank you for the 6x8 tip I will have to try that!
Just got the Canon Sephy 1300 and I just loved this video...actually took notes so very helpful....thank you so much can't wait to get started...I do TN's so so excited about the smaller pics...thanks again!!
Yay!! I’m happy to help Vivian. I hope you are enjoying your new Selphy. It really does help to know some tricks on how to print those smaller photos for your TN layouts 😁💕
Heda I just received my Canon Selphy!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched this video twice and I love it you are such a great teacher.. I also am TN addict and I have started a great memory keeping system for all the photos in my phone. Thank you so much for sharing! Oh yea I am a subscriber!!!!
Do you have issues with the printer running out of the ink before you run out of paper? I heard some people take the ink out before they turn the printer on and just wondering if you have run into this issue. I love your style of journaling. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Yes, this is an issue with the Selphy. I also take out the ink before starting up my printer. I don’t know why they don’t fix this problem 🤦🏻♀️ But I found that taking out the ink before starting it up helps. Thank you so much dear ♥️
Your setup and tutorial is awesome but I'm not sure if it will work for my old cp800 and samsung j2 dash phone. I've been having troubles printing newer" pictures as the selphy only stores so many photos and have been searching for compatible info without luck. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh I honestly don’t know. I would search RUclips or Google for the answer. Honestly everything I’ve learned with the Selphy printer was by searching the internet 😁
Thank you sooooo much you really saved me 😄 I just bought one and it’s been difficult for me to make the images the perfect size😅 Thank you again and keep up your amazing work 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing. I learned a few things. I use a Canon Selphy but I used Pic Stitch. It's basically the same but it's not as easy to regulate the borders. I like that you showed us not to tear off the edges at the perforation. I'll try that. And if the perforation is on a white border then you REALLY can't see it. Excellent tutorial.
That;s what I meant. I DO change the border size in Pic Stitch, it just seems more like a guessing game. I never noticed any thing you can measure by and if I go away from the selphy for more than a week, I can't remember how to make the border the same as last time. Hey! I just got an idea. I could take a picture if the border width I chose.
Oh my gosh...thanks so much Heba! I've been using my Selphy for quite a few years too and you just taught me so much. I've struggle with my current app (PicStitch) for awhile and have been so frustrated! You just made my day with some new tricks!!! Mwah!
being new to selphy 1300 wondering if possible to alternate sizes of photo paper/ink cartridge before cartridge is used up. may an ink cartridge be removed and reinserted?
Hi Linda, yes you can remove the ink and reinsert it. I would recommend watching a few I boxing’s to see how the printer works. It really does help understand the printer
Thank you so much for sharing . I just bought this printer and have been waiting for this tutorial. Beautifully explained. Made sure to take notes. Thank you for sharing your talent! 😘
Heba, This video was sooooo helpful! Thank you for this resource and for making it so easy to understand by going step by step through your process and each program you use! I was able to easily follow along and have success. I feel like this is going to change my memory-keeping life! xo
This printer has its own paper and ink. I have both linked in the discerption box. I don’t know if any other photo paper works with this printer. I’ve never tried I’ve only used it’s special made SELPHY paper 💕
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I am convinced I need a selphy printer now. I have been playing with the PicFrame app while i wait for it. I have couple questions. I am an android user and I only see 32 different photo layouts on my phone where it looks like you have double that. Has it changed that much? Also I find after each college created the app crashes is that because I use android?
You know what, a lot of people told me there is two versions of the PicFrame. I would look into that. Maybe android offers both versions. I’ve had my app forever so they could have changed it with all the updates.
Oh my gosh I totally forgot about the zip. But I do want you to know Wendy that I use the same app PicTapGo to brighten my photos. I even make them brighter then I would when printing with my Selphy. So my photos would come out more clearer with the zip printer, if that makes any sense.
It does. I actually use Snapseed to adjust my photos, but I still can't seem to find a good balance. They are still too dark on my Zip. I've noticed also that my pics on my Canon Selphy are turning out darker than when I first started using it. Ugh!
That’s so weird I wonder why that’s happening. The zip does print photos darker then they really are. I guess because it doesn’t work with Ink. But mine usually works when I brighten my photos before printing.
I honestly have never tried using other photo paper. But I believe you have to use the canon because of the ink. Plus they don’t sell the ink separately I wish they did because I tend to run out of ink before paper
I’ve never tried bc they sell the ink with the paper. So I just use the paper for the printer. I hate that they don’t offer the ink separate from the paper
This is great! I was having trouble with the photo sizes. But: when you save on each of those apps, does that duplicate the photos or does it replace it with the new changes? Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have been trying to decide on a portable printer. Between the Sprochet and the Selphy. It looks like the Selphy is more versatile. But, to be truly portable you need the battery pack?
@@judyanderson7489 or get something like halo bolt charging block. I have one to jumpstart car and charge phones. It also has a built in plug so it could run this. I charge my laptop sometimes on it as well. About $100 much cheaper than the battery and has a long battery life.
Hi Mark, that's why I use the PicFrame app. Our phone camera doesn't take 4x6 photos they are slightly larger. So if you change the format in PicFrame to a 4x6 then you will be able to print the right size with the Selphy printer. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for the video! Is it not possible to use this machine Without installing the battery ? Because in your video all time The cable was plugged in to the machine.
Fabulous video thanks so much for sharing , I got straight onto my selphy and tried it all out. The pictures now look fab with all even borders in my TN. The apps that you used are also really great. My TN will look so much better now. Thank you xx
Hi Heba. I have this printer and I have followed your video step by step but all my 4x3 pics end up either 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 . I also notice on the video your 2 photos take up practically all the space on the sheets when printed out where as mine end up more in the middle with lots of space around the photos. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Would i need to make any adjustments inside the printer? Any ideas please!! My printer is the 1200, I don't know if that would make a difference. Thank you very much!!!
Hi Kuini, that’s so weird I don’t know why that happens with your prints. Make sure your paper is set properly in the tray I always tap my tray to make sure the paper is all the way at the end of the tray. But I never adjust anything through the printer. I always use the apps to adjust the size of my photos. The Selphy never prints a true 4x6. That’s why I recommend to use PicFrame even if you don’t add a boarder.
@@MyLittleJournal Hi Heba, THANK YOU!! I was making my borders way to thick. I had a "light-bulb moment" when I swiped the dial all the way to the left to no border, and hey presto!! I got PicFrame and Phonto after watching this video. I have tried other apps. but have found these two a lot easier to use, (now I know better!!) and very happy with them. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!! Thank you so much :)
@my little journal excuse me, actually I want to ask you regarding purchasing the paper cassette or a paper tray for my cp800 printers can you help me with this
Hi Heba, I have a Canon Selphy too and when I put the border on my pictures as you did, the printer cut the border at the top and the bottom of the picture. How did you get ride of that? I think the printer makes a small trim on the pictures...
Hi Sara, that’s why I make the boarder very big Bc the Selphy chops half of it off. You will loss a bit from your photo bc of the larger border but I don’t mind it. Also it will never be perfect but nobody will notice it but you, believe me 😁💕
Thank you 🤗 No I don’t I’m not really big on digital and I have my own method of getting my pages ready each week. So you can say I have my own grove and don’t want to mess with it lol 😂
Do you know if it's possible to print things long-distance? I'm trying to find a photo printer that I can use long-distance for a family member who doesn't have a smartphone or computer. That way we can take pictures and have them instantly sent to her in physical form.
Oh I don’t know of any printer that would do that. But I bought my mother a Nixplay frame. You can upload photos from anywhere and the photos will show up on the frame. It’s a great little gadget for people who want to share family photos.
Hi, love that you have done this, it's fab for complete beginner like me. I would like to fully utilise the paper that I use(I hate waste) on whatever the size and I'm finding it difficult to ensure that this is possible when I do collages can you help please? I hope you I make sense...
Thank you so much. Maybe you should create your collages without a boarder. That might help. But I think collages is a great way to not waste your photo paper 😁💕
Fabulous video! Thanx for sharing your tips. I have a selphy exactly like yours and stoped using it because of the way it “cropped” photos cutting off pieces of the pictures! Hoping these apps and using the borders will help with that issue.
I hope it works out for you. I was kinda bummed because a few weeks ago my printer stopped working so I had to buy a new one. It was good to me and lasted a long time. But now I’m a new owner of the upgraded Selphy printer and I love it even more then my old one 😊
Hey ! I have a selphy 1300 and Everytime I print, I get a inch border. I'd like to get my photos to have the small border like yours in your video have, how do I do that ? Thank you !
I actually share that in a different video here on my channel. Just go to my playlist under tutorials you will find another SELPHY tutorials where I share how to add boarders to your photos 😁💕
Heba, I loved your tutorial. I followed right along setting up each app as you directed, picked my photos...but, my SELPHY printer app has a layout feature that doesn’t seem to let me override! It seems to make ALL my pictures smaller than I’ve made them. The pic collage makes so much sense. I get the pictures to look great, then the printer adjusts them. I’ve wasted so much photo paper. When I tap my Canon Icon the screen comes up SELPHY Photo Layout select and print. Any advice?
Please disregard. 😂I discovered another Canon App, that looks just like yours, and doesn’t have the added features that cancelled mine out! Sheesh! I think I’m good! 😂😂
Lol 😂 Yay!! The Selphy printer is such a mystery. I had to watch loads of videos and tutorials, when I first bought it, to learn how to get it to work like I need it to. I’m so happy you figured it out 💕
Heba this was very helpful. I was wondering a few things. Do you ever print 4x4s, have you ever had the issue of your printer saying you have the wrong size paper, and do you leaver your printer on all the time?
Hello dear, I never get that my paper is the wrong size. I don’t think I’ve heard anybody complain about that 🤔 That’s kind weird, does it do that to a lot? I do print 4x4. If you choose the last page on PicFrame then choose the frame with two boxes. The trick is to not have boarders. But Bc I love my borders I use first page, forth row, first frame. It has one large pic and three small ones. What I do is, you can maneuver the line in the frame so I pull the line to create a large square to the left. You end up with a one 4x4 and three 2x2s. If you follow me on IG send me a message and I can sho you with pictures that would be easier. 😁
My Little Journal I follow you, I’m in your travel journal group, I’m Dionne. I’ll send you a message. Ali Brown has been getting the same message about paper size. I bought a new printer for that reason but would love to fix the old one and give to my friend.
Thank you for the great tutorial. I have the Selphy and was not happy with photos not being a true 4 x 6. Great tip. Do you know how to print a 2.5 x 2.5 size? I had a Picturemate prior and was able to do that, however I can't do it on the Selphy. That is a great size for 3 x 4 PL cards.
You are very welcome dear 🤗 I think if you played with the white boarder you can probably get that size. I’ve learned to use the boarder to give me the size I want. It does take trial and error but eventually you figure it out 😁
I have a selphy and this is a really great video for tips as I have only had it since xmas. Can I ask about stamping on your photos as you make it look effortless, I have recently invested in stazon as other inks wouldn't stick but you don't use stazon, also stazon is really slippy so smears really easily, what do you find works best for you on selphy photo paper?
I think it is more the way you stamp on Selphy paper then what ink you use. I do use Brilliance ink or Archival. But when I Stamp I don’t put a lot of pressure on my block. So I Stamp straight down don’t move my hand much, keep it stable then move it back up. Because Selphy paper doesn’t take in the ink you have to air dry it. So I don’t slip it in the pocket until it dries. Or I use my heat gun to dry it. Stazon works as well but I’m not a fan of stazon Bc it is very sticky especially on Selphy paper. I will be doing a stamping video hopefully very soon and share some techniques with you guys 😁 I hope my comment made sense lol
I know this was made over a year ago, but THANK YOU! I feel much better about finally pulling out my Selphy printer (yes, I waited too long to actually TRY it) and start using it! Now I need to go add some of those apps! :o)
Hi Heba! I loved my Selphy for so long, but when I recently pulled it out I’m getting an error signal saying my ink cartridge is the wrong size. Have you ever had this problem or heard anyone else have it? I’ve had my printer for at least 5 years so it may just be time to replace! Love your newer and older videos... thanks for always inspiring me.
Oh I don’t believe I’ve ever had something like that happen to me. I would call the help support at Canon they might be able to help you with that. My Selphy lasted a long time I just recently bought a new one because my older one just stopped working 😔 I would call before getting a new one maybe it’s just a few buttons and you can get to work again. Good luck dear ♥️
Wow! Your video was so helpful in making my decision to go ahead & order my Selphy CP1300! Those apps are perfect! I will now subscribe to your chanel, thanks for sharing!

Oh I honestly don’t know. I would search RUclips or Google for the answer. Honestly everything I’ve learned with the Selphy printer was by searching the internet 😁
Thank you sooooo much you really saved me 😄
I just bought one and it’s been difficult for me to make the images the perfect size😅
Thank you again and keep up your amazing work 👏🏻👏🏻
You are very welcome. This video is pretty old and a lot of the apps got updated but I hope it still helps you out when you use your Selphy 🥰
Very informative and helpful video!! Thank you for taking the time to film this video!!
Oh you are very welcome! I hope it was helpful 🤗
Thanks for sharing. I learned a few things. I use a Canon Selphy but I used Pic Stitch. It's basically the same but it's not as easy to regulate the borders. I like that you showed us not to tear off the edges at the perforation. I'll try that. And if the perforation is on a white border then you REALLY can't see it. Excellent tutorial.
kimcreate1 you can change the thickness of the borders in pic stitch! or did you mean something else when you said regulate?
That;s what I meant. I DO change the border size in Pic Stitch, it just seems more like a guessing game. I never noticed any thing you can measure by and if I go away from the selphy for more than a week, I can't remember how to make the border the same as last time. Hey! I just got an idea. I could take a picture if the border width I chose.
Yes exactly I never had a problem with it being obvious. Sometimes we just have to make things work for our crafty needs lol!!
Peace, this is awsome information ✌🏻
Thank you so much for all your videos!
Oh it’s my pleasure dear 🥰
Oh my gosh...thanks so much Heba! I've been using my Selphy for quite a few years too and you just taught me so much. I've struggle with my current app (PicStitch) for awhile and have been so frustrated! You just made my day with some new tricks!!! Mwah!
Oh you are very welcome my friend 😘 I’m so happy I was able to help you out dear Joanne 💕
being new to selphy 1300 wondering if possible to alternate sizes of photo paper/ink cartridge before cartridge is used up. may an ink cartridge be removed and reinserted?
Hi Linda, yes you can remove the ink and reinsert it. I would recommend watching a few I boxing’s to see how the printer works. It really does help understand the printer
Great video!!! Loved all your tips. I didn't know how to do borders, I'm so happy you showed that!
Thank you Lori 🤗 I’m so happy this video was helpful for you
Fantastic tutorial Heba!! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
Oh thank you so much Shelly for watching 🤗💕
Wonderful video, quite helpful for a first time user. Is pic tap go app still available?
Yes, it’s still available. They did do an update it looks a bit different now but works the same
This is a GREAT video, soooo helpful! Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome 😁 I’m happy it was helpful Donna 💕
Thank you so much for sharing . I just bought this printer and have been waiting for this tutorial. Beautifully explained. Made sure to take notes. Thank you for sharing your talent! 😘
Oh yay!! You are definitely gonna have fun printing out your photos with your new Selphy. I’m so happy this video helped you out 🤗
Heba, This video was sooooo helpful! Thank you for this resource and for making it so easy to understand by going step by step through your process and each program you use! I was able to easily follow along and have success. I feel like this is going to change my memory-keeping life! xo
Oh you are very welcome dear. I’m happy the video was helpful to you 🥰
Thank you so much, you are an amazing teacher!!!
Oh thank you so much 🥰
Thanks for this great video! Just wondered what paper do you buy for this?
This printer has its own paper and ink. I have both linked in the discerption box. I don’t know if any other photo paper works with this printer. I’ve never tried I’ve only used it’s special made SELPHY paper 💕
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I am convinced I need a selphy printer now. I have been playing with the PicFrame app while i wait for it. I have couple questions. I am an android user and I only see 32 different photo layouts on my phone where it looks like you have double that. Has it changed that much? Also I find after each college created the app crashes is that because I use android?
You know what, a lot of people told me there is two versions of the PicFrame. I would look into that. Maybe android offers both versions. I’ve had my app forever so they could have changed it with all the updates.
Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you were going to do a tutorial on your Polaroid Zip. I'd love to see how you get such clear pictures on it.
Oh my gosh I totally forgot about the zip. But I do want you to know Wendy that I use the same app PicTapGo to brighten my photos. I even make them brighter then I would when printing with my Selphy. So my photos would come out more clearer with the zip printer, if that makes any sense.
It does. I actually use Snapseed to adjust my photos, but I still can't seem to find a good balance. They are still too dark on my Zip. I've noticed also that my pics on my Canon Selphy are turning out darker than when I first started using it. Ugh!
That’s so weird I wonder why that’s happening. The zip does print photos darker then they really are. I guess because it doesn’t work with Ink. But mine usually works when I brighten my photos before printing.
A very useful video! Thank you very much.
You are very welcome ♥️
Can we use regular 4x6 photo paper? Or does it have to be the one from them with the perforations
I honestly have never tried using other photo paper. But I believe you have to use the canon because of the ink. Plus they don’t sell the ink separately I wish they did because I tend to run out of ink before paper
Fantastic tips!
Thank you 🥰
I have this printer and I'm so excited to use it now because of you. Where do you prefer to purchase your photo paper. It can sure get expensive
Oh you are gonna love it! I buy mine from amazon or staples and staples will match prices with amazon 😁
Do you have to use special 4x6 photo paper for this? Or does any brand photo paper work?
I’ve never tried bc they sell the ink with the paper. So I just use the paper for the printer. I hate that they don’t offer the ink separate from the paper
I so appreciate this video! Thank you! I’ve been wracking my brain as to how I get the borders!
Oh I’m so happy it was helpful for you. I decided to share because I get asked about my borders all the time
Wow.....48 dislikes. Why? Another great video. I love your pages and videos. I always learn so much! Thanks
LOL!! It’s ok you can’t win them all 😁 Thank you so much Cheryl. I’m so happy this video was helpful to you 🥰
I haven't watched the full video but is there a way you can change the shapes of your photo. I.e. a heart or circle and make a collage with them?
No I don’t believe so. Only if you can find an app that will let you do that. Sorry 😐
This is great! I was having trouble with the photo sizes. But: when you save on each of those apps, does that duplicate the photos or does it replace it with the new changes? Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No it duplicates the photo. So you will always have the original which I love. You are very welcome ♥️
I have been trying to decide on a portable printer. Between the Sprochet and the Selphy. It looks like the Selphy is more versatile. But, to be truly portable you need the battery pack?
@@judyanderson7489 or get something like halo bolt charging block. I have one to jumpstart car and charge phones. It also has a built in plug so it could run this. I charge my laptop sometimes on it as well. About $100 much cheaper than the battery and has a long battery life.
Could I ask you how to correct a problem that on some pictures I print it cuts off the heads in the picture
Hi Mark, that's why I use the PicFrame app. Our phone camera doesn't take 4x6 photos they are slightly larger. So if you change the format in PicFrame to a 4x6 then you will be able to print the right size with the Selphy printer. I hope that makes sense.
What size and cartridge do you use in your selphy for your photos please? Just got my selphy just the other day. Thx
Canon has an ink and paper combination for the Selphy printer. If you look at my description box you will find a link for that.
Thank you for the video!
Is it not possible to use this machine Without installing the battery ? Because in your video all time The cable was plugged in to the machine.
No I don’t believe so. You still have to plug it in. Keep in mind I have an older version maybe the new ones have chargeable batteries.
Thanks so much Heba! So very helpful!
Thank you dear ♥️
Fabulous video thanks so much for sharing , I got straight onto my selphy and tried it all out. The pictures now look fab with all even borders in my TN. The apps that you used are also really great. My TN will look so much better now. Thank you xx
Yay!! That makes me so happy 😀You Go Girl!!
Hi Heba. I have this printer and I have followed your video step by step but all my 4x3 pics end up either 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 . I also notice on the video your 2 photos take up practically all the space on the sheets when printed out where as mine end up more in the middle with lots of space around the photos. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Would i need to make any adjustments inside the printer? Any ideas please!! My printer is the 1200, I don't know if that would make a difference. Thank you very much!!!
Hi Kuini, that’s so weird I don’t know why that happens with your prints. Make sure your paper is set properly in the tray I always tap my tray to make sure the paper is all the way at the end of the tray. But I never adjust anything through the printer. I always use the apps to adjust the size of my photos. The Selphy never prints a true 4x6. That’s why I recommend to use PicFrame even if you don’t add a boarder.
@@MyLittleJournal Hi Heba, THANK YOU!! I was making my borders way to thick. I had a "light-bulb moment" when I swiped the dial all the way to the left to no border, and hey presto!! I got PicFrame and Phonto after watching this video. I have tried other apps. but have found these two a lot easier to use, (now I know better!!) and very happy with them. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!! Thank you so much :)
Great tips!
Thank you dear ♥️
Thank you for sharing those tutorials 💝 it is very helpful! 🥰
Oh you are very welcome ♥️
@my little journal excuse me, actually I want to ask you regarding purchasing the paper cassette or a paper tray for my cp800 printers can you help me with this
Oh I don’t know if they sell that separately. Did you try to check on Canons website if they sell them separately?
I don't have pic frame but pic stitch, it has the same sizes and when I save it and look at details it still a large size.
I’m sorry I’m not familiar with Pic Stitch but PicFrame works for me. It’s the only way I can get the Selphy to print a 4x6
Hi Heba, I have a Canon Selphy too and when I put the border on my pictures as you did, the printer cut the border at the top and the bottom of the picture. How did you get ride of that? I think the printer makes a small trim on the pictures...
Hi Sara, that’s why I make the boarder very big Bc the Selphy chops half of it off. You will loss a bit from your photo bc of the larger border but I don’t mind it. Also it will never be perfect but nobody will notice it but you, believe me 😁💕
loved your review!which trimmer is that exactly?
I use the tonic trimmer. I do have it linked in my amazon shop ♥️
@@MyLittleJournal thank you!
Have you seen the new app for the Canon Selphy printer. it is awesome. I have the c910. the prints have never been this easy before.
Yes, I’ve tried it and I love it. I had to update my Selphy printer this year because it died on me.
Great video - thank you. Do you use the project life app at all?
Thank you 🤗 No I don’t I’m not really big on digital and I have my own method of getting my pages ready each week. So you can say I have my own grove and don’t want to mess with it lol 😂
Very helpful video, thank you!
Thank you so much ♥️ I’m happy to help
Do you know if it's possible to print things long-distance? I'm trying to find a photo printer that I can use long-distance for a family member who doesn't have a smartphone or computer. That way we can take pictures and have them instantly sent to her in physical form.
Oh I don’t know of any printer that would do that. But I bought my mother a Nixplay frame. You can upload photos from anywhere and the photos will show up on the frame. It’s a great little gadget for people who want to share family photos.
Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome 🥰
Hi, love that you have done this, it's fab for complete beginner like me. I would like to fully utilise the paper that I use(I hate waste) on whatever the size and I'm finding it difficult to ensure that this is possible when I do collages can you help please? I hope you I make sense...
Thank you so much. Maybe you should create your collages without a boarder. That might help. But I think collages is a great way to not waste your photo paper 😁💕
Can a canyon selphy printer still print photos without photo paper tray
I don’t believe so.
Fabulous video! Thanx for sharing your tips. I have a selphy exactly like yours and stoped using it because of the way it “cropped” photos cutting off pieces of the pictures! Hoping these apps and using the borders will help with that issue.
I hope it works out for you. I was kinda bummed because a few weeks ago my printer stopped working so I had to buy a new one. It was good to me and lasted a long time. But now I’m a new owner of the upgraded Selphy printer and I love it even more then my old one 😊
Hey ! I have a selphy 1300 and Everytime I print, I get a inch border. I'd like to get my photos to have the small border like yours in your video have, how do I do that ? Thank you !
I actually share that in a different video here on my channel. Just go to my playlist under tutorials you will find another SELPHY tutorials where I share how to add boarders to your photos 😁💕
Good day! How often do you need to use the Canon Selphy so that the ink doesn't dry and clog the printer?
I honestly don’t know. I use it almost everyday. So I don’t know if the ink even clogs the printer if you don’t use it
Heba, I loved your tutorial. I followed right along setting up each app as you directed, picked my photos...but, my SELPHY printer app has a layout feature that doesn’t seem to let me override! It seems to make ALL my pictures smaller than I’ve made them. The pic collage makes so much sense. I get the pictures to look great, then the printer adjusts them. I’ve wasted so much photo paper. When I tap my Canon Icon the screen comes up SELPHY Photo Layout select and print. Any advice?
Please disregard. 😂I discovered another Canon App, that looks just like yours, and doesn’t have the added features that cancelled mine out! Sheesh! I think I’m good! 😂😂
Lol 😂 Yay!! The Selphy printer is such a mystery. I had to watch loads of videos and tutorials, when I first bought it, to learn how to get it to work like I need it to. I’m so happy you figured it out 💕
Can this hook directly to your Cannon T6 Rebel Camera and print off that?????
Honestly I don’t know but you can definitely check on Canons website.
Heba this was very helpful. I was wondering a few things. Do you ever print 4x4s, have you ever had the issue of your printer saying you have the wrong size paper, and do you leaver your printer on all the time?
Hello dear, I never get that my paper is the wrong size. I don’t think I’ve heard anybody complain about that 🤔 That’s kind weird, does it do that to a lot? I do print 4x4. If you choose the last page on PicFrame then choose the frame with two boxes. The trick is to not have boarders. But Bc I love my borders I use first page, forth row, first frame. It has one large pic and three small ones. What I do is, you can maneuver the line in the frame so I pull the line to create a large square to the left. You end up with a one 4x4 and three 2x2s. If you follow me on IG send me a message and I can sho you with pictures that would be easier. 😁
My Little Journal
I follow you, I’m in your travel journal group, I’m Dionne. I’ll send you a message.
Ali Brown has been getting the same message about paper size. I bought a new printer for that reason but would love to fix the old one and give to my friend.
Lol!! It’s so hard to figure out who’s who on RUclips. Sorry Dionne 🤗
Thank you so much for this video. I now feel like I can print some pictures that will fit. I love my Canon Selphy.
You are very welcome Cathy 🤗 I’m happy to help out my crafty friends
Thank you for the great tutorial. I have the Selphy and was not happy with photos not being a true 4 x 6. Great tip. Do you know how to print a 2.5 x 2.5 size? I had a Picturemate prior and was able to do that, however I can't do it on the Selphy. That is a great size for 3 x 4 PL cards.
You are very welcome dear 🤗 I think if you played with the white boarder you can probably get that size. I’ve learned to use the boarder to give me the size I want. It does take trial and error but eventually you figure it out 😁
I have a selphy and this is a really great video for tips as I have only had it since xmas. Can I ask about stamping on your photos as you make it look effortless, I have recently invested in stazon as other inks wouldn't stick but you don't use stazon, also stazon is really slippy so smears really easily, what do you find works best for you on selphy photo paper?
I think it is more the way you stamp on Selphy paper then what ink you use. I do use Brilliance ink or Archival. But when I Stamp I don’t put a lot of pressure on my block. So I Stamp straight down don’t move my hand much, keep it stable then move it back up. Because Selphy paper doesn’t take in the ink you have to air dry it. So I don’t slip it in the pocket until it dries. Or I use my heat gun to dry it. Stazon works as well but I’m not a fan of stazon Bc it is very sticky especially on Selphy paper. I will be doing a stamping video hopefully very soon and share some techniques with you guys 😁 I hope my comment made sense lol
Thank you this is really helpful as I have bought brillince ink too and didn't think it would work so will try this, thank you so much
Would love to watch a stamping video too BTW :)
No problem 🤗💕
Awesome Video I am going to be Purchasing the Cannon Selphy Printer, I have an Android Phone so hope it works similar to your Video
Oh I think it still works. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Thank you Jenny ♥️
Thank you so much !!! Great video !!!!
Thank you so much 💕
Such a great video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much!! I’m happy to help 🤗
I know this was made over a year ago, but THANK YOU! I feel much better about finally pulling out my Selphy printer (yes, I waited too long to actually TRY it) and start using it! Now I need to go add some of those apps! :o)
Better late then never 😁 I’m happy that this video was helpful to you. I need to update it maybe record a new one and share 🥰
Great video! Thank you
Thank you dear ♥️
Do the different fonts come with the app?
Yes they do 😁
I love watching all your videos. Do y'all ever go to the Marietta Diner?
Yes we do!! Great and yummy food 😁
My Little Journal I've been there twice and I do agree.
Hi Heba! I loved my Selphy for so long, but when I recently pulled it out I’m getting an error signal saying my ink cartridge is the wrong size. Have you ever had this problem or heard anyone else have it? I’ve had my printer for at least 5 years so it may just be time to replace! Love your newer and older videos... thanks for always inspiring me.
Oh I don’t believe I’ve ever had something like that happen to me. I would call the help support at Canon they might be able to help you with that. My Selphy lasted a long time I just recently bought a new one because my older one just stopped working 😔 I would call before getting a new one maybe it’s just a few buttons and you can get to work again. Good luck dear ♥️
Wow! Your video was so helpful in making my decision to go ahead & order my Selphy CP1300! Those apps are perfect! I will now subscribe to your chanel, thanks for sharing!
Oh thank you so much!! I’m so happy the video was helpful for you 🤗 Welcome to my channel dear 💕
