The per-print is around 30 cents for both ($0.32 for Selphy and $0.27 for PictureMate) vs. Both can print images with borders as well as a number of multi-photo collages. These printers are very similar in that they are single-function, designed to print only 4×6 prints using their own proprietary ink and paper packs. Since I set up both printers myself, I’ll also share a few notes on that process. I’ll also say in advance that I don’t think either printer is perfect, but one does perform better than the other. I sent the same photo, below, to both printers and compared the results. To begin I’ll say this was not a scientific comparison. When it arrived, I knew I had to compare it with the Selphy. Last week I ordered the Epson PictureMate Show, based on the recommendation of Ali Edwards. I also noticed, when comparing a Selphy print to a Persnickety print, that the images were decidedly not crisp. I used the Selphy mostly for layouts there the true size wasn’t important, printing 4×6-ish and 3×3-ish images most often. At first it was fine, but over time I grew frustrated.Īs I started working even more with pocket pages, I didn’t want my prints swimming around or appearing so much smaller than 4×6 journal cards. I was willing to deal with the odd print size (or so I thought). When I saw the quality of the prints and that I could print from my iPhone, I had to order one for myself. I was always calibrating, testing, and cleaning the print heads.Ī year ago I purchased the Canon Selphy CP-900 for my parents as a gift. There’s an HP all-in-one in my closet that can technically print photos but I found it be more trouble that it was worth. The quality is always spot-on and can’t be matched by 1-hour photo centers. It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Persnickety Prints and have ordered hundreds of prints over the past few years.
