Costumer Reviews

Important: the ink/paper packs are not compatible between the ES-series and CP-series Selphy printers, make sure to get the right one. This pack (E-P100) is for the ES-series. For the CP-series, you need KP-108IN.

The most cost-effective paper and ink pack for the Selphy ES-series, comes down to about 26 cents per photo right now. The box contains two 50-photo ink/paper packs. The ink and paper are in the same cartridge, which if you have seen the previous models, looks like a CP-style ink cartridge glued to its full paper tray.

Everything you need to print exactly 100 postcard-back photos.

The cartridges come with a small orange tab lock in place. You need to remove it before inserting into the printer as the instructions say. The cartridge won't go in all the way otherwise, so you can't damage the printer, but you risk having the ink film cut due to its tension and therefore the entire 50-pack ruined. Don't ask me how I know.

These dye-sub packs print exactly the number of photos indicated, no more, no less, no matter the color coverage on the photo. The "ink" cartridge has a roll of 4-inch-wide film with 6-inch-long sections of each dye (yellow, magenta, cyan) followed by a clear coat, repeated exactly 36 times.

When printing, each dye layer goes over the photo and transfers the color to the paper using heat. Sublimation is vaporizing the "ink" from the film in controlled amounts, which is then deposited onto the paper. The printer lets you see the photo at each stage which is neat. The final layer is a plastic clear coat that makes it smudge-proof and water-resistant.

The result of this process is that the film inside the used ink cartridge ends up with a pretty accurate "ghost" of the picture left in each color layer. That is why the cartridge can't be reused, but that also means the photos you printed can be recovered from a discarded "empty" cartridge. If that is a problem then I suppose you can yank the film out and dispose of it some other way (not heat as it may cause the remaining dye to vaporize in the air you breathe).

I am using these with TWO Canon ES30 printers.. I have used a total of four cartridges and am on my fifth and sixth now. No problems AT ALL as of yet...

Cartridge contains exactly the amount of INK as is required to handle exactly the number of prints in each cartridge..

(PAPER AND INK ARE IN THE SAME CARTRIDGE. PACKAGE CONTAINS TWO 50PC CARTRIDGES.)

Bought 6 packs... And I don't expect I'll have any issue, so I'll likely order more soon.
