Should you print your work on the go? Canon Selphy QX20 review

Your photos deserve better than living in the camera roll. In this hands-on review we put the Canon Selphy QX20 through a real phone-to-print test and show why a tiny dye-sub printer can be the quickest way to turn moments into keepsakes. We cover the three colour options (white, grey, red), the two print formats (credit-card and square), and why physical prints hit differently—especially when you use the sticker-backed paper for scrapbooks, journals and gifts. Setup is genuinely simple: load the paper, click in the cartridge, power on. We connect the Selphy app, add a border and caption, do a couple of quick edits (including a black-and-white pass), then hit print. You’ll see the full dye-sublimation process in real time and the final result: rich colour, smooth skin tones, and a dry-to-touch finish in around 40 seconds. We also talk through what makes dye-sub prints durable—water resistance, fade protection, and those clean gradients that make skies and skin look great. Then we print a second image to show how easy it is to tweak exposure and contrast on the spot before sending it to the QX20. If you want something portable, wireless and dead-simple that produces lab-like results, this is it. Questions about paper types or compatibility? Drop them in the comments and we’ll help you choose the right setup! 00:00 Intro: Wireless printing made easy (Selphy QX20) 00:19 Print sizes explained (card + square) 00:30 Why physical prints matter (and sticker prints for scrapbooks) 00:52 Setup walkthrough (paper tray + ink cartridge) 01:22 Real-time demo: take a photo + connect in the Selphy app 01:41 Add border + caption, then print (first print demo) 02:17 Print tech + durability (dye-sub, vibrant colour, water resistance, longevity) 02:41 Print quality check + Polaroid comparison (contrast, ready instantly) 03:12 App editing demo (brightness/contrast + black & white filter) 04:20 Water resistance + sticker-backed paper demo (peel and stick) 05:05 Final thoughts Follow us on Instagram:   / georgescameras   Like us on Facebook:   / georges387   Check out our events on Humanitix: https://events.humanitix.com/host/geo...
