Which one should you buy?

For most people a compact phone printer is the right buy, and the Canon SELPHY CP1500 at around 199 dollars is the best value, using dye-sublimation to produce near lab-quality 4x6 prints that resist water and smudges. Buy the Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer 1S at 89 dollars if you just want the cheapest way to print 2x3 photos from your phone, the Liene Pearl K100 at 119 dollars if you want a pocketable sticker printer with a big review base and 50 sheets in the box, or the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link3 at 134 dollars if you specifically want the fun, social Instax instant-film look. The HP Sprocket at 140 dollars is the most-reviewed ZINK zero-ink option with no cartridges to buy. Step up to the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 at 398 dollars only if you want the best outright quality, borderless prints up to A3, and a scanner and copier built in. The single best value, though, is the Canon SELPHY.
