Thanks for the clear and concise tutorial! Awesome!
Instablaster...
Thank you! Perfect. No unnecessary time consuming talking. All succinct and easily understood. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! I definitely try to keep the tutorials on point.
OMG Laura...WOW What a Spectacular Tutorial!!! You really have given the best tutorial for the Cannon on Selphy That I've ever watched....I do have it and haven't used yet any of the special features...but sure will now!! I do LOVE that paper as it definitely is indestructible as I've gotten adhesive on it...spilled coffee on it and you can't rip it you have to cut it with a sharp blade. I can't thank you enough for your Detailed tutorial for all the features...can't wait to play!! Also Outstanding Epson Picturemate printer tutorial and If at anytime i need another photo printer or want an additional photo printer I would get this one!! I truly hope that both the companies of these printers see your video because you do represent them Magnificently!!! Thanks for all you do and the way you do it!! YOU SO ROCK!!
Joan Smith
Thank you very much, Joan! You’re so right about the Canon Selphy paper, it’s awesome! I’ve wiped ink splatter right off of it. I think both printers are fantastic and provide great prints of you tweak them a bit!
A huge thank you for this great tutorial! I’m not terribly tech savvy and you totally demystified these little printers for me.
So glad it was useful, Gail! I'm always happy to help and the apps for these printers make it SO much easier!
Thank you so much for doing this video!!! Probably I will watch this several times.
Always happy to help, Mariann! I've had a lot of requests for printing tutorials and figured one big resource would be helpful!
Your video was so helpful. You're great at explaining the how to and comparisons.
So glad it was helpful, Jean! I've had a lot of questions about the printing processes and made a list so this would be a pretty thorough video.
Hi Laura, thank you so much for this tutorial! I got the picturemate for my bday and didn't know it had a whole other app to with it for doing the collages.
So glad this was useful! Always happy to help!
This is a fabulous video. You explained it so well. I can’t wait to get my Epson for Christmas. I have the selfie but only used it once. Now I can use my selfie too. Thank you. Thank you 😊
Always happy to help! This was requested by several people, so I figured one big resource would be easier to find than several separate videos.
This was so in-depth and useful! Thank you!
So glad it was useful! Always happy to help!
This video is an awesome resource. I shared it in the Love RTS group. Thank you for compiling this information. ❤️
Thank you, Cilla! I really appreciate that! I've had a lot of questions and figured one big video that covered everything would be helpful!
I just recently found your channel and so glad I did. I have the canon SELPHY and I really needed this tutorial! Thank you for the excellent overview.
So glad it was helpful! Welcome!
Thanks so much for the details on using the canon SELPHY! I have been struggling to find answers to my printing and editing questions and your video has helped! Thank you!
I’m so glad it was helpful, Amy! I get a lot of questions on my printers and figured a one stop video would be useful!
Thank you for a very comprehensive tutorial, that so useful!
So glad it was useful! Always happy to help!
Excellent comparison video. Thank you so much for putting this together. 🥰
Always happy to help! I've had a lot of requests for this one and made sure to answer as many questions as possible!
Thanks so much for this great tutorial. I was so confused with the 2 apps and which one to use but you have made it clear.
So glad it was helpful, Kerry! It can definitely be a bit confusing at first.
This was so helpful - thanks, Laura!
You're quite welcome! Always happy to help!
Thanks for the tutorial. I have both of these printers. I was not using the on line app for my Selphy but I will now.
Very welcome! I've had a lot of questions about these two printers and figured I'd do a big all in one resource video.
Thank you!!! I have the Selphy but have been thinking about getting the Epson.
They are both great machines and you can get good prints from both. The Epson is more economical in the long run because it's cheaper per print and has a slightly better quality, but the Canon is cheaper on the front end and the paper is more durable.
Great tutorial. I just got the picture mate and I had no clue how to change the picture sizes. This was very much needed.
So glad it was useful, Shannon! Always happy to help! The app is awesome, there are so many cool features!
Thank you! Such a great compare and contrast video. Very good information.
You're quite welcome! Always happy to help!
I have a Selphy and STILL learned something! This was great! Thanks.
So glad it was useful! I'm always happy to help!
I received the Canon selpy as a Christmas present and this tutorial is just what I needed, told me everything I needed to know. Thank you. Awesome as usual 😁👍
So glad it was helpful, Helen! I love the Selphy!
Very thorough!, thank you! I’m still confused at which would be best but I do see where they both have a good purpose!
Glad it was helpful, Shelli! Let me break it down: Canon is around $100 up front, but the prints are more expensive over time. The prints are heartier though and can handle a wipe down if splatter gets on them. Epson is over $300 up front, but the prints are much cheaper over time. However, the Epson prints do not wipe down, they are like typical prints.
I have had my selphy for years and had no idea it could do all the stuff you explained. It's a whole new ball game now!! thanks!!
You're quite welcome! I'm always happy to help!
Yeeesss I needed this. Wanting to get a photo printer and this is helping me decide. Thanks!!
So glad it was helpful! Honestly, both printers are great! The Selphy has a cheaper up front cost and the Picturemate has a cheaper per print cost, if that helps!
Thanks so much Laura! I just got a PM 400 and this video is perfectly timed for me. My prints are a little dark so now I know have apps that can help.
You're quite welcome, Betsy! So glad it's helpful!
I appreciate you doing this. I've been wanting to add Memory Planning to my memory keeping repertoire, but wasn't sure how to size my pictures smaller without going out to a photo center somewhere.
I'm always happy to help! I get a lot of questions about these printers and I figured creating one big resource to find answers for everyone would be useful!
Great tutorial and idaes. Thank you, Laura.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome tutorial! I've only used my Selphy with 'basic' settings. You've given me the confidence to be more adventurous. Thank you.
So glad it was helpful! I find these little printers are capable of so much more than you might think.
Thank you 😊 for another great video. I will be referring back to this video.
This was such a helpful video. Thank you so much!
So glad it was helpful, Heather. I had a lot of requests for this one and was happy to help.
I’ve had the PM 400 for years and have never used the Creative Print. Thanks so much for the great tutorial!!
Always happy to help! Figuring out these apps has made printing so much easier for me and more fun!
Thanks so much for this video, it helps me out a lot!
You're welcome! Always happy to help!
The best video tutorial for the Canon Selphy printer! Thank you so much.
So glad it was helpful!
This tutorial is by far the best Canon Selphy printer I have seen... THANK YOU!!
I’m so glad it was helpful! I tried to include as much information as possible.
This was a really helpful video! Thank you!
Always happy to help, glad it was useful! I tried to create an all-in-one resource that would be easy to follow.
Thanks! This was such a wonderful tutorial!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Your tutorials are SO concise and clear! I have a SELPHY and really like it. I have also considered purchasing the Eason PM. I came across this video when I did a search for comparisons. However what I loved the most, is that I also learned how to use features which I was unaware existed in apps I have used for a long time!! Thank you sincerely, I am most appreciative!!
So glad it was helpful, Sandi! I try very hard to be concise and clear. I really love the Epson for most photos, but the Selphy is brilliant for out of pocket projects!
Me too. I have a SELPHY and was considering the Epson. But I have Epson regular printers already so probably won’t get. But this video is super helpful!! Thank you!
I just heard about these little photo printers, so cool! Thanks for all your info! I think I am going to get a Selphy.
So glad it was helpful! I really enjoy both of them and use them constantly!
@@lauraalbertscrafts Just getting back into scrapbooking (I am a card maker) so thought it would be so handy! Thanks for the video! It was great!
Thank you, I have the Epson so I learned a lot!
So glad it was helpful, Carol! This one was highly requested!
Brilliant. Loads of information. Thank you xx
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I first purchased the Selphy and just couldn't figure it out. With huge recommendations from Janet at RTS, I bought the Epson. I was never able to set up the WiFi with either one. Will have to work on that. Love the way you showed how to edit in the apps. Now to find a program that is easy to use for the computer for my photos from my camera! This was a wonderful video and I learned alot. Thank you, thank you!
Glad I could help, Anne! I agree, the Epson is a fantastic printer. Setting up the wifi can be tricky, but it will make your printing process a lot easier.
This is so helpful. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Great comparisons and explanations. You even answered several questions that I had in mind. I’m convinced I want the Epson with Ultra premium paper. I’ll even try a few of the apps. Hopefully they will be mostly free or minimal cost. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Robin! I agree with your assessment. Using the Epson/ultra combo has given me better prints than any of the shops around me. I love it!
Now I need a printer! I have been thinking about it for years, but now you have really made me want to buy the Epson. Appreciate all the details you provided, it means a lot coming from another scrappy minded person 😍😁
You're quite welcome! I hope this was helpful for you! Both are great printers, so it largely depends on how much you can spend on the front end and what your needs are from your photos.
I recently got a photo printer. Soooooo much to learn!
They are great tools to have! I really enjoy mine, but it does take a little practice!
Great tutorial! Super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very informative, thank you.
Always happy to help!
Thank you for this helpful video.
So glad it was helpful! Always happy to help.
I have both printers and do prefer my PM. I like the true 4 x 6. They are both good options for a scrapbooker. Great video for the beginner.
Agreed! I think the PM is better for regular scrapping and the prints are definitely cheaper than the Selphy. However, the Selphy prints are better for mini albums and out of the pocket scrapping because they don't show finger prints and clean off easily. Glad it was helpful!
Omg best video I have the selphy for 2 years and now I learned so much about it
So glad it was helpful! I'm a big fan of the Selphy!
Totally missed the 2nd app for Selphy- for over a year frustrated couldn't collage within the app- duh. So glad for your tutorial
So glad it was useful! Yes, that second app makes a huge difference in what you can do with the Selphy!
Which version of SELPHY print app do you have. I have and IPhone8 and do not see options at the bottom of the screen. I have version 2.8.4 and no other updates are available. Love your explanations. Great teaching tool
Super informative video!! Thanks so much for spending the time to go over everything. I took so many notes and re-watched parts over and over. Do you know about how many photos on average you can print on the Epson before you have to change out the ink cartridge?
So glad it was helpful! I get a lot of photos out of the Epson ink cartridge, at least 100 prints, I believe, but sometimes more. It's definitely more economical per print than the Selphy, though you do spend more on the printer itself.
Nice, thanks! Was thinking about getting a Selphy for my desk and quick prints. but I use a Cannon pixma that is great for regular prints , I can print 12x12 👍🏻
I’m glad this was helpful! I’ve had a lot of questions about my printing process and figured one big video that covered everything would be useful!
Hi, I'm just wondering what canon pixma you use? I'm trying to find a good printer for larger photos
@@Hey123221 ix6820
Best video ever great timing thank you
So glad it was helpful, Ruthy! This one was highly requested.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m trying to decide between these 2 photo printers. This was very helpful, plus you showed me more features than I was aware of. I’m leaning with the Epson, as I like that I can use differ brands of photo paper. The other apps you showed are useful too. I’m not very tech savvy but all of these things look doable. I’m glad I found your channel. You explain things very well, in a to the the point way.
So glad it was helpful! I have had a lot of questions about the differences between them, so I made a list and used that as a guide for the tutorial. They are both brilliant printers and I use both often, definitely either will serve you well!
Hi Laura, thank you for all the tips on these printers and how to get the most use out of them!!! Can you tell me if when you print the two 3x4's on one 4x6 with borders, will the 3x4's fit properly in a Project Life 3x4 pocket? Thank you.
With the Epson Picturemate, yes. With the Canon Selphy, no. The Selphy prints post card size which is slightly smaller than 4x6.
Thank you so much for taking time to create this video. It was extremely informative and helpful. I was wondering in what scenario(s) do you choose to print using the Canon Selphy over the Epson Picturemate 400?
You're quite welcome, I'm always happy to help! I use the Canon for mini albums, December Daily, or any out of the pocket project that is going to be handled. The prints just hold up much better to being touched and flipped through. I used the Epson for most of my printing as the actual picture quality is clearer and sharper (plus the per print cost is lower).
Hi Laura. Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful! Do you know a trick to print 4x4 photos on the selphy?
You're quite welcome, always happy to help! Yes! When you open the Selphy App, go to "Selphy Photo Layout," then "Select & Print." Add your photo, it will show your photo zoomed in, so click on the photo and select "Trim" at the bottom. Using two fingers slide in to each other to minimize the photo back to it's original size within the print area. This will print with a white border at the top and bottom, but the photo will be a square.
Thank you so mich for replying! I tried this but when I add a pocture it doesn't show it zoomed in to begin with.... I guess I will keep playing around with it. Thanks again!!
Love your videos! Could you tell me how to get the Epson Create software to install in my laptop. I can’t wait to try so many things
Epson Create is a mobile app, I don't think you can install it on a laptop. I was able to load it onto my tablet though.
Great video. I have both and this is very helpful. Perhaps you could update to discuss how Selphy has to become it’s own Wi-Fi since the most recent update and will not work with your home Wi-Fi. So annoying.
Glad it was helpful. I'm not sure about that update, my Selphy works with my home wifi still. I'll have to look into it.
Thanks for sharing. I bought the Epson PM400 in late December and love it. I agree the paper makes a huge difference. I have some old Kodak ultra photo paper but because it’s probably 10 years old did not print well. I’ve been using the Staples ultra premium photo paper in matte or satin and the photos look fantastic. P. S. I hope you’ve repaired or replaced your power cord, that could be a fire hazard.
Agreed, the paper makes a big difference! No worries, I did. This one has definitely had it!
I just got a Selphy and this was super helpful! Have you ever tried using the other sized paper like square, 2.1 x 3.4, or 3.5 x 4.7 that canon sells for it?
Glad it was helpful! No, I haven’t tried the smaller paper sizes because I largely use the collage feature for smaller photos as it’s more economical.
Fantastic video and extremely informative without boring people! I just picked up a pm 400 today and I’m curios to ask if you’re able to print from a laptop and if so how you do it? I have the app on my phone and zero issues printing from it, but when I try to print from the laptop (MacBook) it doesn’t print out properly and prints like half the photo somewhere in the middle of the paper.
Glad it was helpful! I've been able to print from my PC, but I had to download a driver, I believe. Definitely check out the Epson website and see if there is an app or driver you can download to your Mac. That should fix the problem.
Wow! Very helpful! I have the PictureMate and had no idea there was higher quality paper and I didn’t know some of the things the app does! Such as adding borders! I have the PicTapGo app, but have never used it! Ha! I think Becky Huggins recommended years ago? I had no idea how much editing it can do! I’m going to compare it to some presets I bought and downloaded into my Photoshop app!
So glad it was helpful! I wanted to have a video that was a full reference so I could answer as many questions as possible, I think this works!
Thanks for this video!
You're quite welcome! I'm always happy to help!
Wonderful video! So appreciate all of the information. Can I ask where you purchase the ink for the Epson 400? Do you purchase the refills for it? TFS 🤗
Thank you very much, Dawna! I purchase the ink on Amazon, they seem to have the best price I've found. For the Picturemate, it's Epson 320 ink, hope that helps!
Hi Laura, Thanks for a great video. I have a question for you. If you wanted to connect your ipad or phone hard wired to printer (wifi is not great at the scrapbook house I go to), what would you use? I tried using a usb key directly and it wasn't so great. I'd like to connect direct. Thank you! Angela
Hi Angela. I have never hard wire connected to either printer, but both appear to have a port to do that. However, I can't give you tips on using it as I don't think I have the cord that will match my iphone and the printer.
Thank you, Laura. This was great. I have the Epsom PM 400. I’ll be checking out those apps. I’ll probably watch that part again. Another question: do you send photos to be printed elsewhere? Any recommendations? I’ve tried, but it always is very complicated, or not successful. Any suggestions for a simple site? I do so appreciate your help!
You're welcome, Susan! Always happy to help! Yes, I send them to Persnickity Prints because I really like the print quality I get from them. I always make sure to do all my photo editing (including making sure my photos are cropped to the sizes I want them to be) is done ahead of time so I can just upload the whole file of photos at once. It makes for extra effort on the front end, but the ease of use on the site is so worth it to me. I have used Snapfish and Shutterfly in the past and they are okay, about the same quality as the pharmacy or Walmart.
hi, love your video, very informative, just wanted to know what version IPAD you use? I am thinking of getting one. thanks
I have the IPAD Air, it's a few years old and I really like it!
Thank you, Laura...great tutorial.
I have both of these printers & haven’t hardly used them. Guess I better get going. I didn’t realize that the Eason had so many options! Am I right that neither of these printers will take a “flash drive?”
Glad it was helpful! That's correct, I don't see any sort of flash drive port on either of them, you can hook them directly into your computer however.
I really appreciate you doing this video, very informative. I do have one question, do either printers have an option to place a watermark text or text and logo? Or would I have to get different software photo app? Thank you for sharing!
Both offer the option of adding text, but I don't believe you could do a logo or watermark per se. It only allows one image per spot in the collage.
Thank you for letting me know!
Great tutorial. I did not know there was a different app to use with the Epson for collages either and have been really struggling trying to print pics for pocket scrapbooking. I learned so much from you. Thank you again for taking time to put this video together.
I'm so glad it was useful! Always happy to help! Yes, the apps make it so much easier.
Thank you soo much for making this video. I want a photo printer outside of my every day printer. I have been on the bench of which one to get. I love that the Epson Picturemate and everything it offers. I like to be able to print a 5x7 because sometimes you just need one that big. The software seem simple to use as well. Can you give me an idea of the cost for paper and ink refills? I belong to HP ink for discounts for my larger printer.
For ink and paper, it's around $42/100 prints. I find that the ink lasts a really long time.
Hi ty for this tutorial. I'm wondering which one I should ask for for Christmas. I'm a big scrapbooker. The Epson PictureMate any idea if the photos will last 100 year like the Selphy does and are the pictures waterproof and finger print safe like the Selphy?
Very Helpful. I've been trying to decide what to get to print with. I have an Android phone. Was wondering if you had and Android or phone. DO you think it would work with either??
I’m not sure about Androids, I have an iPhone and it works great! I would check the android store to see if there are apps for these printers.
@@lauraalbertscrafts Thank you.
Great informative video!! I only use matte finish....have you used matte on either of these printers? Or is matte finish even available for either printer? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!!
Glad it was useful, Teri! Always happy to help! I prefer glossy prints, so I have not used matte paper with either. I know the Epson Picturemate has matte paper options, but to my knowledge, the Selphy does not. The way the Selphy works, I don't think matte paper would take the pigment.
@@lauraalbertscrafts Thank you!!!!
Great tutorial. I've watched it several times. When I try to edit my photos on the Selphy app I get this message: "Image editing function is not available for the selected printer". Any ideas of what's going on? I'm using the the Selphy app for iPhone.
I have never seen that message! I would recommend deleting the app and redownloading it. May need an update or something.
hi do you get any crop on your 4x6 epson? my canon selphy gets a crop because of the break off edges which is annoying. Thanks
Nope! I know what you mean with the Selphy. That’s one reason I normally print my Selphy photos with a border.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I just got a selphy and now I know how to use it :-)
I’m so glad it was helpful! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about printing and figured having one big resource would be useful!
Thanks so much
You're welcome! Always happy to help!
Thank you for this! I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I am on my third canon SELPHY! The ink cartridge keeps getting jammed after about a year and I can't get it out without taking the whole printer apart which is extremely difficult :(
Glad it was helpful! I've never had that happen! Oh my goodness. I don't know how to fix that.
Thank you. I thought I could print a collage with the PM-400 using my laptop. I haven’t been able to figure that out. I can only figure out how to print a single 4x6. Is it possible? Thank you.
I have not found a way to do that myself. I have to use the app on my phone to collage.
@@lauraalbertscrafts thank you. So disappointing. That’s the reason I purchased the printer. My photos aren’t on my phone.
I was looking for the battery pack. Info for cordless power. That what I'm trying to see. More Info.
Hi Claudia, I don't have the battery pack for the Selphy. I can't speak to how well that feature works.
Please disregard my previous message. I figured it out. But one more question. Where do I set 4x6 paper size? on the APP or on the printer?
The Selphy only prints one paper size. You can collage smaller prints on one sheet, but it only has one size of paper.
Can you use this off your hotspot from your phone? Say I wanted to take pictures of people in the streets can I print on the go?
Also is there a way to edit the photos before you print them from Lightroom?
I believe they both require WiFi connections specifically. I do edit my photos on my phone before printing using Pic Tap Go. I have never been able to get them to print from my PC.
@@lauraalbertscrafts thanks for getting back to me. I just read on the website that you don’t need a access point iPhone can connect wirelessly to the printer. I’m thinking since you can use light room on your phone it may be possible. Hopefully that’s what it means with no access point.
It doesn’t appear that either 3x4 collage option doubles the border in between the two photos. When cutting them apart it looks like the borders wouldn’t match then. Is that the case? If so, how do you combat that?
No, it just increases the outside border. I trim down my borders all the way around until they match. I like a thin border anyway. I hope that makes sense!
I did as you said with my iPhone and my photos are cut off...any thoughts?
Are you using the Canon Selphy or the Epson Picturemate? With either, make sure that the screen shows exactly what you want printed before hitting print. Sometimes, either app will auto adjust to fit the print size, especially if you're adding borders.
Laura, can you tell the model and make of the picture mate? I’m not sure if I will bite the bullet and buy the printer but I am making scrapbook pages of the 5th graders in my daughter’s school and printing their pictures on snapfish are getting to be costly. A 5x7 collage of 2 pics (one Kindergarten & one 5th grade) is 99 cents. I had 50% off but had to pay for shipping & it came back to the same price. Not sure I want to land up spending $100 in total for printing.
Sure! I have an Epson Picturemate PM-400. I definitely think it's cheaper in the long run per print.
Are these Epson PM 400 different. They look the same except for the price?
Sorry. I couldn’t add the photos. Amazon sells 2 epson pm 400 that are different prices . One is 226 vs 429 . They look like same to me. What do you think?
It appears that the $400 one is the new model released in June of this year. The $200 one was released in 2015. That’s not to say the cheaper one was made in 2015, it’s probably new too. It’s just the older design, but honestly they look the same to me.
How many prints you get from the epson cartridge
Depends on how high you set the quality print setting, but I set it to the highest and get about 100 from each cartridge.
Hi I just got the Epson 400 for Christmas and am trying to find the pic tap go app with no luck. Can you send me the link please
It is available on most cell phones in the App Store as PicTapGo (all one word).
I think it is just for the iPhone i have an android unfortunately 😕
@@jopicker7568 I have it on a android phone 😊
@@SuperHeidi76 i will look again for the pic tap go app ty
Are there any 5x7 collages.
Good question! Yes, you cans do collages on 5x7 paper in the Epson Creative App for the Picturemate. The Canon Selphy does not print 5x7.
Is the Epson better at printing black and white? I suspect it might be since it has black ink, while the Canon has only yellow, cyan, and magenta.
Yes. I think Epson does a much better job with black and white. The Canon Selphy can print black and white, but it's not as crisp.
@@lauraalbertscrafts This is important to me as I shoot mostly B&W. It is a bonus that the Epson also offers a larger size print size. I wonder if you find the Canon or the Epson to be more expensive to print from?
I keep getting an error on the picture mate when I try to print a picture. It says "Paper out load paper' but it HAS paper. It runs the paper like halfway and then gives me this error. Any advice?
I've gotten this one too. I find unplugging it and then plugging it back in helps reset it.
Have you ever printed on a transparency on the Epson? I saw it as a brief share once on TH-cam with no detail on how, and when I tried it was a mess 🤦🤷♀️
I have tried it once and it didn't work well. Not sure if there's a special setting I'm unaware of or if the person meant a different printer.
Which one is you favorite printer
Overall, I prefer the Epson Picturemate, but for out of page protector projects, I prefer the Canon Selphy.
I feel like you guys are missing the other half of what a lot of people want to know is what is affordable too on the ink and paper printing situation
I do mention price comparison in my video. The cost of the printers is very different. The Selphy is cheaper, but the prints are more expensive. The Picturemate is more expensive up front, but the prints are cheaper. What is affordable is a subjective question. That means different things to different people. Printing at home will always be more expensive up front to buy the machine, but is usually economical in the long term, regardless of which machine you purchase.
I am sorry I must of missed it.. my mistake
