Canon KC-18IF Ink Label Set, Compatiable to CP740,CP730,CP720,CP710,CP600,CP510 and CP400

What's not to love about tiny Photos that you can peel and stick? Kind of an odd product until you get one in your hands and start seeing all the possibilities. Make labels that are visual, for kids to organize things, or for people with bad eyes to quickly identify locations for organization... stuff like that. The possibilities are endless in my estimation. I could see using it to locate parts in a business that uses a lot of smaller parts that need to be stored in enclosures to prevent damage or dust intrusion. My wife on the other hand, found she could just stick them on the toys that belong to which kid, by sticking their picture to each toy, and for making a few really cool Christmas present labels. Your call what you do with 'em... but thier pretty cool.

These labels designed for the Canon Selphy printer are smear-resistant, glossy, and hold bright, sharp images. Many people use them for stickable photo prints -- but I use them to make durable color stickers fo customizing LEGO bricks and minifigures. With the Canon Selphy and these stickers I can do a lot of good-looking customization, printing directly from iDraw on the iPad to the Selphy. I can get a couple of sets of minifig stickers on a single sheet, which makes them vey cost effective for one-off custom labels.

These are perfect for my memory book that I like to make. The size 2 x 3 is like a business card size and it is easy with the peel off back and stick feature. I simply stick the picture where I want it on the paper in my journal and then write about the experience or event. I love it!

The biggest problem with this dye-sub paper/ink set is actually finding it in stock! For some reason, it's VERY popular and constantly in low or out of stock, or Canon simply doesn't make enough. For me, as a pro photographer, the best aspects of the KC-18IF is both the size (approx 2x3) and the adhesive back. In the days of film, I went through a ton of Polaroid for test shots, as well as for use on my tech sheet to keep track of the shots I had done already on a catalog, editorial or advertising shoot. Now, I no longer use these as "test shots" (that's what the LCD or tethered computer is for), but still use it for my tech sheet and to give a copy to my AD on the shoot. My tech or I will take a CF card and print it through our little Celphy printer. So, here it is: the digital Polaroid.

I love these. They worked great with my canon selphy cp1200 and are perfect for my travel journal. The pictures are nice and glossy and thin and the adhesive is pretty strong. I will definitely be rebuying this in the future

if you don't have the cassette tray, make sure that you buy a kit first. I read a lot of reviews and thought this would be great for my christmas cards this winter but was unable to use these. They're currently sitting on my staircase, because I don't have a reason to buy the cassette until next years cards possibly. I like the convenience and printing method from the canon selphy line, so I assume that this would be just as good as everything else, however, for the price, it would be nice if canon would stop nickel and diming customers on a piece of plastic that they make sure is necessary to have in order to use their product. I tried with my normal tray, and got a cassette error. Best bet would be to find a kit with the tray and the label/ink cartridge if you don't have it already.

I love the canon printer system and the paper/ink cartridges package. So easy to you- great prints.

Several things to note:1) These aren't that sticky, so if you're not going to stick them on paper, they'll probably fall off extremely quickly. I was going to use them to stick pictures on my journals and maybe a few plastic bins, but given their adhesive, they'll probably fall off paper also. So much for 'label stickers'. Seriously, Canon? You charge probably 10x the markup to make these and you can't even figure out the adhesive? Fire your materials engineers.2) You cannot print card size on your Canon Selphy without have to buy the card size cassette for these. Which, while annoying that you have to buy a separate add-on, wouldn't be as big deal if they hadn't been out of stock for nearly a year, from the Canon site to Amazon, since I bought my Canon Selphy. This is not a 'supply chain' issue when the normal size, made of the same material, is always available to come with the printer. They just recently came back in stock but it's ridiculous that it was out for that long given that it's necessary for one of its core features: printing.3) These come with a separate ink cartridge labeled 'Card Size". It's the same exact cartridge size as the full size ink cartridge and has the same ink. But if you don't put THIS ink cartridge with the card size cassette, the printer throws a hissyfit. Why?? Is that necessary?? Ink is freaking ink! Someday, when I'm bored enough (probably when another pandemic happens and I'm shunted up at home) I'm going to find a way to have this dumb printer run custom firmware (and play Doom on it) so I never have to deal with this again.Am I annoyed? Yes. Is it maybe slightly irrational? No! Because the user experience, from buying the card-size cassette to the ink cartridge to printing (did I mention that their recommended workflow is to have the user install two apps on their phone? And if I print from OSX with the custom size of 3.4 x 2.1, the card size, the printer doesn't like it or recognize it?) is completely god awful, especially given how marked up these flaccid, non-sticky sheets are. Just because the target audience for this printer is for people who like to journal and, idk, print wedding photos and home labels, it doesn't justify a crappy product. Get it together, Canon.
