I can't use the ink cartridge in my printer, so does the paper have the postcard stuff on it already or do you have to print that yourself?

If you mean the address lines and postage area (box) yes it does! :) Great product, beautiful prints.

In response, while I am not connected with Canon and don't have inside information, I know there are two versions of the paper available; KP-36IP and KP-108IP are the paper/ink cartridge kits that have the post card markings and KP-36IN and KP-108IN is the product code for paper without the post card markings. The packs with the postcard markings can be found on the internet, and may still be able to be ordered from the CANON USA store site. Laird

I have the printer Canon Selphy 780. I just attach the paper cartridge to it and either print from my camera or computer. The printer tells me when I have to replace the ink cartridge. Usually the cartridge will last for maybe 36 prints and then it tells me to replace it. Depends on how much color is on the picture. It is called postcard size or 4 X 6. If the ink cartridge doesn't fit make sure it lines up with the holes or maybe you got the wrong one. Check your instruction book for the correct size.I hope helps. Linda

The unit is a piece of garbage, junk, crap. Now to answer your question concerning the paper; it prints on photo paper and a few sheets are included with the unit. Buyer beware!!!

Yes, if you set it up properly. It will take any size paper. I even print envelopes with mine... greeting cards too. For my sister's birthday I put one of her watercolors on the front of the card. It will let you know if it's not set up right too. HAVE FUN! It's a great printer! (deb)

It would work fine, but the cost of ink would probably outweigh the benefit of the fast printing. Ink tanks are small. I would recommend you print postcards at: (cheap, fast, and good quality):http://www.psprint.com/affiliate/index.asp?offer=219&affiliate;=CD1751

First of all you are very lucky it is still working. There are faults on the PCB capacitors which make the printer constantly recycle. If you are using the photo paper pack with the cartridges then I was informed by a reliable source that there is just enough ink to print the paper pack included. Could this be the reason?

It's ready to use right out of the box. You just need paper and you may want to get extra ink (black and color). ENJOY!

It has the ink already. You just pop them into your printer and you're good to go.

This item that I have for sale is used and it does not come with ink. However, the printer cable is included and you normally don't get the cable when you purchase it new.

an image drum is different from actual ink cartridges, its likely you need ink in addition to the image drum

If you bought cartridges with photo paper the black cartridge in that package won't work unless you have the printer with the photo option.

I think it has to be an inkjet. That is what I have and it worked great. It turned out really good. I made sure I had new ink in before I printed it. It worked out great.

Just unpacking mine, believe that one black cartridge is for photo only, i.e. the small one that matches the color ones. Large one lower quality for general text use.Try double checking one of the computer mags on this....LPS my concern is that directions say standard computer paper only in front tray, back tray for quality photo paper. And that 4 x 6 is only photo size that works?????Any input appreciated, I M on hold now, its only unpacked....

Mine did not come with any ink. No starter or regular cartridges. On the box it says that it includes a black cartridge and a color cartridge, but there were no ink cartridges in the box. It uses PG-245 & PG-245XL (Black) and PG-246 & PG-246XL (Color) cartridges. Maybe some people got lucky and received ink with theirs, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. The cheapest ink cartridge you can get for it is the PG-245 Black ink cartridge and it's $16.99 here on Amazon.

Yes, the ink cartridge is already installed and the unit came with a small roll of paper. I recommend using the small roll for learning and testing then switch to a full roll before using.

Hey Barry, In my box, the paperwork says you can go to "www.kodak.com/go/printersettings&qu;ot; to get an up to date list of printers with complete printer setting details. I have a kodak printer myself and this is THE BEST paper I have ever found...it's almost like a postcard. The color quality is perfect.....In a pinch at our local store, I bought some HP Premium paper....was very disappointed.....Nothing compares to this Kodak paper I'm tellin' ya. Good luck. Hope this helps

When mine used to work correctly it used a sd card. It's about three years old and must have had the equivalent of a stroke. Soon it will be disposed of. Now, its down to printing, and copying only. I do not recommend this printer.
