We take many more photos in this digital age, but most of them end up languishing in our hard drives. Enter the SELPHY QX20, designed to rescue your images from digital purgatory! Here’s how and why it’s going to enrich your life.

 

1. Convenient printing anywhere, any time

We know that deep down, you really want physical copies of your photos but somehow, the stars were never aligned. Perhaps the nearest print shop always seemed out of the way, or you always thought printing images involved more hours sitting at the computer and couldn’t find the time.

Convenient and portable, the handy little SELPHY QX20 simplifies the entire process. Once it’s paired with your smartphone, you can create beautiful sticker paper prints of your images in just 3 steps and print them in just 40 seconds*. And because it’s small and light enough to carry around in your everyday bag, you don’t have to wait till you get home.

*Measuring criteria: Room temperature (23°C) from start of printing until paper ejection is completed.

The tiny, portable SELPHY QX20 lets you decorate and print images from your smartphone anywhere, anytime, whether you’re chilling in a café or your cosy corner at home.

 

The SELPHY QX20 supports two sticker label formats:

- XS-20L: 72 x 85mm square sticker label (the same as the SELPHY Square QX10)
- XC-20L: 54 x 86mm business card-sized sticker label

 

2. Seeing your favourite pictures in print makes you happier

You can print to store in an album or scrapbook, of course, but why not have a little more fun?  Display them prominently so they’ll brighten your day whenever you see them, or gift them and brighten up someone else’s! Peg your prints up on a board, do a collage, decorate your belongings, or put your own spin on home organisation. The possibilities are endless.

Need a digital content detox? Go analogue with a flip book that transforms stills into moving pictures.

Create a heartfelt gift literally filled with memories. No glue is needed: simply peel away the backing to paste the photos wherever you want.

*The image is for illustration purposes only and is not a photograph of the actual output.

You can even use the prints to mark drinks at your next party. Their water-resistant coating (See point 4) ensures they won’t bleed even if it rains or if you touch them with wet hands.

 

3. Clear, vivid, high-quality images with beautiful colour

Seeing your pictures brought to life with the SELPHY QX20 is delightful for another reason: the beautiful, high-quality printing with vivid colours, clear details, and seamless gradations faithful to what you shot.

That’s because of the amazing dye-sublimation thermal transfer printing technology, which vaporises ink with heat to print. Different shades are achieved by adjusting the temperature: as many as 256 shades of colour can be expressed in just one ink dot, banishing graininess. A new sharpness processing feature makes eyes, hair, and other fine details clearer and truer to life than before.

 

4. The prints stay beautiful for a long, long time

Digital storage formats come and go (who remembers floppy disks and CDs?), but the beauty of the SELPHY QX20’s prints will last for generations. Thanks to a special protective laminate that protects the image against water, dirt, colour bleeding, and fading, each print can last 100 years when stored in an album*, preserving stories for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

*Album storability predicted value calculated based on the indoor thermal stability test method and durability criteria for the Digital Color Photo Print Stability Evaluation (JEITA CP-3901) issued by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). Lifetime determination criteria; Stored in an album at 23°C and 50% humidity.

 

5. You can easily unleash your creative side

Not the best at photo craft? You can still get artsy by decorating your photo prints with the SELPHY Photo Layout Ver. 4.0 app. Besides the text and drawing options, there are:

- 35 stamps
- 25 frames
- 6 or 7 overlays (on square and card-sized paper respectively)

Combine them to unleash your artistic side and make your own creations! An updated collage interface allows you to easily adjust the layout, swap images, and even change their orientation. Decorated images can be saved and shared*: you or your friends can print duplicates even on other SELPHY printers. It’s like having a mini photo booth in your hands!

USB-C charging supported

Had so much fun printing that your batteries are running flat? The SELPHY QX20 charges in approximately 80 minutes—a whopping 40 minutes faster than the SELPHY Square QX10. It’s barely possible to binge-watch a drama while you’re waiting.

*Overlay patterns will not be recorded in images.
