“Hello, I'm clueless when it comes to printers and ink and the whole thing. So im hoping you can help me out. If I buy the printer, what ink cartridge does it need? Does it need an ink cartridge and paper, or is the ink on the paper?”

The Canon Selphy 1300CP uses the specific thermal dye-sublimation ink along with the custom thermal paper that is made for this printer. This is not an ink-jet or laser printer. The thermal dye-sublimation ink made for this printer is a dry ink on a tape inside the cartridge. The print process transfers the ink to the paper using a thermal process that instanly heats the ink directly to a gas stage and transfers directly to the special paper as a gas, which then "dries" or sets instantly. Once finished printing, the ink on the photo paper comes out "dry" because the process does not involve any wet ink process. The ink is not on the paper, the ink is on the cartrdige. However, you must use the special paper made for this printer in order for the print process to work correctly. This printer does not work with "regular" paper or cardstock.
