My husband rec'd the selphy photo printer free from his company. It wasn't one I would pick for myself and this is the reason right here. You can't use any other printer fluid and the printer fluid and paper come in a package together. I'm sure the print fluid is in this somewhere but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. It's some kind of weird figure 8 cartridge with some filmy plastic between it that distributes the print fluid. It prints exactly the amount that it says it does. exactly. But, at least you know you have the ink and the paper at the same time. amazon always has the right price too.
