Keeping Canon Selphy Printing Glitches At Bay

Nine months ago I bought a Canon Selphy CP1300 photo printer. Printed some photos when I first received it and I was happy with how the photos came out. Superb print quality. The best part, I bought it at an unbeatable price because of the Lazada 11.11 sale. Essentially after all the discounts, I got the photo paper and cartridge for free. In case you didn't know, no paper or cartridge is included with the printer, unless it is a bundled deal.

3 coloured dots - Canon Selphy printing glitch

Some 2 weeks later, I printed some photos again. Not sure why, but this time there was a glitch on the first print. Three coloured dots on the output that were not in the original JPEG image (see picture above). I was disappointed obviously. Subsequent prints however went perfectly. A big sigh of relief. Thank god.

But what went wrong on the first print?
