Polaroid Mini Printer App

My previous Zink printer was the Polaroid ZIP printer.  It was a fine printer that was involved in many fun memories and moments.  However, the connection to a smartphone could be finicky at times and it kind of killed the spontaneity of wanting to get printouts fast while in the moment.  Plus, the app made it quite difficult to predict the color output of the photos.  This Canon camera printer solved all that.  It too can be paired with a smartphone to act as a printer.  However, the app is much better than the Polaroid one.  The other benefit is this can act as a standalone camera/printer.  It has a framing box (both in the front of the camera for selfies and in the viewfinder) so its easier to frame what you want to take a picture of.  It does have LEDs to light up subjects.  I do find the shutter button to be a little too easy to take photos.  A couple times, I accidentally took a photo even when I was just grabbing the camera or giving it to someone.  Battery life is much better than my Polaroid was.  However, I did notice at a party when I wanted to print a bunch of printers, the Canon did require a cooling period sooner than the Polaroid when I was printing a lot of pics (though this may be because the Canon app makes it more convenient to print photos faster while I had to prep photos in the Polaroid app).  White balance can be an issue with using the Canon as a standalone camera with pictures leaning toward being very cool (though to be fair, some of my testing was in an office with bad fluorescent lighting).  So if you want more precise colors, use it as a printer with a smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with my family having a Polaroid camera. This printer makes me feel so nostalgic. I love that I can instantly print pictures from my phone. My 4 and 5 year old also love it. This printer is really easy to set up. All you have to do is download the app. The app is really user friendly and helps to set everything up. I also love that the printer is rechargeable and doesn’t require batteries. When the picture initially prints out, it takes up to 1 minute for the photo to start developing. Once it starts developing it takes about 10 minutes for it to fully develop. I love this printer. It’s the modern version of a Polaroid camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the original Canon IVY Mini Photo Printer a lot and this second generation is even better! It is not only very portable and even lighter, but also it is less slippery because of the upgraded plastic cover that is not glossy anymore and has textured bottom cover. It also got even smaller in size than before and now even smaller than any of our phones! Canon IVY 2 Mini Photo Printer comes with USB-C charging cable and 10 sheets of sticky back photo paper. Keep in mind that you will have to supply your own charging block for the cable, but if you have it already for any of your phones then you will have no problem just charging it with that. The battery on the new generation printer is much better also, holds longer and charges even faster. The printing times are also faster now and the quality of images is just as good as before. The set up and installation were super easy and fast, simply turn on, connect and add via Bluetooth the printer to the Canon Mini Print app. The app is user friendly and straightforward to use. The app is also a full photo editor so you can do all kinds of effects and manipulations with your photos before printing them out. It still needs no ink and paper comes in different shapes and has a sticky back so you can stick it on any surface you want and personalize a lot of items with your pictures. Great idea for a gift not only the printer itself, but also any items you can personalize with the printed images coming out of that printer. Perfect for the Holiday season!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mini photo printer is so cute! It was very easy to set up and connect to my phone with the app. The app lets you customize the prints with frames, filters, and stickers. I printed out the cutest picture stickers with my daughter to decorate her binder. This mini photo printer would make a great gift!

This is a review for the Epson Expression Home XP-4200 Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I tested the Epson XP-4200 with an iPhone 13 Pro, an iPhone 12 mini, an iPad mini 6, an iPad mini 4, and a MacBook Air M2. I was not able to set up the printer using the Epson Smart Panel app as this model was not recognized . . . but, following the app instructions for a Manual Setup was a breeze. Instructions were clear, and the setup proceeded quickly and smoothly. Using the Smart Panel app, I was easily able to print, copy and scan documents from each mobile device. The printer responded quickly and performed each task well. Print quality is excellent. I have only printed a few photos, but I am very pleased with the results. Copying and scanning from the display was also very easy to do. I like the flat lines of the printer. I would prefer a tray feed for paper, but the rear feed works fine. I realize that would both increase the size of the printer and the cost. Overall, I am very pleased with the Epson Expression Home XP-4200 printer.

Got this because I had the regular instax mini camera and a printer, sold both to get this since you can use it as a printer as well, the app is so easy to use to transfer inages from my phone, love how compact it is a d the design is beautiful, love all the different presets the camera has built in

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teenage niece and I had such a blast with the cannon mini printer! It was great that once you have the app on amy phone, you can print to the mini printer. We both had the app and both could select photos to print. We have now started a scrapbook with put photos and plan to add to it at least once a month! Amazing time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this mini printer is lightweight and easy to use. You can easily keep it in your purse, car or wherever without being bulky. I like that the app is simple and very user friendly. The app has cool features that allow you to edit pics, add borders and more which is a really neat feature. The picture quality comes out decent also. My kids and I have had a blast editing and printing off cool stickers pictures with this mini printer. Highly recommend and it would make a really cool gift for anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After downloading the canon ivy app and receiving the new canon ivy, mini photo printer #2, I absolutely adore this printer. It’s so much faster it charges faster and they really improved number two a lot. It’s amazing how great quality pictures this printer prints with the help of the app. This was a big hit at my party now everyone wants a canon ivy mini photo printer for Christmas. Happy that I got the chance to receive and try this product in my family and friends are super excited and have this on their Christmas list. It was very easy to download the app and attach the printer and it made it very easy to print the photos. I love this product. Thank you #RippleStreet and #Canon
