Polaroid Zip Photo 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.

Great product that I use with my Polaroid ZIP. Shipping only took 2 days to Canada. Will be buying again.

[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!

Works amazingly well with pogo polaroid printer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This printer is amazing. It’s the perfect size, the setup was extremely easy and it came charged enough to start printing photo stickers right away. This would make a perfect gift for anyone! It came in a very pretty pink color and all the things you need to use it. I love the fact that you don’t need No INK! Come with an app, where you can select your photos and customize it. My daughter was able to use the app and add a cute frame to her picture. I definitely recommend this mini photo printer. This would be perfect for teenagers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I read some reviews on this printer before I set mine up and was expecting to run into some trouble in the setup process but I gotta say, this has to be the easiest printer setup I have ever had to do in my life. A lot of times, printers are so hard for me to set up so I was dreading doing this one and I’m so happy that it was SO EASY! I set it up to my iPhone by downloading the app and it walked me through step by step on the display screen and then in the app. When I went to print a photo on some of the free photo paper that was included in the box, I wasn’t sure how to put 4x6 paper in so I referred to the app and it showed me how to use the rear paper loader then the display showed an animation on exactly how to do it. SO. EASY! The print quality was awesome on the photo, too.. maybe even better than when I send it to print at the store. I’m so happy to have my own printer downstairs in my office, been using my husbands which is upstairs and i was not a fan of having to run upstairs to get my papers constantly lol. I highly recommend this printer, I can’t wait to start printing more things!!

Amazing printer for its size. Love the app that allows me to customize the photo size and more. I have a Selphy & a small HP and neither compare. My only complaint would be print cost- seems higher at around 33-35 cents a print. I will only use it for collage prints to get multiple prints at a time

[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!
