“In today’s world, photos of special moments tend to stay in our social media feed. At Canon, we want to challenge that by encouraging spontaneity through the Canon Mini Photo Printer’s ultra-compact nature. Sharing print photos with friends and family can now be immediate,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. 

The Canon Mini Photo printer uses ZINK Zero Ink technology, a dry-printing technology that enables printing in colour without the use of ink cartridges. The glossy photo prints are smudge-proof and scratch-resistant, with a peel-and-stick reverse side that adheres easily to just about any smooth surface. 

With its built-in battery, the Canon Mini Photo Printer can print up to 20 photos per charge. Printing photos from a smartphone is done via Bluetooth. 

Through the Canon Mini Print app*, users can personalise snapshots. There are also options such as augmented reality (AR), face distortion and image doodling before printing. Users can either snap a photo through the in-app camera or retrieve the photos from online platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Google Drive, and Dropbox.
