Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife! She absolutely loved it and is constantly printing out pictures of our daughter. Super easy to use and the app has great filters and stickers to add as well.

The Canon - Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer is what you get when you combine the practicality of Polaroid with the novelty of Instagram. Wallet like in size and minimal in design, the first word that comes to mind is... "Charming." Printing bite sized photos and navigating the scrapbook friendly app transported me to the final days before Summer vacation during middle school. From the Powder Blue and Pinkgold color pallet, the demograhic for the product is pretty clear; but with the white option the printer itself is pretty gender neutral. With the Holidays right around the corner, The IVY 2 is the perfect stocking stuffer for the photogenic (Pre) teenage members of the family! Surprisingly, however, the many great features offered aren't even in the box at all. Once you flip open the packaging, you're presented with the mini printer, a user guide, a sample deck of 2"x3" photo paper w/ calibration sheet, and a charging cable. Once you scan the QR code under the lid, the magic of the "Canon IVY 2" truly starts coming to life. The app gives you the ability to customize & edit all the photos in your phone and in-app libraries. From stickers, to text, to borders frames, to downloadable content the possibilities feel endless. Resolution of the prints are fairly accurate to the their digital counterparts if not a touch softer in sharpness (which is somewhat expected given the type of media.) It may require 2-3 test prints to clear any excess ink specks on finished photos but other wise it's a non-issue. My BIGGEST concern when opening the blister pack of photo paper was "Where the heck do I go to replacement paper?" Thankfully, this was taken into consideration in the design of the app and can easily be purchased under the top left menu tab. Overall, there is a modern yet nostagic in-hand quality to the IVY 2 user experience. Perfect for the young ones who cherish all the "smaller" moments!

This is a Fun little printer that can be utilized by a wide range of users and ages. When my wife was first shown this, she said it would be great for labeling shoe boxes with both a picture and descriptive text. I think the longer you have this printer, the more you will find uses for it. Pros are the unit’s portability and versatility of creative tools such as frames, cutout shapes, text with many font choices and numerous presets and adjustments for images. Negatives might include a ridiculously long and hard to read legal agreement that thankfully doesn’t require the surrender of your first born offspring, some cryptic icons within the required app rivaling Egyptian hieroglyphics and of course the cost of the Zink, (Zero Ink Technology) printing paper that thankfully, as the name implies, does not require you to use any ink to print. Overall, if you can restrain yourself to making prints of purpose and not just going hog-wild with every possible idea and variation, this will be a good choice. A younger operator will most likely quickly devastate your paper supply. Keep in mind that this manufacturer also has a camera/printer combo that is very similarly priced, so if that interests you, check it out before purchase. Also be aware that multiple manufacturers use this Zink paper in a similar size, although I haven’t tried any of them yet to determine compatibility with this unit.

This little thing is so FLIPPIN' CUTE! I really love how fun it is - I've printed stickers of my Fam and pets and the app interfaces easily. It's a sort of throw-back to the Polaroid I think. The pros for me are the pretty color, very lightweight and I can take it anywhere. We had this sort of impromptu gathering at work, we hadn't all seen each other in the same place together for a while. I took out the mini-photo printer, and everyone was really happy and playful with it. I love the sticker part, although, I haven't actually peeled any of the stickers off - don't want to mess up any surfaces. Would be great for a teen scrapbook or locker... Not sure how Custodial would feel about that later, though! The cons, there's really just a few - the printing sheets aren't cheap. I mean, I don't expect them to be DIRT cheap, but, I guess when you can just print several larger prints out from a computer, it doesn't seem very feasible to keep buying the photo sheets? I know this was a trial run, but I would have liked to have been able to print larger sizes.

If you're looking for a printer for sharing photos on the go, look no further that the Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer. This printer is slightly larger than a deck of playing cards that can produce excellent 2x3 inch photos without using any ink. Due to its small size it can be taken anywhere as long as it is accompanied with your smartphone. Installation is simple: (1) Load Canon's Mini Printer app, (2) Charge your printer, (3) Pair with Bluetooth, (4) Select photos on your phone and (5) Print. Not only can you do single photos, you can do collages as well. You can even draw on the photos, too! Although the standard photo size is 2x3, this photo printer can do circle photos as well. Although the photos printer look excellent, they do produce a slightly warmer color than the original. Most users would not notice this issue. The technology that went into this printer does NOT require ink. This is a real benefit for those worried about ink prices. My only complaint about this printer is the pricing. It sells for $100 and each finished photo costs 50-cents each. The circular paper is 70-cents each. Most photo paper comes in 20 or 50 sheet packs. The big question is how many of us need a photo printer on-the-go? But if you are in need of such a device, the Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer is an excellent choice.

My daughter loves it and so do I. Perfect for her sketch book and scrap book!

Excellent quality photo! Easy to use! It’s fun to have a small printer to take on vacations!

Canon Ivy Mini Photo Printer is a fun little gadget that makes 2 inch by 3 inch photos using Zero Ink technology. Mine is Blush Rose but you can also get it in Pure White . It came with a 10 pack of Sticky-Backed Photo ZINK Paper that has a blue card in the stack that the printer ejects after you insert the stack with the blue card on the bottom. Since there are no instructions you just have to guess by following a picture on the pack of stickers. Lid barely latches but once you have it in the notches it stays put. Device charges using the almost 11 inch USB-A to USB-C cable included. I had to charge from a USB port on my laptop since the cord is so short it doesn't reach any of my plugged in USB ports. It was already partially charged inside the box so the charging light changed from red to green after about 30 minutes. Once the light is green then the printer is ready to use and can be unplugged from the USB. It's portable. Download the Canon Mini Print app to your iPhone and then connect via Bluetooth. Power on the device and the Disconnected in the upper right corner of your app screen should change to Green and show the battery percentage. A one inch White light at the end where the photos come out stays on. It is ready to go. No instructions but you can figure it out. Snap a photo with the app or choose one from your photo album. You can pick borders, stickers, phrases, etc... then preview them and make adjustments before printing. Photos eject from the slot below the white light and it makes a whirring noise while printing. My first tries are just a little darker than the original photos but there is probably a way to adjust before printing. I have mostly used frames around photos but there are lots of options like Balloon letters for captions and Winter stickers and frames. I'm sure with use I can figure out how to use more options but even a Quick Start manual or insert would have been helpful so I don't waste any pricey ZINK paper.

Love this product so much it's fun and amazing love it

Bought this for a Christmas gift and my daughter loved it! Pictures come out very clear. Easy to make a collage of Christmas and new year pictures. That’s what we did and everyone love it !

Overall, an easy and convenient small photo printer. The sticky backing makes this great for scrapbooking. I have noticed darker photos print darker than the original and the black/deep colors will run a bit, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Excellent , works perfectly , only downfall is that the battery dies pretty quick. other than that the product is VERY worth it !!

Works great love the concept. Able to easily print from phone and directly stick photos directly into scrapbook. Love it!

This ivy2 works great and the things to produce with are endless, itis very easy to use

We bought this for our teenage son because he loves to take pictures. He loved it. For being so small and simple.. the quality of the pictures is good. So glad we got it.

The picture comes out pretty nice, its also cool that its a sticky backing

I love this item. I used it to make mini labels for mini bottles for my moms party. I can now print any sticker I want. I wish it had a wider selection of sticker pictures but it has enough to work creatively.

There are some pros about this device, but one extremely annoying flaw. For starters, it really is a nice little device for taking cute little sticker pictures that you can easily share. It's nice at a family event or something, where you can quickly take the picture and share it with friends. My flaw would be with the little picture cartridges that are loaded into the printer. Canon uses the ZINK Smartsheet technology to ensure only their cartridges are used in the printer. Truthfully that wouldn't be a big deal, but the first time we went to use the device, it printed out the Smartsheet, which we then threw away before completing setup. We tried everything, but then had to get a new box of the paper stickers with a new Smartsheet before we could use the printer. The final product is really small and more of a gimmick than an actual memento of any sort, not to mention the price of the paper used inside of it is far worse quality and more expensive than photos that you could just go to the store and get developed. It's a neat little product but nothing more

Very good product amazing ! Me and my wife love it

Compact and highly functional. I absolutely love it!
