IVY Mini Photo Printer

I have the HP Sprocket and can pack that very easily. Canon Ivy would be similar. They’re both Zink printers and the quality is perfectly fine for me. I’m printing them for my journal, I’m not upset if the image isn’t exactly the same as my iphone screen. You can see a lot of photos and reviews on their Amazon listings. They are *extremely* portable and I’ve found the Zink refill packs to be pretty affordable.

I had an Ivy and liked it, and bought the Ivy 2 because I heard it was better (and honestly because having one device that still used micro-USB was irritating), and my Ivy 2 is much worse. The pictures look terrible - the color wrongness is much more extreme and they're very streaky. I don't know if I just got a bad one, but it's left me very unsure what to do next. I'd always heard the Ivy line was supposed to be the best of those.

Yeah, blue. No true colors here, unfortunately. And very fuzzy/noisy pictures

Yeah, and my photos are always too blue. It’s sufficient for what I want, though.

I came here to vouch for the Canon Ivy! I but the generic Zinc sheets from Amazon, which run $23 for a 50 pack. The photos are 2" x 3" and they are pretty darn good.

I have the ivy and I’m pleased with it for my journla

I’ve had a Canon Ivy for years, and also a Canon Selphy square. I tend to use the Selphy a lot because it is newer and higher quality, but the narrower Ivy photos work well if I have a little less space. I got non-proprietary cases for travel and have loved having them!

I have the same issue with my Canon Ivy, no matter how many times I run the blue paper the photos come out SO blue :( definitely would not recommend.

I use Canon’s version, the Ivy. But I use HP paper. I read that was the best combo - still not great quality (think old Polaroid level) but allegedly best.

I’ve tried the Canon Ivy, HP sprocket, and Polaroid Hi-Print and can’t recommend the Polaroid Hi-print enough! The photo quality is way better than the others and the sticker paper is way thinner than the others so it doesn’t bulk up your hobonichi as fast! The trade off is that the refills are more pricey however.

I’ve had mine probably around a year? I haven’t noticed any problems with fading but since they’re in a closed book I haven’t been too worried. The app doesn’t have a way to make collage photos like the Canon Ivy does, their app is great but the prints were hideous and depressing because they all have a vintage blue cast. I usually make the ones I want in InShot and export it pretty quickly.

I have the Canon 1500 and the Canon Ivy. They’re both great for their intended uses. I take the Canon Ivy with me just about every time I travel. I’ve owned it 3.5 years at this point and the battery needs charged more often, but it still works great!

This is what I do! I have one of the blue sheets that come in the photo packs for my Canon Ivy with me always. Then when I know I want to put a picture somewhere, I trace around it in pencil in the spot I want. Sometimes I’ll pencil in what I want to put there (dinner with blank at blank or group photo at blank) https://preview.redd.it/35kbhhhvjwhg1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24ff2b8ef7896b77c3874cc723aa9c468b58cf91
