Liene - PixCut S1 (DHP700)

I'm not sure what your budget is, but I highly recommend the [Liene PixCut](https://www.liene-life.com/products/pixcut-s1-photo-sticker-printer-and-cutter). You can print on photo paper, as well as sticker paper. The print quality is outstanding - much better than my Kodak Mini Retro 3. Also, the printer will cut the stickers for you, so you don't need to mess around with any other cutting tools. The downside is that it's much larger than a mini photo printer, so it's not really something you can carry around with you.

I don't have the specific printers you mentioned, but I do have a Kodak Mini 3 Retro and Liene Pixcut. Between the two the Liene produces much better photos and the software is significantly less buggy. If I had to choose between Kodak and Liene, I'd choose Liene every time.

pos, do not buy had 2 of them so far

for 3 days it did now sits on my floor

Check out the Liene photo printer, I love it. I make collages in their app and also in other photo apps so I can get multiple smaller sized pics on one 4x6 sheet. The quality is really good but sometimes it prints a bit dark for my liking, so I edit the photos to be a little lighter before printing.

It’s always one ink cartridge for each pack of paper. I remember this because each time I need to reload paper, it’s said I was out of ink and always thought - that worked out well LOL

I got my Pixcut, which I backed on the KS, and it did not work out of the box, and they cheerfully replaced it. I have had very good service!

I'm with you on the sticker sheets being a hot mess. But as a first round of a neat toy that I don't particularly need, it's fine. It'll be cool if better sheets come out.

I tried it with some different sticker papers, they work differently well, kinda "okayish". The printer made an not so happy sound though

I just wanted to share my experience with this printer, hoping no one buys it. Let’s start with the good: The printer itself works great and produces excellent prints, especially for photos. Now for the issues: The app is very basic and forces you to use it. It works fine for simple tasks, but it quickly becomes frustrating when you need more advanced features. For example, if you design something with precise measurements (like 45 x 43 mm), importing it into the app will result in a default size of approximately 20 mm (even if it was big or small) – you have to scale it manually by dragging the corners, you can't type numbers. There's no way to cut into a "bleeding zone" to achieve borderless printing. You’re forced to leave a 1mm border, and they claim they’ll fix this, but it won't allow negative margins. Cutting shapes is inconsistent. If you cut a square, you’ll get a 1.5mm border on the top and a 0.5mm border on the bottom. Cutting curves is particularly problematic – they're often inaccurate, janky and don't always cut at the same spot. The stickers aren't sticking, mostly work on just glass and very glossy surfaces. The “enhanced version” they released is essentially the same and sticks a little better, but still dont stick to plain paper... and you have to pay AGAIN for have it delivered (68$CAD + Import Fee from Amazon Canada). Finally, the stickers fade quickly in direct sunlight. At least they *are* waterproof.

photos are good and don't seems to fade (I guess I could print one and place it directly next to a window to make sure)... but yeah, right now, it seems to be only a photo printer until they fix all of the issues. Good news is, there's hope, since the machine work well and seems to be well build... it's only about the sticker paper and some software tuning.

I was backer 343, it came Dec 27 and the extra paper came the next day or two. I am out of town unfortunately, so I have no idea if/how it works.

Well, my first sticker paper wouldn't stick...even to paper. Prints beautifully but useless without sticky.paper

I have the Canon Ivy 2 and I do like it for a lot of reasons. It is already sticker-backed, it’s very compact, easy to carry refill sheets (no cartridges), and the software is easy to use. But the colors are always a little bit off. And from what I’m told, they fade after years and years. If you want something to have even a little bit of archival quality, you’ll want to avoid zink. I also have the Instax printer which is super fun, but so heckin’ bulky that it doesn’t really work well for regular or travel journaling. I picked up the Liene photo printer that does sublimation printing and the colors are so significantly better. I do have to create the printable image on different software (if, say, I want 2”x3” photos instead) but the colors are really unmatched. I didn’t think it would be noticeable but it really is. The pen you shared is utterly beautiful!

I don't have any experience with the ones on your list, but I've been happy enough with the print quality of Liene's sticker printer that I'd consider another printer from them if I needed one. I've only used the sticker paper with it (mostly to print photos to stick into my planner or journals), but you can get 4x6 photo paper as well. The prints are pretty sharp for a small printer, but the app has a bit of a learning curve and can be fiddly. The main reason I like it for planner use is that it includes a cutter, so I can put several smaller designs on the same sheet and then just peel and stick them individually. The online reviews about this model complain a lot about how the stickers aren't sticky enough, but I think that's mainly been an issue for folks who want use them on textured surfaces. I've put a ton of them them in notebooks with no issues so far.
