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

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 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 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.

I bought the machine, and I see that the inks and stickers are not deliverable in Europe!!!!!!!! So I can't use it. And yet they are the ones who sold it to me on Kickstarter!!!! And they don't respond to any messages...

I have a Polaroid Hi-Print and a Liene photo/sticker printer/cutter. I like them both. The Polaroid is portable and has a cute design and small form factor.

I haven’t had the printer very long, so I haven’t had any mechanical issues, but I only use the stickers on paper, and they are plenty sticky - stickier than the Hi-Print. I also don’t mind journal stickers being not too sticky because I like to re-position them if I mess up.

Liene Pixcut S1 it’s not cheap $300. But it prints beautiful vivid colored stickers. Mine came in yesterday and I’m just so surprised at the intensity of the color. It’s perfect for journaling. I have the Hp sprocket and its prints great little 2 x 3 photos/stickers. It has no ink which I love, keeps cost minimal, but compare the colors to this Liene product, $300 is expensive but it depends on quality of stickers that you want. I’ve been very impressed so far. Is it perfect? No, but it’s great for me and is what I was looking for! It prints and cuts, don’t need several machines.

For me the Canon Ivy is pretty inconsistent with color and not as vivid as I’d like. I just got the Liene PixCut and have been really pleased so far. Not super portable, but still pretty small.
