My Experience:
I originally received the Canon Ivy 2 as a birthday gift and after using it, I thought to myself – this is the perfect gift for anyone! I could print many polaroid-like prints of my significant other and me, which was perfect for our little memory book for our anniversary. I paid roughly $70 for this during Christmas, and it was a great gift that did not break my bank.
The Goods / Pros
Excellent In-App Features:
The Canon Mini Print App connects smart devices to the Ivy 2, and it is effortless to print and customize photos. The app allows you to customize the photo with custom borders and you’re able to crop images perfectly to the frame you want.
Inkless Printing with ZINK Technology:
The ZINK (Zero Ink) technology is a standout feature that eliminates the need for ink cartridges. The recipient can enjoy mess-free printing with colorful, vibrant prints thanks to the embedded dye-based crystals in the paper. Be careful, however, not to get any water near it, as it can completely stain the image!
Print Quality:
The Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer goes the extra mile with improved print quality. Enhanced skin tone colors, increased photo contrast, and sharper details ensure that each print vividly captures the essence of the captured moments.
The Cons / Bads:
Heat and Battery Life:
Be wary that the device has TERRIBLE battery life and that it may heat it fairly quickly. As of now, there are no significant drawbacks to the Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer. It has proven to be a delightful and user-friendly gift without any notable downsides.
Quality Comparison vs Other Products:
Compared to other options on the market, the Canon Ivy 2 stands out with its superior print quality, hassle-free ZINK technology, and enhanced connectivity features. It serves as a perfect blend of functionality and sentimentality. I always thought that the design of the printer itself was generally better than the others.
Verdict:
The Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer is unquestionably a 5-star gift. It promises to turn memories into tangible treasures, combining convenience, high print quality, and seamless user experience! I highly recommend this as a gift to anyone or if you are just starting a memory book like me.
