These printers are great if you need a portable photo printer or inkless printer to take photos on the go with your smartphone, but if you’re looking for something to print slightly bigger, and in some cases better quality prints, then take a look at the Canon photo printer range and also our other photo printer reviews.
That being said these are top portable printers especially if you want something simple and compact, that also prints stickers! And obviously being inkless printers, there is no need to buy and reload ink, which is a massive plus.
