Record movement anytime, anywhere

If you are a photographer, then you must know what Canon is. In the past, we used SLR cameras to record every moving moment, but now mobile phone photography is popular, and more and more moving moments are replaced by moments, becoming a drop in the ocean among thousands of photos. Try to see how many consumers regret the damage and loss of their mobile phones for life. Real feelings need to be recorded at any time. Nowadays, this photo printer, which is about the size of a mobile power supply, can be the best choice to record feelings anytime and anywhere.

In the era of film cameras, the only way to save photos is to develop them. The author's childhood photos more than 20 years ago are still well preserved. But after entering the digital age, the author can't even find the photos of a year ago. The sharp decline of the photo studio makes it particularly difficult to develop photos, so we can only choose online printing service or printing at home. But with the accelerated pace of life, there is little time to organize photos alone, let alone print them yourself. At this time, we need a portable printing device that can adapt to various occasions.

Canon instant color PV- 123 is a pocket-type mobile phone photo printer, which is convenient to carry, operate and maintain. Can be used to quickly connect the phone, so as to print photos in the phone.

The size of the whole machine is about118.31x82.36x18.7mm, which is equivalent to the size of a 6000mah charging treasure. The machine has a built-in 500 mAh battery, which can print about 20 photos when fully charged. You can print while charging, and it takes about 90 minutes to fully charge. The accessories of the machine are relatively simple, only one power cord, 10 sheets of ZINK photographic paper, installation instruction card, warranty card and product certificate are provided.

Before using Canon real-time color PV- 123 mobile phone photo printer, we need to put the photo paper into the machine first. Here we use the original Canon ZP-2030 Fast color paper. It is a kind of adhesive-backed photographic paper based on the principle of thermal sensitivity, and its size is 2x3 inches (5x7.6cm). The printing cost of using official photographic paper is about 2.2 yuan/sheet.

As it is a mobile phone photo printer, you need to download the dedicated APPCanon Mini Print to use Canon Instant Color PV- 123. After installing the software, we can pair the printer with the mobile phone via Bluetooth.

It is worth mentioning that Canon's real-time color PV- 123 provides a simpler pairing method for smartphones supporting NFC. After the phone is turned on, you only need to turn on Bluetooth and NFC on the phone to touch the pairing. If your smartphone doesn't support NFC, you can also find the Canon mini printer in the Bluetooth menu and connect it.

When we have completed the pairing connection and camera installation, we can choose photos to print on the mobile phone at will.

In addition to printing photos, Canon Mini Print can also provide basic image processing functions such as adding filters, cropping and adding borders. At the same time, it can also provide personalized functions such as graffiti and text boxes. Basically competent for ordinary image processing, eliminating the need for users to use other retouching software.

Limited by the size of the pocket printer itself, we can only print 2×3 inches of photos, but through the mosaic mode of the software, we can divide a photo into 4 to 9 photos and then splice them together to get a larger size.

In fact, the printing of PV- 123 is not limited to photos, and its usage scenarios are very flexible. Bookmarks, food diaries, personalized stickers, storage labels, sealing stickers, luggage stickers, refrigerator stickers and so on in our daily life can all be printed with it. The author is obsessed with collecting AJ sneakers recently. After printing the label with it, he can safely put his shoes in a sealed shoe box.

From the author's actual experience, Canon Instant Color PV- 123 mobile phone photo printer can be regarded as the top product of the same size. However, due to the limitation of Zink technology, there is a certain color difference in the color of the photos we actually print. Because the bottleneck of Zink technology lies in photographic paper, not in the printer itself. Zink's photographic paper can be roughly divided into three layers, the outermost layer is high-gloss coating, the middle three layers are image layers, and the bottom is paper base. When we print a photo, the crystal on the image layer becomes a stable structure under the action of high temperature, thus showing a specific color. However, because the color change is controlled by temperature, its color accuracy will not be ideal.

From the actual printed photos, compared with the original film, it will be yellow and dark. Therefore, although the actual photos are better than Polaroid's, there is still a big gap in image quality compared with Canon Xuanfei SELPHY, a photo printer using thermal sublimation technology. Of course, you can't have your cake and eat it, so can print quality and printer size. After all, the positioning of Canon Instant Color PV- 123 is simple and portable, and how to choose it depends on your use needs.
