MELVILLE, N.Y., April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's
consumers are increasingly looking for unique ways to seamlessly
blend their personal online brand and real life persona. With
internet users having an average of seven social media accounts²,
products that support connections between people and technology
have become ever more important. In that spirit, Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, is excited to announce the IVY Mini Photo
Printer. Available in Rose Gold,
Mint Green and Slate Gray, the IVY Mini Photo Printer empowers the
next generation of creators to tell and share their story in real
life (IRL) through the power of print in the digital age.
"The proverb 'good things come in small packages' couldn't be
more true for the first 2x3 photo printer from Canon U.S.A." said Kazuto
Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "It's our smallest
and lightest printer yet, and the company is excited about giving
customers more access to creatively connect and instantly share
memories than ever before from the palm of their hand."
BE CREATIVE IRL
For smartphone photographers seeking to stay portable and on the
go with their devices, this sleek and compact portable printer has
an extensive list of standout, user-friendly features through the
Canon Mini Print app¹. The app includes creative filters, such as
photo frames and stickers, augmented reality (AR) face distortion,
as well as additional photo-editing tools including added text, fun
frames and the option to draw. These features encourage users to
creatively add fun enhancements and share those distinctive
memories in real time in either a 2x3 print or sticker output
option.
BE UNIQUE IRL
With customization at the foundation, this printer, through the
Canon Mini Printer App¹, offers the option to print not only
individual smudge-free and water-resistant 2x3 prints or stickers,
but also a tile print that is made up of four or nine prints, as
well as over ten unique collage templates that print on one 2x3
photo. From selfies to sunsets, this output option offers the
freedom of expression for a wide variety of consumers.

an amazing way to print in full color without the need of ink
cartridges. Additionally, each pack of paper comes with one blue

in that pack to produce an image that meets Canon's high-quality
image standards.
