Features
That said, talking about the photo quality Xiaomi says the images are of HD quality and delicate to the eyes. As per the company, the images are from professional dye sublimation printing technology where each color dot has a rendering capacity of 256 levels. The printer does this by having a resolution of up to 300 dpi, 16.7 million colors, wider color gamut with 1280 print heating heads.
Another highlight of the printer is that it automatically applies a transparent protective film while printing. This makes the images waterproof, resistant to dust, fingerprint smudges etc. Hence, photos can last longer without any yellowish tint over the years.

The smart printer also supports connectivity with Mobile phones, tablets, and Computer. You can use WeChat or MIJIA App(v5.5.0) to directly print photos. It also supports remote printing wherein you can be anywhere while selecting photos over the app and the printer at home will print it for you.
