Xiaomi recently unveiled the Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S, a portable printer that brings instant physical copies of your favorite digital moments. The portable printer is now up for sale in China for 399 yuan (approximately $55). It is now available on JD.com. Let’s check out its key specs.
Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S Specifications:
The printer utilizes ZINK zero-ink printing technology, eliminating the need for messy ink cartridges. Instead, the printer uses heat to activate color crystals embedded within the special ZINK paper. This method also produces photos with a built-in adhesive backing, allowing for easy sticking on scrapbooks, phone cases, or other creative projects.
The printer connects to the Mi Home app, where users can access various editing tools and features. This includes selecting filter options, creating collages with various layouts, and even adding personalized watermarks with avatars and signatures.
The 1S introduces “AR photos,” where you can embed videos or short audio clips (up to 15 seconds for video and 60 seconds for audio) within the Mi Home app. When you scan the printed photo with the app, the video or audio comes to life, adding another layer of interactivity and sentimentality to your cherished memories.
The Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S supports Bluetooth 5.2, allowing up to three devices to connect and print photos sequentially without needing a Wi-Fi network. The printer itself is lightweight and compact, measuring just 82mm x 124mm x 22mm, making it easily portable for on-the-go printing.
Xiaomi claims the included 5 sheets of ZINK paper and a ribbon good for 20 prints can be used to create photos for as low as 1.98 yuan (around $0.27) per sheet, with additional 50-sheet packs of ZINK paper available for purchase.
The printer supports image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and HEIF and is compatible with Android 8.0 or iOS 12.0 and above. The Mi Home App allows customization and management of AR content, with an account limit of up to 100 AR photos.
