Beyond Frustrating – Canon Mini Print Review

For a printer that sells at $100+ the app is terrible. The most difficult thing about this app is having no idea how your pictures are going to turn out. They are either too zoomed in it crops parts of the photo, or too small that it leaves a huge white background. The app does not resize your picture by the 2”3” photo film. This causes you to waste film trying to guess what the correct size will be. It shows that this app was not well thought out, and cannon just wanted to make a quick buck. It becomes seriously time consuming if you add the deco. I continuously resize each deco piece before printing. Then find the picture being centered wrong. Even if it looks centered before the print out, it will not show until it’s actually physically printed. The app would be so much better if it adjusted the picture to the correct size. The only semi positive thing about this print is the price and quantity of film. As of now $9.99 gets you 20 film. $24.99 gets you 50 film. So it is sold at 50¢ each photo. It’s better than the instax Fuji film that can cost up to $1.29 at cheapest for a cartage of 10 film. Then again, if you’re printing the same photo more than once it may not even be a semi positive for this printer. If you’re prepared to waste a lot of film and waste a lot of time, this is the printer for you.
