Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printers with printed photos and vibrant background

SAVE $ 30.99: As of Nov. 29, Amazon has the Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer on sale for just $ 69 instead of its usual $ 99.99 — that’s 31% in savings and a new all-time low price.


Looking for a unique gift idea for teens? The Canon Ivy 2 Mini photo printer can satisfy their photo-snapping obsession and need for instant gratification by allowing them to customize and print photo stickers directly from their phones. And it’s currently on sale for 31% off post Cyber Monday.

As of Nov. 29, the Canon Ivy 2 Mini is down to just $ 69 at Amazon in both white and pink color options — that’s a price drop of $ 30.99 and its lowest price to date. Target, Best Buy, and Canon‘s own website all have it on sale for just 99 cents more, if you prefer one of those retailers to Amazon.

The Ivy 2 Mini is tiny enough to fit in a pocket, so it can be toted around on any type of adventure. It charges up via USB in about 45 minutes and it’s ready to go. And you don’t need to stress over buying ink to go with it since it uses Zink (Zero Ink) technology that features colorful dye-based crystals embedded inside the paper itself. You will, however, have to snag some Zink photo paper after the initial 10 sheets run out — which will probably be pretty quick.

Compatible with iPhone and Android, the Canon Mini Print app lets you customize and bedazzle photos with creative frames, stickers, and filters before printing. The sticky-back photo paper means you can stick the photos to any surface, which gives photos that would otherwise sit in an endless camera roll void and new life outside of the screen. You know, kind of like the good ol’ days.
