Key Features of Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S
- Customizable Borders and Watermarks: The Mi Pocket Photo Printer 1S can be connected seamlessly with the Mi Home App, which has varying border styles. Users can further customize these borders or add avatars/sig watermarks to their prints—what makes each of your photos yours.
- Built-in Filters: It has 8 inbuilt filters through which one can modify the style of a photograph to reflect his or her mood or achieve desired aesthetics. This came very handy because it increased creative freedom, where now users could change the look and feel of the prints without having to use some external software.
- Wireless Connectivity: Another feature of the Mi Pocket Photo Printer 1S that is tolerably very convenient is the ability to support multiple device connections at once, which occurs via Bluetooth; this does not require any Wi-Fi connectivity. This makes the process effortless at parties where there are many people who might all want to print out photos simultaneously.
- AR Video Photo Function: The most exciting one is probably the “AR video photo” function. This will allow users to attach videos or audio to their printed photos. Using the Mijia App, while such photos are scanned, the attached media will playback; it comes alive with memory. Videos can be up to 15 seconds in length and audio up to 60 seconds. Each account can upload up to 100 such enhanced photos.
Technology and Cost-Effectiveness
- ZINK Technology: It is based on ZINK technology using self-adhesive photo paper. Hence, it does not require any ink cartridges since the print head forms images by heating certain areas of the paper. Since the photos have sticky backs, they can be posted wherever one wants and cut in any desired size as per demand.
- Economical Printing: At 99 yuan for 50 sheets, the printer should have a relatively economical cost per print of 1.98 yuan per sheet. This self-adhesive photo paper comes with 5 sheets in every package of the printer to let users start printing right out of the box.
