We find the app quite easy to use. It is very straight to the point and easy to navigate, which makes it very beginner-friendly.
It prints out the classic Instax instant film, which gives any photo a very vintage effect. If you are into this kind of aesthetic, this is probably the photo printer for you.
Many users enjoy the size of the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link. You can bring it anywhere you’d like without the hassle of being bulky and tangled wires. It’s so small that you can even fit it in your pocket!
It uses OLED printing, which is one of the most advanced technologies in print. This entails the use of a special technology that emits flat light when an electrical current is applied.
Depending on where you get it, it can cost you around P6,000 up to P7,000. It is available online on Lazada or Shopee, or any camera or tech booth in major malls.
We were justquite disappointed that you will not be able to print from your laptop or desktop. That said, this might not be too big of a problem for people who store their photos on their phones.
You should also set your expectations that the photo sizes are quite small since it is printed on Instax photo paper.

Similar to the first one on our list, it also comes with an app that is not hard to navigate due to its simple layout. Another great thing about the HP Sprocket 200 Portable 2×3 is that you can use it even when it is plugged in.
The photo quality of this device is superb. Using zink paper, the colors are crisp and vibrant which you can only get with high-quality printers.
Different websites sell the HP Sprocket 200 Portable 2×3 for various prices. We checked the estimated price and we think this is quite expensive – but if you are willing to splurge, it is a good option to have.
Many users also mentioned that besides the device being on the pricier end, zink paper is also quite expensive. This is something to keep in mind when considering this photo printer.
Another downside of this device is that it is quite hard to find. We were unsure whether the ones on Shopee and Lazada are legitimate, but the good news is that you can purchase it from Asianic.

It’s worth mentioning that the product is very lightweight and can easily fit your pouch. This is great if you plan on bringing this to school or work.
If we are talking all about convenience, the Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer is also inkless which means you only need to plug and play with it. No more mess from changing ink cartridges.
However, a few users have noted that the photos turned out quite standard. They are not as HD as the photos from the first two options on the list.
You can get the Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer in either Lazada or Shopee. It costs around P599 which is the cheapest one on our list – and we think this price is perfect for students.
The manual that it comes with is quite confusing because it comes in Chinese characters, but the app is very easy to navigate. It’s simple and there are no unnecessary setting options to decipher.
It’s a bit disappointing to know that based on some users’ experience, some of the photos fade quickly. They recommend not exposing the photo too much from the sun and have it stored on a photo album for longevity.
If you plan on printing photos from your laptop or desktop, you might have to skip this one since it does not support this feature.

Pros
- Pocket-sized body
- Thermal printing
- Comes with a protective case
Cons
- Black-and-white photos only
- Leaves a marking on the edge of the paper
The PeriPage A6 Mini Pocket is one of the brand’s most popular items. It’s a cute photo printer that comes with a bear design that is perfect for kids and teenagers.
Having said that, we’re so glad that it comes with a free protective case with every purchase.
Although the body has a bear design, they have kept it very minimal and compact. Anyone can bring this wherever because it is lightweight.
The PeriPage A6 Mini Pocket is the cheapest option on our list. It costs around P2,137 which you can get either on Lazada or Shopee.
Similar to the other printers on the list, it is easy to connect and navigate. The process is very straightforward – we think even beginners can easily learn how to print on this device.
Like the Paperang printer, it only is capable of printing black-and-white images, which might be a dealbreaker for some people.
Another con for this device is that when printing the photos, it leaves a marking on the edge of the paper, similar to a receipt. It’s not a big problem as you can cut it out, but it’s an added step, which users might not appreciate.
