How Does Dye-Sublimation Printing Work?
- The printer pulls the photo paper through the internal printing path.
- Yellow, magenta and cyan colour layers are transferred using controlled heat.
- The printer passes the paper through several times to build the final image.
- A transparent protective layer is applied automatically during the final stage.
This process produces smoother colour transitions than many basic instant-printing systems. The protective film helps resist fingerprints, oxidation and occasional water exposure without requiring separate lamination.
Printing from a Smartphone
The Xiaomi Home app allows users to select, crop, rotate and filter images before printing. Direct connection mode also allows a compatible smartphone to connect to the printer’s own wireless hotspot for local printing.
A typical printing workflow includes:
- Install the latest Xiaomi Home app.
- Add the printer and complete the Wi-Fi setup.
- Insert the correct photo paper and matching ribbon.
- Select a photo from the smartphone or tablet.
- Crop or adjust the image preview.
- Select the correct paper size and start printing.
Smartphones, stands and other products used to prepare and display images are available in the AS2 Mobile Accessories collection.
