Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer Pro Bluetooth Photo Printer

The Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer Pro is a rechargeable pocket-sized printer for producing 2 × 3-inch photographs directly from a smartphone or tablet. It combines 313 × 313dpi dye-sublimation printing, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and automatic photo lamination in a compact 308g body.

Unlike basic ZINK printers, it uses a separate colour ribbon to create smoother gradients and more natural colour transitions. It is particularly suitable for travel memories, event photographs, scrapbooks, journals and personalised gifts.

Technical Specifications

Three Features That Define the Pro Model

1. Higher-Quality Portable Photo Printing

The printer transfers yellow, magenta and cyan colour layers onto dedicated paper using controlled heat. A final transparent coating is then applied automatically to improve resistance to fingerprints, oxidation, moisture and everyday handling.

The 313dpi resolution and 256-level colour control help produce smoother skin tones, gradients and shadow details than many basic ink-free portable printers.

2. Fully Cordless Smartphone Printing

The built-in 880mAh battery allows printing away from a wall outlet. Photos are transferred through Bluetooth 5.2 using the Xiaomi Home app, so a Wi-Fi network is not required for normal local printing.

Users preparing a portable photography setup can browse compatible Mobile Accessories such as phone stands, charging cables and travel organisers.

3. Creative AR and Layout Options

The Xiaomi Home app supports standard photos, collages, grid layouts, headshot templates, personalised borders and watermarks. AR photographs can also connect a physical print to digital video or audio that becomes visible through the app’s scanning feature.

From Smartphone to Printed Photo

1. Charge the printer and install the Xiaomi Home app.
2. Turn on Bluetooth and add the printer inside the app.
3. Insert one matching ribbon cartridge.
4. Load up to 10 standard sheets or 5 adhesive sheets.
5. Select a JPEG or PNG image from the mobile device.
6. Crop the image or apply a template, border or filter.
7. Start printing and allow the paper to pass through each colour stage.
8. Wait until the laminated photo is fully ejected before handling it.

The paper moves in and out of the printer several times while the individual colour and protective layers are applied. It should not be pulled or blocked during this process.

Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer Pro vs Instant Photo Printer 1S

Choose the Portable Photo Printer Pro when battery operation, minimum weight and instant 2 × 3-inch photographs are the priorities. The Xiaomi Instant Photo Printer 1S Set is more suitable for users who want larger photographs for frames and albums.

Paper and Ribbon Requirements

The printer does not use refillable liquid ink. Each ribbon cartridge works with a matching quantity of dedicated Xiaomi dye-sublimation paper. One ribbon normally supports ten photo prints.

• Standard paper is supplied in packs of ten sheets.
• Self-adhesive paper is supplied in groups of five sheets.
• Sticker paper is not included in the standard printer package.
• Each ribbon and paper set should be used together.
• Third-party paper may cause incorrect colours or paper-feed problems.

Who Should Choose This Printer?

Charging and Everyday Care

• Use source images of at least 1040 × 1560 pixels where possible.
• Keep paper and ribbons away from dust and moisture.
• Do not touch the glossy printing surface.
• Do not reuse previously printed or partially processed paper.
