Overview

The Canon Ivy CLIQ+ sits in an interesting creative niche: it's part instant camera, part portable printer, and part social prop. The appeal is immediacy — you shoot a photo, and within seconds you're peeling a physical print off the back and sticking it somewhere. For events like weddings, birthday parties, or DIY photo booths, this delivers a tactile experience that phone photos simply can't match. The Canon Mini Print App extends the creative possibilities further, letting you dress up images with overlays and filters before printing, and even trigger the camera remotely so you're not left out of the frame.

The print engine runs on ZINK (Zero Ink) technology — dye crystals embedded in the 2x3" peel-and-stick paper that are activated by heat during printing, requiring no ink cartridges whatsoever. Prints emerge water-resistant and smudge-proof, with a peel-and-stick backing that adheres to most smooth surfaces. The camera itself is built for accessibility and portability rather than photographic precision — expect cheerful, saturated 2x3" keepsakes rather than crisp archival prints. The slim body slips into a pocket or small bag effortlessly, making it a natural companion for travel and social gatherings.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • The ZINK zero-ink system means no messy cartridges to carry or replace — just load paper and shoot.
  • The peel-and-stick photo backing makes prints immediately usable for decorating notebooks, phone cases, lockers, and photo walls without needing frames or adhesive.
  • The Canon Mini Print App adds creative control — filters, stickers, and frames — directly on the phone before committing to a print.
  • The remote shutter function in the app means the whole group can be in the photo without a self-timer scramble.
  • The slim, pocketable body makes it a genuinely portable option for events, travel, and gatherings where a larger camera would stay in the bag.

👎 Cons

  • The 2x3" ZINK print size is small — detailed wide shots or group photos lose fine detail at this scale.
  • Image quality from the built-in camera reflects the compact format; it's optimized for fun and social use rather than technically demanding photography.
  • ZINK photo paper is an ongoing consumable cost — printing volume directly drives ongoing expense.
  • The Bluetooth-only connectivity means print speeds and reliability depend on maintaining a stable app connection, which can occasionally drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

No ink is required. The CLIQ+ uses ZINK (Zero Ink) printing technology, where dye crystals are embedded directly in the photo paper itself. Heat from the printer activates the crystals — you only ever need to stock ZINK peel-and-stick paper.
Yes — the Canon Mini Print App connects via Bluetooth and lets you print photos directly from your phone's camera roll. The app also adds stickers, frames, filters, and emoji overlays before printing, and supports a remote shutter function so you can trigger the camera from your phone.
ZINK prints are water-resistant and smudge-resistant, making them more durable than standard inkjet prints. They won't smear if they get wet and hold up well on surfaces like notebooks, luggage, and phone cases thanks to the peel-and-stick backing.
The CLIQ+ prints on standard ZINK 2x3" peel-and-stick photo paper. The prints are credit-card-sized — compact enough for decorating but small enough that detail in wide-angle shots may not render with high sharpness.
The CLIQ+ has a built-in rechargeable battery. Battery life depends on printing frequency, but the compact form factor means it's designed for social sessions rather than all-day continuous printing.
