The Mi Pocket photo printer prints images transmitted to it from a smartphone via Bluetooth. Its smooth housing with rounded edges offers a pleasant feel and slips easily into any bag. The printer works without ink or paint but rather uses the dye-based crystals embedded in the paper. They become visible as colour on the paper when the printhead is heated. This noticeably reduces wear and tear on the printhead.
Statement by the Jury
The Mi Pocket Photo Printer impresses with its innovative printing technology. Since it is also extremely handy, it is fun to use anywhere.
