Ideal for smartphone1 users, it supports square-size format and Canon's new card-size format paper, catering to various creative needs including memory keeping, scrapbooking and crafting. The built-in battery and durable seal paper (for prints that may last up to 100 years2) make it a top choice for preserving special moments. Its borderless printing feature and dedicated app3 simplify the process, allowing users to create personalized prints effortlessly.
