Canon PIXMA 亲子手工工作坊 “纸”出创意 All-In-One Photo Printer Workshop

As a picture speaks a thousand words, photos are inevitably important in our lives.

Even though everything's pretty much digitalized these days, for certain things, I would still very much prefer them hardcopy in real life!

Like my lomo photo printouts, handicrafted scrapbooks etc. 

I admit it's quite a hassle sometimes to go to the mall in order to print out photographs. We have to scroll through photos we want and save them one by one in compatible media disks (and make sure the disks are too huge in size otherwise the photo machine wouldn't load properly), change/dress up, make a trip to the mall, wait for the person to serve us, make additional adjustments on the spot with the stress of the personnel staring from the back, wait to print, queue to make payment and another trip back home. PHEW.
Just by typing it out makes me feel tired already, hurhur.

So, the new Canon PIXMA all-in-one photo printer is like god's gift.

You can now print photos anytime, anyday, in the comfort of your own room :)
See how sleek and compact it is.
Not only it's practical, it's a aesthetically pleasing to place it in your room/living room too!

Not only it is compatible with most of the media disks, you can print directly from your smart phone too!

How convenient!

What's more, it's very reasonably priced. Check out your nearby store for actual pricing :)

//edit
(someone posted a question, so I thought it would be good to add it in)

There're a number of canon pixma photo-printers in the market, with prices ranging from ~$70+ to ~$300. 

If I remember correctly, the one I tried out personally during the workshop is Canon PIXMA AIO MG-5370, retailing for $229 :) 

The one in the very first picture of this post is Canon PIXMA AIO MG-3170, with wirelss functions, retails for only $149! 

There are even cheaper options like the basic Canon PIXMA AIO MG 2170, cost only $79. 

Hope that helps! <3

On top of those specs, it comes with My Image Garden software which allows for organization of your photos and any images, create collages or other creative items such as calendars, business cards, stickers, disc labels etc!

There's also Canon PIXMAtown which is like a community/platform for sharing creative ideas and beautiful images!

One of the section contains step-by-step instructions to DIY cute stuffs using the canon pixma printer.
