Take a picture right away and pick it right away! Review of portable printer image box (SPP-IBY)
It has become a trend to keep records and commemorate memories by printing photos taken with a mobile phone using a mobile photo printer. A mobile photo printer is literally a small printer that allows you to print photos taken on the spot with a smartphone or tablet PC, such as the Imagebox SPP-IBY mobile photo printer.
It is a compact portable photo printer that can be easily printed from a mobile device and fits in one hand. If you use an app called Image Box, you can edit the same photo in different ways and decorate it as you like, allowing you to print a photo that is unique in the world.
Today, let’s take a look at the photo printer image box SPP-IBY.
Charging is essential due to the nature of photo printers that can be printed wirelessly by charging the battery. In addition to the ability to directly extract photos taken on a smartphone or tablet, this portable printer has a QR code function that allows you to add messages, audio, and video links to photos to make them special.
When you want to take a photo of a special anniversary with your family, it is a portable way to commemorate that day as a must-have for lovers or family members who went on a trip together and leave a special memory called a QR code photo. It is a printer image box.
Image Box Portable Printer Components
Photo printer body, 10 sheets of photo paper, USB C to USB A charging cable, user manual
The mobile photo printer, launched in August 2023, has a compact size that fits easily in one hand and is finished in yellow to give a bright image. You can easily print photos through your mobile phone by simply installing the app on your smartphone, and the presence of the NFC logo shows that you can use it by connecting to a smartphone or tablet via NFC or Bluetooth.
The official size is compact at 86 x 137 x 17.1mm, and its light weight of 185g makes it highly portable. It uses a large paper size of 5.8
There is a power button on the right side, so you can easily turn it on and off when you want to use the mobile photo printer.
The portable printer image box can be charged through the USB-C terminal and is located on the left side.
Charging begins when the USB-C cable is connected, and the charging status can be seen through the color of the LED lamp at the outlet where the photo paper comes out. The design has a long photo paper outlet right above the area where the NFC chip is located, making it easy to see which direction photos are ejected from.
It can be easily removed by lifting the front cover, and there is space inside the cover to accommodate up to 10 sheets of photo paper. You can tell that the method of loading paper is slightly different from that of a regular printer or multi-function printer through the comment, “Insert the paper with the side with the barcode facing down.”
When you open the photo paper, the paper with the barcode is at the bottom. Just insert the paper with the barcode facing down. Using large paper of 5.8
You must install the app on your smartphone to select, edit, and decorate photos to print out one-of-a-kind photos. It provides wide compatibility for installation on both Android and iOS devices, and you can search for apps by directly entering the image box or scanning the QR code on the package.
The first thing to do after installing and loading is to give the image box a nickname.
This is the main screen of the Portable Printer Image Box (SPP-IBY) app, and the nickname, current battery level, Bluetooth or NFC connection status, and three function menus are located at the bottom.
The three functions mean iCamera, iTalk, and iGift. It has a simple structure that allows you to select and load photos from Photos, SNS, Last, and Albums, making it easy for anyone to use. Connection is through both Bluetooth and NFC.
It is specialized in viewing and utilizing each function to take pictures. All functions provided by the app cannot be used without installing the app, so installing the app is essential.
iCamera is a function that allows you to take a photo using the camera function and apply various filter effects to the captured photo to output a standalone photo. In addition, there are print modes such as 1 shot 4 picks, 1 life cut, and 2 cuts life, so you can use the appropriate mode according to your needs and print it out on the spot after shooting.
Depending on whether or not the calendar icon at the bottom right of the screen is activated, you can show or hide the year and date the photo was taken.
Next, iTalk is a function that creates a QR code photo, allowing you to create a special photo by inserting a specific message, voice recording, or video link into the photo. Photos for printing and QR code must be uploaded separately, and since the editing function is provided only for photos for printing, editing can be done on the photo for printing.
The functions supported, such as adding text, adjusting color, rotating, and decorating stickers, are simple, but they support essential things, so there is no feeling of lack in decorating photos.
By using the sticker insertion function, you can conveniently decorate your photos by inserting already-made stickers and adjusting their positions without having to type or decorate them yourself.
Once you load a photo with a QR code, you can immediately print it or preview the photo uploaded to the QR code. Click Print Now to print.
When I press print right away, it doesn’t print right away, but instead shows the times 3, 2, and 1 second, and starts printing after 3 seconds. It has a printing speed of 55 seconds and does not use ink, so it requires some warm-up time, but it is not so long that it is boring. When the photo printing is complete, a menu will appear allowing you to print one more photo.
Photos printed with the portable printer image box (SPP-IBY) have QR codes printed on them, making it the perfect photo printing method to check messages, audio, and video links to guide you to travel destinations, anniversaries, school trips, and memories of special people. I think so. I’ve used several mobile photo printers in the meantime, but it’s rare to see this feature.
iGift is subdivided into functions such as collage, phone decoration, labels, stickers, etc. Collage allows you to print up to 4 photos at once by transforming 2, 3, or 4 photos into various shapes horizontally and vertically. This is a function that can be used. Of course, you can decorate it here as well by providing the same editing and sticker decoration functions as iTalk.
This is a useful feature that I use when I want to see the various facial expressions of my loved one at once in one photo. The printing speed was also the same as when printing a single photo, so I was able to print it quickly. The photo size can be adjusted and text or stickers can be added, making it useful when printing emotional photos.
At first, it may seem difficult to select a photo, decorate it, and even print it, but the structure and principle are simple, so once you select a photo, you can print it out easily later. In just 55 seconds, you can quickly print out the photos you have taken or the photos you have decorated, so if you put the photos you have selected in a frame or put them in a photo album, they will serve as a trigger for recalling memories later.
A useful feature of the Image Box portable printer is that you can connect via NFC to directly select photos and print them right away, or take photos on the spot like an instant camera and print them.
By using the 1 Cut of Life feature available on iCamera, you can print out the 1 cut you need in your life, such as birthdays and anniversaries, in a stylish, keepsable photo format.
We can also easily print out ID photos, which are essential when issuing a resident registration card or putting it on a resume. It is very convenient to be able to easily print the photos you need because the app supports it without any special forms or frames.
What I liked about printing photos with Image Box (SPP-IBY) is that the photos are printed on a large paper size of 5.8 x 10.2 cm, so no part is cut off. It precisely matches the ratio of photos taken on a smartphone or tablet, allowing printing without any cropping, and photos with 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 ratios can all be printed.
You can select photos with the desired ratio, so there is less chance of failure when printing photos.
And the secret to printing with photo paper itself without ink in the printer is that it prints photos using ink ribbon technology, so it is possible to print high-quality photos that are clear and long-lasting.
In addition to yellow, the portable printer image box is available in pink, blue, gray, and white, so you can purchase it to suit your personal preference.

The basic specifications are as follows, and since it is compact enough to fit in one hand, it is a photo printer that is useful for having a good time by taking pictures and printing them on the spot while carrying it with you when going out, traveling, going out to work, or at a meeting. When you think of a photo printer, you only thought of a large printer, but with the development of mobile devices, you can now print photos anytime, anywhere.
I recommend the Photo Printer Image Box (SPP-IBY) to those who want to take a one-of-a-kind photo and print it right away.
