Cheapest photo printers by price

It depends on the model, the print size and the media pack price. This page does not estimate cost per print, so compare the media pack price and the number of prints it holds.

A mini photo printer is a pocket-sized model that prints small photos, often 2 x 3 inches, from a phone. Many use ZINK paper, which has dye crystals built in and needs no ink, while others use dye-sublimation ribbons or instant film. Paper or film is the running cost.

A ZINK printer prints on special paper with dye crystals built in, so it needs no ink or ribbon. The paper is sold in packs, and it is the cost of every print.

No. The figure shown is the price of the printer only. Ink, toner, film or paper are bought separately, and many printers ship with starter supplies that print fewer pages than a standard replacement. Some listings also offer a subscription trial. Check the supply cost for the exact model before you decide.

Across 95 listings, the middle 80% range from about $70 to $185, with a median of $120. That is 34% below the all-printer median of $181 per printer. Prices change often, so check the current price on Amazon before you buy.

At the last update it is Canon KP-108IN 3 Color Ink Cassette and 108 Sheets 4 x 6 Paper Glossy for SEL..., at $48. The cheapest listing is not always the best buy, so compare the cost of replacement ink or toner, the warranty and the features.
