Black Friday 2025 : get ready to buy your photo printer !
Black Friday 2025 is approaching, and for many, it's the perfect time to invest in useful, creative equipment that's easy to use on a daily basis. Among the items that are attracting more and more people, the portable photo printer stands out. Compact, intuitive and designed for mobile use, it brings our memories to life in seconds.
But as with any technological purchase, there are several models, several ranges, and therefore several prices. In this article, we help you see things more clearly. What criteria should you compare? Which printer should you choose according to your needs? And above all, how can you make the most of the Black Friday 2025 offers? Here is our advice, accompanied by concrete examples and products selected for their good value for money.
What is the best portable photo printer?
With so many models available, it's not always easy to choose the photo printer that will truly meet your expectations. It all depends on how you plan to use it, how often you print, and the results you want to achieve. To help you make the right choice, here are three common profiles. Each is associated with a model that stands out for its features and ease of use.
Very compact portable photo printer
If you're looking for a photo printer that you can slip into a bag or take with you on a trip, mobility is your priority. In this case, the size of the device, ease of connection and printing speed are essential criteria.
In these cases, the Realipix Mini P.2 ZINK is perfect for you. It uses an ink-free technology called ZINK (Zero Ink), which prints directly onto special thermal paper. No cartridges to change, no liquids, everything is integrated into the paper.
Its mini format and intuitive interface make it easy to print from a smartphone in seconds. It is the ideal printer for spontaneous use. A party with friends, a snapshot to stick in a travel journal, or a souvenir to give as a gift.
Portable photo printer for the family
In a family setting, expectations are often different. People want image quality close to professional development, with accurate colour rendering, good resolution and a more standard format. This is where a more comprehensive model makes sense.
The Realipix MOMENTS 10x15 stands out for its high-end print quality. It uses thermal sublimation technology, with several successive layers of colour, for sharper and more durable photos.
It is compatible with several types of media, has full connectivity, and can be used from both a computer and a phone. It is a good choice for printing family photos, portraits or holiday memories to keep in an album. Anyone can use it, very easily!
Portable photo printer cartridges
When printing regularly, the cost per page becomes an important factor. It is important to compare not only the price of the printer, but also the cost of refills. Cartridges, paper, printing kits. Anticipating these expenses helps avoid unpleasant surprises.
The Realipix range offers a wide selection of printer cartridges, available from £12.50 per pack depending on the model. These consumables are easy to install, available online, and designed to optimise printer performance.
With Black Friday approaching, now is the ideal time to stock up on consumables or choose a printer with a pack that includes refills. This allows you to extend the life of your printer without any immediate additional costs and ensures continuity in printing your memories.
Black Friday 2025: the right time to invest in a photo printer?
Every year, November is a busy time for consumers and brands alike. Black Friday has become the time to grab a bargain, especially on tech products. It's also an opportunity to kit yourself out at a lower cost with models that often offer good value for money. But you still need to know what to look out for.
Are printers usually on sale for Black Friday?
When it comes to photo printers, the discounts offered during Black Friday are often attractive. They apply to both entry-level models and complete packs that include paper. Previous years have shown that discounts can reach 20 to 30%, especially on compact devices and accessories.
It's also a time when stock turns over more quickly. Popular items are highlighted, sometimes in limited editions or in enhanced packs. This allows you to shop smart, while taking advantage of the opportunity to get a head start on the holiday season or personalised gifts.
Before buying, it is important to compare product specifications carefully. Check compatibility with your phone and take a look at the return policy if necessary.
What criteria should you consider before buying a photo printer?
Before buying, it is important to read the technical specifications carefully. Not all models offer the same quality or user experience. Certain criteria deserve special attention.
The resolution, expressed in dpi, determines the sharpness of the image. For good photo quality, aim for at least 300 dpi. Print speed varies depending on the model: in general, it takes between 45 and 60 seconds for a standard 10x15 cm print.
Battery life depends on the type of device. A battery-powered printer will be more practical for mobile use, while a mains-powered model will be better suited to regular use at home.
The cost per photo is also an important factor to consider. It varies depending on the paper and refills required. ZINK printers, for example, operate without ink, which simplifies the calculations.
Finally, it is best to choose a brand that offers easy-to-find consumables. This avoids unpleasant surprises when replacing paper or cartridges.
By checking these factors before Black Friday, you'll be sure to make a useful, durable purchase that's well suited to your needs.
Where can you find AgfaPhoto deals during Black Friday 2025?
To make sure you don't miss anything, the easiest thing to do is to check the official AgfaPhoto website. Promotions are usually posted online a few days before Black Friday, sometimes even as early as mid-November.

Current discounts are grouped together in a section dedicated to promotions, which is regularly updated during the period. You can also find the most attractive packs, especially those that include paper or accessories.
To avoid stock shortages, it is best to add items to your basket as soon as you have made your choice, even if you finalise your purchase on the day itself.
How do I print photos from my mobile phone?
One of the great advantages of portable photo printers is their ability to connect directly to a smartphone. No more need for a computer or complicated cables. It only takes a few steps to turn a digital photo into a paper print. But you still need to know how to do it. Here are the steps to follow to print easily from your phone.
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection for your portable photo printer?
Before you start printing, you need to establish a connection between your phone and the printer. There are two types of connection: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct. Bluetooth is often quicker to set up, making it ideal for spontaneous use.
The Realipix MINI P Black Printer + 28 Photos pack has been designed to make this step easier. Thanks to its optimised Bluetooth connectivity, your printer connects to most smartphones, iOS or Android, in seconds. Its compact size, combined with an included pack of paper, makes it a smart choice for those who want to print right away. No need to buy consumables separately.
Once connected, the device is ready to receive your images. The interface is designed to be accessible, even if you are a beginner.
Dedicated apps for printing your photos quickly
Most compact photo printers require a mobile app to start printing. These apps are not just for sending photos. They also allow you to crop them, add filters or organise a collage of several images.
The AgfaPhoto Realipix application offers a clear interface. You can adjust colours, choose the image format, add a border or create a collage. This avoids having to use third-party software or edit your images elsewhere. Everything is done smoothly from your phone screen.
The app also allows you to check the printer status, remaining paper level, and software updates. It quickly becomes an essential tool, especially if you print regularly.
The right settings for beautiful photo prints
Once you have selected your photo, it is important to check a few technical settings to ensure a good result. The output format depends on the model. Some printers print in 5x7, others in 10x15 cm. Make sure the image is properly framed to avoid cropped edges.
In terms of resolution, images taken with a recent smartphone are generally of good quality. But avoid zooming or cropping excessively in the app, as this may cause blurring when printing.
Finally, the type of paper used affects the final result. Models such as the Realipix Mini P work with ZINK photo paper, without ink. Larger models use thermal sublimation, which prints in successive layers. This technology offers better colour gradation and a more durable finish.
Each method has its advantages. ZINK focuses on practicality and speed. Sublimation, on the other hand, appeals for its precision. The important thing is to choose according to your needs.
