About
What it is.
Ivy CLIQ+2 sits in Canon's line of instant camera printers, pairing an 8 MP camera with a built-in ZINK printer that produces 2" x 3" self-adhesive photos without ink cartridges. The peel-and-stick backing lets prints go straight onto notebooks, lockers, or walls rather than needing a separate frame or album.
Built for selfies and social sharing, it adds a large mirror and an eight-LED ring light for framing shots, plus Bluetooth pairing with the Canon Mini Print App for pulling images from a phone's camera roll and adding filters or emojis before printing. A MicroSD slot stores photos, and the paper tray holds ZINK sheets and a SmartSheet for cleaning the print path. Weighing 6.4 oz and finished in Midnight Navy, it's aimed at casual users who want a pocketable way to shoot and print on the spot.
The verdict
The Canon Ivy CLIQ+2 excels at instant printing fun but suffers from inconsistent image quality and durability claims that don't hold up—buyers give it 4.7/5 stars yet cite print reliability as a persistent problem. At $119–$199, it's best for casual snapshots over serious photography.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What is the Canon Ivy CLIQ+2 best at?
Instant printing. Buyers rate the speed and fun factor highest—the camera prints 2" x 3" photos in about 50 seconds, and owners give instant printing a 4.9 out of 5. It's portable and compact, which buyers also value for taking it places.
What's the main downside buyers mention?
Image quality and print consistency. Owners report that photos often come out blurry after the first shot, and durability is a sore spot—buyers rate both quality and consistency at only 2.5 out of 5, even though the overall camera scores 4.7 stars.
Do the durability claims hold up?
No. Canon markets the prints as smudge-free, water-resistant, and tear-resistant, but owners rate durability and consistency at just 2.5 out of 5, so those promises don't match real-world experience.
Who is this camera for?
Casual snapshot takers and kids who want the fun of instant printing more than perfect photos. Buyers whose children enjoy outdoor photography and want to share prints right away find it appealing. It's not for anyone who expects reliable, consistent image quality over many shots.
Does it stay consistent over time?
Long-term owners report no. One buyer noted their daughter's camera produced a clear first photo but then blurry shots afterward, which is why print consistency is a persistent pain point reviewers flag.
