The Fun Print photo printing app connects compatible mini thermal printers to an iPhone or Android phone. From the app, you can prepare black-and-white photos, notes, labels, stickers, documents, and creative templates, then send the job to a connected printer over Bluetooth.
This guide explains how Fun Print works with C-series and related mini printers, including verified download options, setup tips, phone photo printing, common connection problems, and practical print-quality checks.
Compatible Printer Models
FunPrint works with the following mini printer models:
- C9 — Pocket-sized Bluetooth thermal printer
- C15 — Compact wireless mini printer
- C17 — Mini sticker and label printer
- C20 — Mini thermal photo and label printer
- C23 — Wireless thermal printer with LED lights
- M2 — Bluetooth inkless pocket printer
- M3 — Wireless inkless printer for iOS and Android
- M5 — Mini handheld printer
- C31 — Handheld label printer with LED lights
These models are commonly supplied for use with Fun Print, but packaging and hardware revisions can differ. Check the app name in the manual or QR code supplied with your exact printer before pairing. Print speed, supported paper, and available controls can also vary by model.
App Download and Installation
Use the Fun Print download page to choose the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the clearly labeled alternative Pgyer source. After installation, open the app and approve only the Bluetooth and photo permissions needed for the features you plan to use.
Bluetooth Connection Setup
- Make sure your printer is powered on and in Bluetooth pairing mode
- Open the FunPrint app
- Go to “Me” → “Connect” and find your printer in the available devices
- Select your printer to pair
Important: Allow Bluetooth or nearby-device access so Fun Print can discover a compatible printer. Allow photo-library or camera access only when you use a feature that needs it. Permission names vary by iOS or Android version; you do not need to approve unrelated access.

What Makes FunPrint Different?
Most mini printer apps offer similar basic functions, such as photo printing, stickers, notes, and templates. Fun Print also includes creative and AI-assisted tools in some app versions and regions. These tools are optional and can change independently of the printer’s core printing workflow.
Depending on the installed version, available tools may include:
- AI Drawing — Turn text descriptions into printable artwork
- AI Stickers — Generate unique custom sticker designs
- AI Beauty — Enhance and stylize photos before printing
- AI Voice Print — Convert voice input into printed text
- AI Q&A — Get creative inspiration and ideas
These features can help prepare creative material, but they do not change the connected thermal printer’s physical resolution, supported paper, or black-and-white output.
Common Bluetooth Issues When Using FunPrint
One common issue many users face is that the printer cannot be found when switching between different apps. This usually does not mean the printer is broken.
Many mini printers maintain only one active app connection at a time. If FunPrint is currently connected in the background, another compatible app may not be able to detect the printer.
How to Switch Apps Correctly
- Disconnect the printer from FunPrint completely
- Close or exit the FunPrint app
- Open the new app and reconnect the printer via Bluetooth
This same rule applies when switching between Funny Print and Dolewa. The issue is caused by Bluetooth connection logic, not by hardware failure.
Understanding this behavior can save a lot of unnecessary troubleshooting and prevent users from mistakenly thinking their printer is defective.
Print Quality Tips
If your printer connects normally and settings are correct, but print quality is still poor, the issue is often related to the thermal paper, not the app or printer.
Low-quality thermal paper can result in:
- Faded images
- Uneven darkness
- Short image lifespan
Using compatible, high-quality thermal paper can significantly improve clarity, contrast, and print durability — especially for photos and AI-generated designs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Fun Print a photo printing app?
Yes. Fun Print can select a photo from an iPhone or Android device, prepare it for the connected printer, and send it over Bluetooth. Compatible mini thermal printers normally produce a black-and-white physical print.
Can I print photos directly from my phone?
Yes. Connect a compatible printer inside Fun Print, choose the picture-printing tool, select a phone photo, crop it, review the monochrome preview, and print. See the step-by-step phone photo guide.
Do C9, C15, C17, C20, and C23 printers use the same Fun Print app?
These models are commonly supplied for use with Fun Print, but you should still check the app named in the manual or QR code included with the exact hardware revision. The core workflow is similar, while paper support and controls may differ.
Why can’t my printer be found on FunPrint?
This is usually caused by Bluetooth being occupied by another app, not a printer malfunction. Mini printers can only connect to one app at a time. If the printer is still connected to another app in the background, FunPrint will not be able to detect it.
Solution: Disconnect the printer from the previously used app, fully close that app, and then reconnect using FunPrint.
Can I switch from Fun Print to another printer app?
Only if the printer manual identifies the other app as compatible. Disconnect Fun Print and close it before opening a different printer app; otherwise, the existing Bluetooth session may prevent the other app from finding the printer.
How does Fun Print differ from other mini-printer apps?
Mini-printer apps differ in compatible hardware, templates, editing tools, and optional creative features. The correct choice is the app named by the printer manufacturer or supplied manual—not simply the app with the longest feature list.
FunPrint has many AI features — are they necessary?
They are optional, not required. If you only need simple photo or note printing, FunPrint’s basic functions are enough. However, its AI tools are especially popular with children and families who enjoy creative and playful printing experiences.
My prints look faded or unclear. Is this a FunPrint issue?
Usually, no. If your app settings and connection are correct, print quality is more affected by the thermal paper than the app itself. Using compatible, high-quality thermal paper often improves results immediately.
Do I need to reinstall FunPrint if Bluetooth keeps failing?
In most cases, reinstalling the app is not necessary. Bluetooth connection issues are typically resolved by:
- Disconnecting other printer apps
- Restarting Bluetooth
- Reopening FunPrint and reconnecting the printer
Only reinstall the app if connection problems persist after these steps.
