KODAK Photo Printer app Download and Setup Guide
App for Kodak Mini and Dock instant photo printers
Representative photo — midnightcomm CC BY 2.5
The KODAK Photo Printer app drives Kodak-branded instant photo printers made by Prinics, covering the Mini and Mini Shot ranges and the Dock printers. It connects over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending on model, edits and crops photos to the print size, adds frames and stickers, and prints. Kodak licenses its name to several different manufacturers for photo printers, which is why more than one Kodak app exists: the older PD-480W and PD-450W use a separate legacy app called Kodak Printer Dock instead.
Version and licence: Free. iOS version 5.1.2 at about 90 MB, published by Prinics, which makes these printers under licence from Kodak. A separate legacy app called Kodak Printer Dock, with identifier id1119545082, covers the older PD-480W and PD-450W, so check which app your printer needs. About 90 MB on iOS.

How to install it
Step 1
Load the correct paper and ribbon cartridge for your model, since these printers use matched paper and ribbon kits.
Step 2
Charge or plug in the printer and switch it on.
Step 3
Install the KODAK Photo Printer app from the App Store or Google Play.
Step 4
Enable Bluetooth and grant the app Bluetooth and photo library permissions.
Step 5
Open the app and pair with the printer; some models also require joining the printer's own Wi-Fi network.
Step 6
Select a photo, crop it to the print format shown, and apply any frames or edits.
Step 7
Print one photo as a test, and keep the space behind the printer clear because these printers pass the paper back and forth several times per print.
Which printers it supports
Kodak Mini 2 and Mini 3, Mini Shot 2, Mini Shot 3 and Mini Shot 4, and the Kodak Dock and Dock Plus. The PD-480W and PD-450W use the separate legacy Kodak Printer Dock app.
When KODAK Photo Printer app will not work
Grant Bluetooth permission and, on Android, nearby-device permission. Some models require you to join the printer's own Wi-Fi network from the phone settings first, which means the phone loses internet access while connected.
That model uses the older Kodak Printer Dock app, a separate listing. Kodak licenses its brand to several makers, so more than one app exists and they do not overlap.
These dye-sublimation printers feed the sheet back and forth several times, so leave clear space behind the printer. Also confirm the paper and ribbon are the matched kit for your model and that the paper is loaded the right way up.
Turn off filters in the app and print once with no correction as a reference. Dye-sublimation output has a distinctive look and the protective overcoat changes the finish, so it never matches a screen exactly.
The ribbon runs out at the same rate as the paper in a matched kit. If prints stop, check the ribbon rather than the paper, and replace the whole kit rather than just the sheets.

Frequently asked questions
Why are there several Kodak printer apps?
Kodak licenses its brand to different manufacturers. This app, by Prinics, covers the Mini and Dock ranges, while other Kodak-branded printers use different apps entirely.
Does it need internet access?
No. Printing works over a direct Bluetooth or Wi-Fi link to the printer.
Can I print from a computer?
These printers are designed around the phone app. Some Dock models accept a direct phone connection, but there is no general desktop route.
