Product Information
Full details
The KODAK Step Wireless Mobile Colour Photo Printer in Black is designed for users who want to instantly print photos directly from their smartphones or tablets. Its key benefit is the portable, high-quality, smudge-resistant 2" x 3" sticky-back prints produced via ZINK ZERO-INK TECHNOLOGY. A potential caveat is the reliance on the KODAK App for full editing capabilities and the need for ZINK paper refills.

FAQs
What type of paper does the KODAK Step printer use?

Are the prints waterproof?
The prints are smudge-resistant and durable, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture.
How do I edit photos before printing?
You can enhance your photos using the KODAK App. The app offers a full editing suite for collages, filters, borders, stickers, and text before you send them to the printer.
What is the size of the printed photos?

Does the printer require ink cartridges?

Troubleshooting
Printer not turning on
Ensure the printer is adequately charged. Connect it to a power source and check if the charging indicator lights up. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
Photos not printing or paper jam
Check that the paper tray is loaded correctly with ZINK paper and that the blue calibration card has been ejected. Gently open the printer and clear any obstructions. Reload the paper.
Poor print quality (faded, streaky, or discolored)
Ensure you are using genuine KODAK ZINK paper. Check if the paper stack is loaded correctly. The printer's rollers may need cleaning; refer to the KODAK App for specific cleaning instructions or perform a cleaning cycle if available.
Cannot connect to Bluetooth/NFC
Verify that Bluetooth/NFC is enabled on your mobile device. Make sure the printer is powered on and within range. Try restarting both your device and the printer. If issues persist, try 'forgetting' the device in your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
