Print straight from your iPad. Connect a DNP, Citizen, or HiTi photo printer with a single USB-C cable and start printing. No AirPrint, no print server, no drivers to install. (Requires an iPad with an M-series chip, M1 or later, running iPadOS 16 or later.)

Printing

• Print directly to a supported dye-sub printer over USB. Plug in the cable, pick USB Direct Printing in Print Setup, and your prints come out. Nothing to install.
• Supports DNP and Citizen printers: DS-RX1, DS40, DS80, DS620, DS820A, DS820DX, and QW410.
• Supports the HiTi P525L, with full color management so skin tones stay warm and true.
• Cut 4×6 prints into two 2×6 strips. Turn on "Cut into 2×6 strips" and classic photo strips come off the printer ready to hand out. The option appears only on printers and media that can actually do it.
• See how much media is left. Your remaining print count shows right in Print Setup, so a ribbon never runs out mid-event by surprise.
• Printer messages now say what is actually wrong, in plain language. "The printer cover is open" instead of a mystery error.
• Prints recover from brief connection hiccups on their own instead of failing.

Print Setup

• The Print Setup screen is clearer, with better spacing and print method options that are easy to tap on every device.
• Printer status is easier to read at a glance, so you know your printer is ready before guests line up.
• Setup guidance walks you through connecting a printer directly the first time.
