Godox P100: Tiny NFC Photo Printer with Auto-Lamination

Ever wanted a glossy snapshot from your phone the moment a memory happens? Godox just made that impulse a lot easier to satisfy with the P100, a pocketable dye-sublimation printer that pairs with a tap and finishes prints with a protective film.

Launched in China at 699 yuan (about $104), the P100 is built like a thick power bank — compact, rounded, and easy to hold. It weighs roughly 320 grams and measures 142.5 x 86.8 x 26.8 mm, so slipping it into a bag or carrying it by hand feels natural rather than fussy. Charging is straightforward via USB‑C; it accepts a 5V/2A input, which means most phone chargers will do the job.

Under the hood sits a 1256 print heating head that pushes out 300 dpi images in up to 16.7 million colors. The dye‑sublimation process gives richer, more accurate color than many Zink-based rivals, but it does demand dedicated consumables. Godox addresses that with an all‑in‑one cartridge: paper and ribbon live together in a single unit that you swap out from a side compartment when it runs dry. The physical paper measures 97 x 53 mm, with a usable image area of 86 x 53 mm. The starter kit includes a 10‑sheet cartridge; Godox offers larger replacement cartridges separately.

There’s a neat finishing touch built in: an automatic lamination stage that lays a clear protective film over each photo as the last step. Think of it as a tiny raincoat for your prints — it helps against water, smudges, dust and the slow wear of everyday handling, which matters if you want keepsakes that last longer than an afternoon.

Pairing and printing are simple. The P100 connects via Bluetooth, and if your phone supports NFC you can pair with a single tap. All control happens through the Godox Cam app on iOS and Android, where you’ll find editing tools, filters, collage layouts and even an ID photo maker that formats images to passport and visa sizes with background color options. Easy edits. Fast prints. Minimal fuss.

Who is this for? Casual shooters, event hosts, and travelers who want physical photos without hauling bulky gear. The trade-off is obvious: the cartridge system keeps things tidy but limits batch printing unless you stock spares. Still, for about $100, a printer that fits in a pocket, pairs instantly, and protects each print on the way out feels very of the moment — a Polaroid for the smartphone era.

If you frequently hand out photos on the go or need quick, passport‑ready prints, the P100 is worth a close look.
