With gift giving season now upon us, I’m finding myself at odds not only over what to get for everyone but, also, what to give it in. I am a firm believer in the fact that half of the gift is found in its presentation. Yes, I am “that” girl; the one that spends hours neatly wrapping gifts and uses entirely too much tape. Whether it’s fancy, colorful paper or I’m getting crafty with plain brown craft paper, I am adamant about making it nice, making it pretty. Oftentimes, it is the tag that shines. Now, over the years (when it comes to gift tags) I’ve probably done it all… or so I thought. This year, I was introduced to a wonderful new company and product that will surely take my gift giving to a whole new level, ZINK.
The ZINK hAppy Smart App Printer – Yes! A printer! – opened up the doors to a great world of decorative possibilities. Surely, you’ve all tried printing homemade gift tags with your home printer and, of course, we’ve all seen the classic, store bought sticker gift tags, right? Well, the ZINK Smart App Printer is a wonderful combination of the two and then some.
With the ZINK hAppy Smart App Printer you can now print full-color gift tags (of course!), photos, labels, decorations, business cards, and so much more directly from your smartphone or tablet! And all of this, with no ink!
The portable, Wi-Fi app-accessory that allows you to print directly from smart phones and tablets. Just download the free ZINK Design & Print Studio app, load a ZINK zRoll (photographic-quality ZINK Paper in roll form), design, and then wirelessly print to the hAppy Smart App Printer.
The ZINK Design & Print Studio app helps you to create the perfect masterpiece. With thousands of professional art elements, such as frames, fonts, art, backgrounds, and tons of beautiful ready-made designs, your creativity with the ZINK hAppy Smart App Printer is just as infinite as your very own imagination. Add in their Idea Book and you can dream up a hundred more projects! With step-by-step instruction might I add! They even have a slew of great project ideas available online (like this holiday one), too!
I have had an incredible time coming up with and creating project after project with our ZINK hAppy Smart App Printer and my kids have had a blast, too! It is an absolute breeze to use. Simply hop onto the app via any smartphone, tablet, or iPad and get your creative juices flowing. Simply choose which designs you like best, create your own, add in photos, edit the text to your liking, paste pre-existing images, swap the colors, and do whatever your little heart desires. Here are a few things that we’ve made thus far:
The sticker backing makes it great for putting just about anywhere and on anything! Address labels are a great starter idea, too! And they’re especially helpful when Santa can’t have the same handwriting as Mommy (wink, wink!).
And, hey, if my little guy can manage creating this on his own then I’m quite sure anyone could easily do the same…

How stinkin’ cool is this!? I think this gadget alone would take care of SO many project ideas I have!
What a great idea! I would love to have a gadget like this. I could print out so many little things. Thank you for sharing!
This is a very nice Zink happy smart app printer that I can make a lot of wonderful creative things. I would have to learn how to use it, but once I get it going I would love to make some tags with it!
Oh this would be great for invitations. I usually hand write them all myself!
Thank you for the review!!
love the ideal of stickers
I’d love to have this, such a cool app, really would come in handy during the holidays! 🙂
Looks like a cool app! I would like to give it a try
This is great technology and looks like so much fun. I always like things that help me be more creative (because I need it). It’s got a lot going for it – size, versatility and function – can’t ask for much more than that.
This would be awesome to have! I like to make presents really pretty, even though I know that the paper is just going to be torn off in 1.2 seconds. 🙂
i like how compact the printer part is
OMG!!! I would be addicted the second it was in my hands. Are you sure they didn’t make it exclusively for me?
This is so cool. It would be great to have when you are scrap booking or for art projects my daughter is always working on.
What a cool little printer. Useful for so many little things. Thanks for the review.
That is one of the coolest things ever! I want one! Would come in so handy for so many uses.
That is so AWESOME!I would love to have one!
This is so cool!! Think of the creative uses!
thats so cute! i never thought of getting address labels made “from santa” ! it looks so official! adorable.
What a neat app! This would be perfect to wrap presents this time of year!
oh my gosh, that is so cool! and with no ink? that is even better since ink costs a fortune! thanks for the heads up on this it would make a great gift (or I’d keep it for me! lol)
Ive been wanting to startscrapbooking aboutmy grandkids and with the price and all the possibilities this would be great for a beginner.
I like this a lot. I wonder why it took so long to come up with this. I’m getting it — I have a lot of projects in mind that this would make SO much easier!
Ok this looks awesome! I am very excited that it prints directly from iphone and ipad! Thanks for the info!!
Maybe I’ll get a smart phone for xmas and could use this.
My husband could use this gadget for his home office!
It is such a cute little thing. I’d probably lose it very quickly.
Ohmahgerdness! That is crazy cool!! I have to have it!!!
That’s cool to do all of that with no ink. To bad I don’t have a tablet or smartphone.
What a neat idea!
This is a nice tool to have for whenever you want to print something cool.
Thanks for introducing Zink Happy Smart App printer, I can use this!
Yes, and I am THAT girl…the one that is so tech challenged I had no idea you could print anything at ALL from a smart phone. (I just got one finally).
I am all over this and have a sister in law who would go gaga over this. Am sure she already has seen them at JoAnn’s. this is something that might be even cool to share with several family members to get the use out of it and have a chance to brainstorm for some creative wedding, shower, baby, etc gift tags. Thanks
I love the idea of making my own gift tags! Makes it more personal!
I can see how this would be useful and fun to have, but I’m curious about how it works out as far as the money saved on ink vs. the money spent on their proprietary paper. Interesting review–thanks.
This is a cute little gadget and seems like a great and simple and easy way to make creative and personalized labels, etc..
Wow!!! That looks really cool.
What a great way to personalize items.
I love this, printer is compact and making stickers would be so cool for my sons and me!
I love that the Zink is so portable and easy to use.

This is the first I heard of Zink and I love the stickers! Thanks for letting us know about it.
all features are awesome … can’t wait to get one for myself
I could really use this!
I love the idea of designing and printing my own little labels and stickers. I’d print decorative labels and slap them onto nearly every surface that could accept them.
Oh wow! I would love this! So many things I love to do and so many craft things the kids could learn to do!
wow, this is extremely awesome.. I love getting creative! Love this!
This is so awesome! I love how you can print out stickers!
