Exciting New Accessories for the SWIMMER Mini Photo Printer

In a delightful collaboration, Canon Marketing Japan has announced the upcoming release of a new set of interchangeable plates and photo paper designed by the popular merchandise brand, SWIMMER. Set to launch in early August 2026, this collection will be compatible with the mini photo printer, the iNSPiC PV-223.

A Closer Look at the SWIMMER Series

The SWIMMER brand has earned a devoted following since its inception in 1987, showcasing a wide range of products such as clothing, accessories, bags, and stationery, all adorned with cute motifs of animals and sweets. After a brief hiatus that ended in 2018, the brand made a triumphant return in 2020 under the management of Patiz, appealing to both legacy fans and new customers alike. By fostering creativity and self-expression through their charming designs, SWIMMER encourages people of all ages to enjoy cute and whimsical products.

What’s in the New Set?

The newly released set, known as the SWIMMER Collaboration for iNSPiC PV-223, includes three distinct designs of interchangeable plates along with a pack of 50 pieces of ZINK photo paper. Each design caters to diverse tastes, featuring options such as character themes, cherry motifs, and floral & fruit patterns.



The ZINK photo paper, known for its sticker-like quality, allows users to print images directly from their smartphones, affixing them to notebooks, planners, or other personal items. Note that this exciting new product set does not include the iNSPiC PV-223 printer but is designed to enhance the existing printing experience.

Enhancing the Experience with Canon’s App

In addition to the physical products, Canon will be introducing a limited-time offer within the dedicated Canon Mini Print App. Users can expect to find customized SWIMMER-themed frames and stamps available for use, enhancing the fun of creating personalized prints. This feature will be available from the launch date through July 31, 2027, providing ample opportunity for fans to create their unique prints.
