Game Boy Printer

The Game Boy Printer is a small monochrome printer for the Game Boy handheld console .

The device was brought onto the market by the manufacturer Nintendo in 1998, and production was discontinued in 2003. It is connected to the Game Boy via the link port. The printing is done on self-adhesive thermal paper so that the prints can be used as stickers. Due to the use of thermal paper, no ink is required; if necessary, only new thermal paper rolls, the so-called printer paper , have to be purchased, which are available in different colors. Ordinary thermal paper can also be used if it is cut to size.

The Game Boy Printer came onto the market at the same time as the Game Boy Camera and was initially used to print out the photos taken with it. Game Boy games later appeared that supported the printer by enabling the printing of special images, high scores or other things, but this option was rarely used.
