VTech KidiZoom PrintCam thermal printing paper refill pack (240 prints) with sticker rolls
Product description
What this refill pack is for
If you’ve got a VTech KidiZoom PrintCam, this thermal printing paper refill set is the sort of accessory you’ll quietly want to have on hand. The basic idea is straightforward: it provides the paper rolls the camera uses for printing photos straight away, without ink. It’s designed to keep the fun going for kids, especially when the novelty of “print now” starts turning into a daily habit.
On paper (and in practice, based on the way these systems are usually used), it’s a top-up for the PrintCam’s built-in thermal printer: you load the refill rolls, take a photo, and the camera prints it out instantly. The set also includes adhesive sticker-paper rolls, so some prints can be stuck onto folders, notebooks or anywhere a child wants to make their own little display.
Key features that matter in day-to-day use
This refill pack includes: - Regular thermal paper rolls for standard prints - Adhesive thermal sticker-paper rolls for prints that stick - No ink required, which helps keep things simpler for parents
The numbers given in the product details are also useful for judging value. The pack is described as capable of up to 240 regular black-and-white photo prints and up to 40 adhesive sticker prints. That means you’re not only buying “paper”, you’re buying a practical run of printing before you need another refill.
It’s worth noting that the regular photos are described as black-and-white. That’s not a deal-breaker for a kid’s camera—colouring-in is part of the appeal—but if your expectation is fully coloured prints straight off the printer, you may feel disappointed.
What you’ll notice when using it
Most of the time, the experience comes down to convenience: the camera is meant to take and print instantly, and this refill pack supports that loop. A typical micro-scenario looks like this: a child takes a few pictures around the house, prints them out, then uses the sticker rolls to make a “gallery” on a bedroom wall or a bedroom door. The adhesive prints are particularly handy for sticking somewhere immediately without needing extra craft materials.
Also, because the prints are thermal and ink-free (no ink required is explicitly stated), there’s less faff than ink-based systems. Still, like any refill, it’s not something you’ll use once and forget—you’ll need to store the remaining rolls sensibly and swap them when you run low.
Who it suits (and who may want to skip it)
This is a sensible purchase if you already own the KidiZoom PrintCam and want to avoid downtime. It’s also the kind of “hidden” gift that can be better than another accessory that might not get used immediately, particularly for children aged 5 and up (as stated for the KidiZoom PrintCam experience).
It may not be the best choice if you don’t yet have the PrintCam, because this is specifically a refill paper pack for that system. It’s also not ideal if you’re primarily after coloured photo printing—these refills are described as regular black-and-white photos, plus adhesive sticker prints.

Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you own the VTech KidiZoom PrintCam and want to keep printing without interruption—especially if you like the idea of kids sticking their printed photos on surfaces. The ink-free approach and the mix of regular and adhesive prints make it feel more like “creative time” than just consumables.
It might not be for you if you’re expecting coloured prints straight from the printer, or if you’re buying purely as a general paper accessory without the PrintCam. In those cases, you could end up paying for refills your camera can’t use.
