Chrome Auto Print Via Bluetooth

This printer brings a new world to the joy of using Instax film. Via blue tooth, you can print images straight from your smart phone, or print the images you have previously edited on your smartphone. The quality is excellent.

LC61C is a nice color, but I have to admit that I mostly print the mono chrome to save ink. So LC61BK is my favorite, but LC61Y and LC61M are nice too. (If only they lasted longer or cost less).

I have been using Inkpress Photo Chrome RC Luster paper with my Epson R320 printer for 3 years now, and the results are amazing! The textured finish is even across the surface like a true photolab print, negating the need for a gloss finish cartridge feature on your printer. Colors are vibrant,blacks are deep, and detail is very good. I pimarily use the 4x6 paper, but have also used the 8.5x11 and 13x19 papers with equally pleasing results. The paper is sturdy, and I have not had any problems with warping or curling. If you are mounting your print with adhesive, the finish will damage (just like a regular photograph)if you get some on the front of the print, but I am otherwise hard-pressed to find fault with this product.

Read the fine print. This uses Bluetooth LE, and that requires an iPad3 or better. After wondering why it didn't work with either iPad2 here, I found that tidbit (which I had missed) in the fine print, hemmed, hawed, and opted to upgrade the iPad side of the system. It is a quality product, which on the one hand seems quite pricey for what is effectively a 2 button bluetooth keyboard, but on the other hand is much better made than whatever I might kludge up from a cheaper bluetooth keyboard with many more keys. The keys are lit, soft, and silent, and the device is considerably more affordable than some others in its niche - and with the keys on top, not over the edge, it works fine on carpets (some reviews indicate that is a weakness of some competing devices.) For hands-free page turning it really is ideal. Intended for foot operation, it is a bit larger than you'd expect from the pictures.

Pros: - Sound is more refined - Bluetooth 5 gives me the 8-12’ of extra distance from devices that I needed. - Connecting to the TV and iPhone at the same time is very useful. Whichever device is sending audio gets auto-selected. Better auto-connection to devices when first turned on. - Noise Cancelling is ~20-30% better with a side to side comparison. - Can be listening to TV and get a phone call from 2nd device. CONS: - Battery seems to fade faster (~10-15% faster than XM3) but probably due to the 2 added mics, extra bluetooth signal, bluetooth strength, and deeper, fuller sound quality. - Even with the new superior Bluetooth 5, some TVs (ex. 2015 Samsung LED) have continual audio glitches. (Not the headphones fault but rather a Samsung problem that may occur on other TVs as well). Love the updated XM4s and can’t wait to see the XM5s improve on the battery. Perhaps offer a second upgrade padding for we people with big heads and big ears.

So perhaps I was too quick to judge. I was having horrible battery life issues with my SL2-S and then I discovered that bluetooth was ON, which is fine, but not when Auto Wakeup is also ON. With this configuration on the SL2-S it will very quickly drain the life out of a battery even when the camera is switched off or asleep. Leaving both of these off significantly improves battery life and if Auto Wakeup is off bluetooth can remain configured ON and not drain the battery when the camera is switched off. Hope this helps others...

Nice printer for labels. The bluetooth allows you to print from your phone. This was very helpful in the warehouse.

I like it but the chrome does come off over time and I wish it had a flat side.

Love using this with the chrome box for meetings.

DO NOT SHIP VIA DHL - They charge ridiculous unexpected brokerage fees! Great classic headphones, still the best for audio mixing.
