Fujifilm Polaroid Printer App

My previous Zink printer was the Polaroid ZIP printer.  It was a fine printer that was involved in many fun memories and moments.  However, the connection to a smartphone could be finicky at times and it kind of killed the spontaneity of wanting to get printouts fast while in the moment.  Plus, the app made it quite difficult to predict the color output of the photos.  This Canon camera printer solved all that.  It too can be paired with a smartphone to act as a printer.  However, the app is much better than the Polaroid one.  The other benefit is this can act as a standalone camera/printer.  It has a framing box (both in the front of the camera for selfies and in the viewfinder) so its easier to frame what you want to take a picture of.  It does have LEDs to light up subjects.  I do find the shutter button to be a little too easy to take photos.  A couple times, I accidentally took a photo even when I was just grabbing the camera or giving it to someone.  Battery life is much better than my Polaroid was.  However, I did notice at a party when I wanted to print a bunch of printers, the Canon did require a cooling period sooner than the Polaroid when I was printing a lot of pics (though this may be because the Canon app makes it more convenient to print photos faster while I had to prep photos in the Polaroid app).  White balance can be an issue with using the Canon as a standalone camera with pictures leaning toward being very cool (though to be fair, some of my testing was in an office with bad fluorescent lighting).  So if you want more precise colors, use it as a printer with a smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with my family having a Polaroid camera. This printer makes me feel so nostalgic. I love that I can instantly print pictures from my phone. My 4 and 5 year old also love it. This printer is really easy to set up. All you have to do is download the app. The app is really user friendly and helps to set everything up. I also love that the printer is rechargeable and doesn’t require batteries. When the picture initially prints out, it takes up to 1 minute for the photo to start developing. Once it starts developing it takes about 10 minutes for it to fully develop. I love this printer. It’s the modern version of a Polaroid camera.

I bought this printer for travel to replace my Fujifilm Instax SP-2 printer. I've used the Instax system for several years, but the new airport CT Scanners have been shown to fog film in a single pass (Kodak posted an advisory on Facebook to that effect). The Selphy printer system is not effected by the scanners. (Of course due to Covid-19, all my travel was cancelled anyway ...) Pros: (1) It works well. The prints are slightly better than I get from my Selphy. (2) The prints are thinner than the Selphy prints, and they come with a light adhesive on them. This works great if you keep a written journal of your travels, with prints pasted onto the pages. (3) It's rechargeable, and easy to use. (4) The prints are cheaper than the Fujifilm Instax Square prints (which are directly comparable to the Canon QX-10, but slightly more expensive than the smaller Instax credit card size prints (from the SP-2). (5) The Canon App is easy to use (but see the cons). Cons: (1) The printer comes with a trial pack capable of making only 3 prints! Initially, the printer supplies weren't even available. They are available now, but not as easy to find as the Instax prints. I assume this will change. (2) The battery is good for about 20 pictures; the battery on the SP-2 lasts much longer. (3) The Canon App is very basic - it can adjust the size of the print, and add some text, but it doesn't have any editing functions. It just selects the central part of your picture, so I use the iPhone Photos App to edit and crop before I use the picture. (4) You can't print directly to the printer from your camera. This only effects people using Fujifilm cameras.

I've always wanted a fujifilm install printer in wide so I got these as soon as I got it. It connects through Bluetooth through an app, which is awesome because it lets me edit photos with simple filters, edits, or stickers. It's nice and compact (easy for travel), is rechargeable, comes with a cord that attaches to the side, and a little stand. The pictures come out really nice too, my husband said it's better than the camera itself . I'm really happy with this purchase.

The photos turn out very nice. The Polaroid cameras are funner to play with but the Fujifilm instant photos look much better.

Works amazingly well with pogo polaroid printer

Most convenient pack for polaroid printer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you know someone with a fujifilm polaroid camera and you need to give them a gift, this is the perfect gift. Not only is it useful, its cute and looks great as wall decoration as well. I would definitely recommend trying the different designs for these films rather than sticking with plain boring white films.

Big fan of the Fujifilm instax film. Better size than the mini. More colorful than Polaroid. At $1 a film this isn’t cheap but is a reasonable price for instant cameras. Half the price of a Polaroid film so can’t complain.

Bought this for my Fujifilm instax polaroid camera, best price I found online. Very satisfied with my purchase. Package came quick and box was not dented at all, everything I bought was in great condition.
