Fujifilm - Mini Link 3

I chose portable photo printer. That way I’m not needing to carry another camera around just use the one on my phone. Love it. You can also edit the photos to make them look how you want (black&white or old school etc) 👍🏼

Instax mini link 3 🙂

I use my Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 3 to print pictures and add them to my diary, but I need to use double sided tape or adhesive to add them, and I feel like that makes it less conducive to adding many photos to a journal. I believe there is a printer that connects to your smartphone with photo paper that has an adhesive backing you peel off but I don't remember which smartphone photo printer has this feature, maybe someone else can enlighten us. Hope this helps!

I have the instax link mini 3. I was tempted by the wide, but the mini is super portable, and lets me give friends a photo they can keep, small enough to pocket or stick in their wallet or purse. Which is somehow nicer than sharing a digital pic. The print quality is excellent, but prints don't have the same look as an instax camera, they're pretty sharp which of course can be a good thing. For the link wide, I've only heard good things about it. Looking forward to your thoughts when you've used it.

I like the Instax ones but I use a LiPlay too, and a Fuji camera. Still, can work with other brands.

It is quite a different experience using say an Instax Mini vs the phone and a printer. And usually, especially with a kid, she may find the Instax camera a lot more fun and spontaneous. Puts more of the "instant" into the instant photo process. If not the camera, then something like the Instax Mini Link printer that she can carry around with her friends, not something you need to plug in etc.

I recently got the Polaroid Hi-Print 2x3 photo printer and really like it! I have an Android and use Google Photos. The only issue I've had is that it seems like I have to "forget" the Bluetooth connection and reconnect it each time I want to use it. I don't have that problem with the mini Link that prints photos in the old polaroid style, though, so it seems to just be a quirk. I like both of them!

Thank you so much for posting this review!! I now have 3 “mini” printers and the one I want to use the most is the one I’m growing to loathe, the Ivy 2 mini. The color is horrid compared to the real picture and I just don’t have the time, patience, or knowledge to adjust the color for every single print. The Instax Mini Link is somewhat better with color, but I often don’t want the Polaroid look for a photo. My third is the Selphy CP910 that I’ve had for YEARS. It’s a workhorse and truest to life as far as color quality, but it also takes a lot more work to print, since it prints bigger (4x6) and if I want smaller pics, I have to print several others so I’m not wasting paper. 😖 Not to mention it’s not portable - it has to be plugged in and is larger in size. I’ve been contemplating getting a Kodak or Sprocket, but the Sprocket seems comparable to the Ivy when it comes to color, so that’s a hard pass. The Kodak might be the way to go! This is super helpful. Just want to confirm - this is the Mini 2 Retro P210R?

I also bought the Instax Mini but i find myself using the Canon Ivy more.

I have a Fujifilm Instax Mini. Not sure what generation it is, because I looked it up on Amazon and the newer ones look very different from mine. I still love it though! You have to use their app to print photos but it’s easy to use.

Thermals fade, as others have noted. I have one of those mini instax kinda cameras, that pop out mini Polaroid style photos. The one I have also acts as a printer, I can send it pics from my phone to print. They hold up really well - but they are thicker than the thermal paper. I don’t like to use them in my regular journal because of the thickness, but in TNs that’s less of an issue.

I have the [Instax Mini](https://adorama.rfvk.net/o4NGOn) and Wide printers and they're really easy to use. You're really not going to find a 'cheap' option for the photo paper 🤷‍♀️
