Fujifilm - mini LiPlay

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

I had the instax liplay, i could take photos on it or send the photos from my phone to my camera for printing

Canon Selphy printers have an SD card slot, but they're BIG. The best option is a hybrid Instax camera like a Instax LiPlay Mini or Instax Mini Evo. They are easy to use and perfect for a child.

Eu tenho a Instax Mini Liplay, que é a câmera + impressora. Hoje eu prefiro muito mais a parte da impressora do que a câmera simplesmente pq não precisa ficar carregando a câmera de um lado para o outro. Tiro uma foto com o celular ou pega a foto de alguém e quando chegar em casa, se valer mesmo a pena, imprime. A parte da câmera era muito mais legal nos primeiros meses, todo mundo fica feliz de tirar uma foto com a Instax, mas depois que eu comecei a me dar conta do tanto coisa pra levar em todo role que eu fosse, passei a deixar em casa. Levar a câmera também é muito mais caro pq quase todo mundo vai querer uma foto, então haja filme, mas se vc tá comprando uma Instax, distribuir as fotos é 50% da diversão.

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 🤷‍♀️

I currently use an Instax mini printer and I love the look for my best prints. However as I’m hoping to memory keep more with photos + writing, I have done the math here including pros and cons. This is in Canadian dollars with no tax or shipping included, so it’ll vary by the region or country you live in. I haven’t compared it with other mini printers out there but I’m leaning heavily towards the Kodak because of the print quality (not zink so less fading over time) https://preview.redd.it/n4vu8p9ycv9e1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfa3a56b3786199c83d23be33cd02588135d5af4

for me if colored, instax talaga sis

I've always used Instax printers. I have the Mini, Square and Wide, so there's a bit of variety, and I like how it gives a little retro "Polaroid" flair to the journal. I'll either glue them in, use washi tape, or I'll get photo corners off of Temu or Amazon and put them in that way. I like the different sizes, and I can use different coloured washi or photo corners to bring a pop to them as well.

OP, I know this was for Christmas, and I saw that you already bought yours—I hope you like it! But for anyone reading this in the future, that’s my take. I was at a photo fair in November and had been thinking about the Canon QX10 for a while. So, I went to the Canon stand, asked about it, and inquired if anything new was coming with USB-C. The representative told me, "You're in luck—we're just launching the QX20." I really liked what I saw. There was also a Fujifilm stand with the Instax portable printer, where they allowed you to print as much as you wanted, with options for both portrait and square formats. I personally wanted something for my photography business. My idea was to give a photo to a client at the end of a shoot by sending it from my camera to my phone, doing a quick retouch, printing it, and handing it over as a thank-you gesture. I noticed that Instax prints took more time to develop, and since they use the same paper as their Polaroid-style cameras, I was concerned I’d end up with a lot of hit-or-miss prints, resulting in wasted money on paper. So, I preferred the Canon QX20. However, the next day, when I looked at photos from the Instax, I realized they had much better colors and overall quality. They felt more like real photos, with a glossy layer on top. Now, I kind of regret not going with that option. But if you need something instant, you might prefer the Canon QX20 or a similar ink-based printer. If you don’t mind the wait, the Instax is worth checking out.
