Mini Shot 2 Retro C210R

I have the kodak Stel and LOVE it.

I got the Kodak retro two days ago and am really happy with it. I've already been using it to use in my journals. they are much thinner than polaroids. my only complaint is that the app is a bit dodgy and annoys me sometimes, but maybe I just have to get used to it a bit longer.

I have this as well, and im a huge fan. I like that the film is pretty cheap. you have to use an app on your phone to do the printing. no ragrats here!

yeah sometimes I do wish there was an option for sticker paper. ive only had mine for like one month, but I've gone through like two boxes of film. I'm going back and doing a journal for my summer travels and printing out hella pics. sometimes charging can be annoying, and overheating. it is an inconvenience, but its small compared to how much enjoyment and value im getting from the printer. I found the best deal to be on amazon. you can get it for cheaper during prime deal time but I think that just passed

The selphy I have is a 4x6 printer. Not the best size for an A6. My pocket printer is a Kodak Retro Mini 2 (dye sublimation) and I’ve had it 2.5 years (I love it so much) after much disappointment with several zink printers. Hope this helps.

myth buster for op: sharpness isn’t what ruins home photo prints, it’s how badly cheap inkjets handle color layering. they just muddy anything with shadows or warm tones. that’s why people in this sub keep sending newcomers toward either ecotanks or dye-sub options depending on budget and size. Id rec this [kodak mini](https://deo9gr5ha90bn.cloudfront.net/?q=DXMM1123) one for small prints and journaling stuff, . not the machine for giant landscapes obviously, but for hand-sized prints and quick album itll be okay.

I tested out the Kodak mini retro 2 and canon ivy. Ultimately for my needs and ease of use I picked the ivy. The Kodak photos were too thick for my liking and I liked the sticker paper for the ivy. And when traveling the ivy is much more compact esp with the refills. I also preferred canon’s app, esp for collaging photos if I wanted to print multiple on one sheet. You have way more control in terms of reframing/editing them. For printing,I found that even tho it cuts off the bottom slightly, it was more accurately framed than Kodak which will randomly crop in on the sides or bottom. Though there are blue tint issues with the ivy, I’ve learned how to color correct my photos before printing, so it’s no problem. I also noticed a few times with Kodak because it runs the photo thru the dye sublimation process, it can easily get misaligned and I wasted a few sheets bc of that (might’ve just been my machine tho) I was concerned about the zink longevity and so really wanted to love the Kodak. But all my photos go in a journal that’ll remain closed for the most part. And I guess if I really care then I’ll print with an actual printer

I use the Kodak mini 2 retro, it prints 2x3 and I’ve been really happy with it. Comparable price to other handheld printers like the HP sprocket. It connects wirelessly to the app, allows for photo editing, border/borderless options, and uses 4 dye sublimation color layers instead of ink. Always cool to watch it do the color layers one by one!

The Kodak Mini 2 Retro is my favorite

I have a Sprocket, a sprocket panorama and a Kodak mini retro 2. In my opinion, the Kodak is better quality. I also have a little Phomemo for written pics

I have 3 and my favorite is my Kodak mini retro 2 .

look for mini printers that print with sublimation dye! the ones people don't like are printed with zink paper (so like color thermal) which doesnt last as long if you leave them out in the light (might be ok if you leave them in the dark) the kodak mini retro 2 or polaroid hi print, which use sublimation dye, are what i use (and they also use interchangeable paper!)

I just wanted to share that I, too, have the Kodak Retro Mini 2, and it is defective, and Kodak has been awful. I reached out to them more than a week ago about a warranty claim / replacement, and they have completely ghosted me so far. Every image prints with a grey-ish box along the center/middle of the print for most of the image. There's just 0.25" on each side that prints fine / outside the grey box. I didn't notice it at first when I got it in July because I had so many dark background images. But recently I had light backgrounds, which is when I realized. I looked back and saw it on all of them. My own research had pointed to buying a Selphy Square, but my phone is ancient and couldn't run/handle the app. It will run the Kodak app, which is the only reason I bought the Kodak in the end. I would not recommend it.

I have my Kodak mini retro 2, I really recommend it. The only downsides I would say are the cartridges you’d have to throw out after 10 prints (not very eco friendly but what is these days) and the terrible battery life lol. I mainly do mini scrapbooking in my TN notebooks at home so luckily it’s not really an issue. I just charge before I’m doing a journaling session

These are actually half the 2x3 prints, so not full prints. There’s a collage feature I use quite frequently from the Kodak printer app that allows you to print 2 smaller photos on one single 2x3 inch print. I use these if there’s a lot going on for my spreads :)
