AlliesBedroomi have the polaroid hi-print which i love! it uses the same mechanism as a traditional color printer (the yellow, red, cyan thing, so it’s not zink) so it comes out looking like you’d expect a photo to come out, and it’s on sticker backed paper. but i think it might be on the more expensive side compared to zink printers.
Floenssgot a 2x3 and a 4x6, i advice getting the 4x6, the larger format is just nicer
hollyslowlyI 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!

Persimmon_and_mangoI have this and like it a lot for journaling. It's dye sublimated and not ZINK, so the colors are true to image and will hold up better over time. It's a digital printer; the photos look like digital photos and not polaroids. They're sharp and vibrant, without the hazy/dreamlike vibe of polaroids. The one thing I do dislike about it is that the sticker adhesive is way too weak. I have to use photo corners to get it to stop peeling off my traveler's notebook pages.
ThatsTheMother_RickI have the Polaroid hi print 2 (only difference is the 2 has USB c) and it's very good
aimsaimeI have a Polaroid Hi-Print that was gifted to me, and I think the photos generally turn out well! I've only encountered a really small amount of printing errors (it stopped printing before finishing all the passes and would be missing one of the Cyan-magenta-yellow colors, but it looked like a cool filter actually). It's sticker paper, but I usually just keep the backing on and adhere it with tape. But nowadays, I generally use Google Photos now when I'm printing any photos since I usually have a lot I want to print. I'll put 4 photos into a collage and print 4x6 photos. I cut them to 2x3 (or 4x3) after they come in.
apple_forkLook at dye sublimation instead of zink printers! The quality will be better. I have a canon SELPHY Qx20 which I love but there’s also Polaroid hi print and Kodak mini 3 retro. The cartridges are super easy to use and if you’re worried about the ink making a mess or something it’s not like that at all.
