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.
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!

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.
bunfloofI’ve tried the Canon Ivy, HP sprocket, and Polaroid Hi-Print and can’t recommend the Polaroid Hi-print enough! The photo quality is way better than the others and the sticker paper is way thinner than the others so it doesn’t bulk up your hobonichi as fast! The trade off is that the refills are more pricey however.
CatSuper5013I used a Polaroid Hi-Print before, but the sticker paper’s adhesive was terrible, so I had to use double-sided tape—super annoying when you’re trying to keep your planner tidy. I barely used it. I just found a new mini printer I saw on facebook—Inkwon Tag. It does color printing, and from the sample pics, the print quality and stickiness look promising. I’m going to give it a shot and see how it works!
