Hi·Print 4x6 Photo Printer

got a 2x3 and a 4x6, i advice getting the 4x6, the larger format is just nicer

FWIW I love my 3x2 Hi-Print. The lab will optically capture your phone screen onto Polaroid integral film and develop it. You’ll have all the character of Polaroid but at a cost of around $2.50 per image. But it will look and feel like a Polaroid. Nice keepsake or gift. The Hi-Print will allow you via an app to wirelessly print a 4x6 dye sub image. Really nice quality IMO, and about 50 cents per photo. The print will look and feel like something you got from the one hour photo or drugstore. I’d go for the Hi-Print. Good luck!

I 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.

Look 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.

I’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.

I like this printer, but if you a looking for something to look like a Polaroid, the Lab is what you would want to get. I have both . In my opinion The Hi-Print is the better printer, but The Lab is more fun to use. So I guess it comes down to, do you want the picture to look exactly like the picture on your phone every time you print, or do you want to have an imperfect picture from your phone that has the nostalgic Polaroid feel?

I’ll add this, because maybe my review sounds negative. I am going to buy the larger format version of this printer because I like it so much.

I went crazy when I started Hobonichi-ing and bought the Polaroid Hi-Print and the small Sprocket and while I do use them intermittently, I normally just size my pictures to the size I really want (sometimes smaller than the 2x3 size and sometimes larger), put a whole bunch together and print them out on heavyweight paper or sticker paper or photo paper. Depending on how I feel that day, lol. The novelty wore off quickly on those mini printers. 😢
