instax mini Link 4+

I really recommend this printer, especially if you hate having to bring a big heavy camera everywhere. It is a great way to give away instax pictures as a gift, and I can use pictures from 3 years ago! I really think this is a great product, and I was scared that I shouldn’t have gotten it at first because of seeing all the reviews, but the problem with that is because they weren’t using it correctly. You need to charge it for almost 2 hours and it will connect to the device immediately. Please don’t judge this by the reviews.

Also, I don’t think the quality is that bad, I was comparing the quality to the quality of my instax camera, and I have to admit that the printer doesn’t turn out as good as the camera, but the quality is still good. That isn’t a problem for me anyways because I usually just put it on my wall, and you can’t see the difference when it’s up there.

This is best media to enjoy our memories if we get an EMP bomb ( no electronics- we lose the internet and all emergency connections online- meaning we need 1980’s tech( ham radios, landline phonelines connected like cable tv )
With this is like investing in gold - with photos in your hand - they’re real. Everything digital ( bank accounts will not be available ) phone photos will either be gone or not assessable until satellites signal’s fixed and power stations(years)
Save your photos people!

Updating my review because Instax fixed the print quality issues we were having after the June 2021 update. This July update has us back to printing successfully and we appreciate the response! It’s unfortunate that it took a month and quite a lot of wasted films (aka money) but it’s fixed.

I will say that I really wish that the prints didn’t lose all detail in the lighter colors. The range of colors on this printer are super limited and I don’t know if that’s due to the app or the chemical processing itself. The results are at times disappointing, especially with skin tones.

All in all the prints are charming in a retro way. It has its limitations but I’m happy to have it! Hint: buy the film in bulk if you can. Price per print is much more affordable this way.
