So how does it work? Simply insert the Instax Mini film and open up the printer. You just have to crank it manually to get prints out, so no batteries or electricity are needed. But with the Kiipix Portable Mini Printer, you don't have to.

Plus the printer uses all-in-one ink-and-paper cartridges, which makes it easier to operate than devices that require separate paper and ink.Įven the best iPhone printers generally need to be charged. Produced through a dye sublimation process, prints are vibrant, bright, and detailed, with strong colors, and you can even print straight from your social media accounts. With this range of options, you're sure to get it working with the minimum of fuss. So it's great that this printer also has three other ways to connect to your iPhone, via Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth.

Overall, this is a quirky yet intriguing little device, and we're not sure how many people would find its unique combination of features useful. There's a built-in flash, and a self-timer, and you can shoot as close as 10cm from your subject. Meanwhile, the camera itself sports a 28mm f/2, has a 4.9MP sensor, and lets you store up to 45 images internally, or more if you add a microSD card. Images from your iPhone can be moved, rotated, and zoomed in/out before printing, although you don't get any other editing features. Note that they're the same tiny size (1.8 x 2.4in) as the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link, number 5 on our list. The Mini LiPlay prints photos in 12 seconds, and you can print 100 photos on a single charge. So you really do have the best of all worlds. You can also control the camera via your iPhone if you need to do some remote shooting. And of course, you can connect it to your iPhone and print photos from there as well. However, it's better than that, because being digital, you can review your shot on screen first, before choosing to print it out.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay does the same trick of combining an instant camera and portable printer in one. Since the technology is basically the same across all of these devices, you'd think the results would be similar, but we found a surprising amount of variation when we tested different cameras and printers. Zink prints tend to have better dynamic range-meaning there is a broader range of color and tone in the image-compared with Instax prints, but they struggle to produce the rich blacks you get in Instax prints.

Zink printers are slower than Instax to spit out your images, but they're done the minute they emerge.

Zink produces more traditional prints that look like what you'd get from a professional printer (without the professional quality), instead of the Polaroid-esque big-bordered pics of Instax cameras. When the image prints, a pressure-based process mixes the ink around to produce the image. Instead Zink prints hold layers of ink in the paper itself. Zink is short for 'zero ink.' It eliminates the annoying need for (and running out of) ink cartridges in your printer. They produce Polaroid-style prints, but there's another option: Zink printing. We've covered the best instant-printing cameras that use Fujifilm's Instax technology for the past year or so. Film may have largely disappeared, but the photograph is sticking around.
