Fujifilm instax mini Link 2 space blue

The INSTAX mini Link 2 is a useful portable printer for your phone that uses the popular mini instant format. Like all INSTAX printers and cameras, the paper emerges after about 15 seconds with the image gradually fading into view around 90 seconds later. No need to place the printer on a flat surface or to shake the developing print either - as soon as it pops out you can throw both into a bag or pocket and move on. The benefit of an INSTAX printer over the traditional instant cameras is you get to choose which images to print and whether to edit them first. You can also print anything in your phone, including photos copied from a bigger camera. The new Air features on the mini Link 2 are certainly fun. I enjoyed waving the printer around to paint over a live image, like a digital spray-can, even though it felt a bit awkward one-handed. The petal, bubble and sparkle effects are super cute, while the laser pen lets you light-paint with ease. Are they gimmicks aimed at getting you to buy and burn-through more media? Sure! But equally they are a lot of fun and since the printer itself is only a few pounds or dollars more than the original model, I’d recommend the Link 2 version for the novelty factor even if you intend to mostly just use the basic print function.
