Quality... yes, hazardous... absolutely! I rather the polaroid zip, wich all you need is the sheets of paper and that's it! After all, those mini photos are for the solely purpose of creating mini/portable memories, or stick them on your fridge. Thanks for the wonderful review!!
pretty hot that you're talking about the environment here! Always thought polaroid films added SO much to our trash. Will be steering clear from this model 😬
Thanks for the video Chris. This print seems nice but I don’t know I feel less « magic » to use it than and old polaroid 600. But could be fun ! So why not ?
I wanted to react on your other video about the polaroid mint (but got distracted I guess?) You can use the best paper in the world, but if your printer isn't up for the task, you'll get sh*t prints. Love your video's btw!!
My concern is that the cartridges are disposed of in the trash. If Polaroid offers some sort of recyclable cartridge program, I would definitely be interested. Our environment is already messed up as it is.
I'm in the market for a portable phone printer. Bluetooth connection preferred. What is a pocket, portable printer that is best for battery life, connectivity, and I easily could buy quality film prints at a physical store or online store in 2022 or 2023? Polaroid Hi-Print, HP Sprocket, Instax Mini Link or Instax Mini Evo?, Canon Ivy or Selphy Square or Kodak P300R???
I just got mine in the mail and I quickly realized I didn’t do the appropriate research before investing. Maybe “investing” is a stretch for some but for me $100 is a lot. Anyway, I have the Polaroid zip and I’ve been happy with it but it’s not working anymore. I love this technology because I scrapbook and this makes it so easy to put memories on paper. But the cartridge system is a huge turn off. That’s just much waste and not enough prints for the price. Thanks for your video. I really appreciate this content.
Well I wouldn’t know where to start since i dont know what it’s doing. But the zip has been out for a while so you could pick up a used one fairly inexpensively
Thank you for making this video :D I really liked the concept and the way it prints on paper...it looks so freaking cool to look at it create the print. But it's great that you mentioned the environmental impact :( Looking at the size of the print and all the waste it creates, I don't think it's very worth it. Sure instax minis produce alot of waste too, but I feel like it's more worth it at the end? I guess because it's an actual photo and not a print? not sure haha maybe that does not make sense But I still love the design of this little printer :) PS: Do you have any knowledge about the environmental impact of zink printers?
Glad you liked the video! As far as I know zink paper is way better for the environment since there’s way less waste it’s just the wrapper it comes in however the quality isn’t as good.
Evoking environmental impact of waste disposal is such a hipster-feel-good point that is blind to what is actually impacting the environment. As bad as landfill and waste disposal is, it is a miniscule issue compared to all the other shit that is going on environmentally - such as global warming, deforestation and destruction of ecosystem diversity which are genuine paradigm shifting crises rather than a "nice to solve" problem like landfilling. Focusing on waste whilst all the other shit is going on is like mowing the lawn when your house is burning down. Even in terms of your own, individual environmental footprint, it is a drop in the ocean. There are no solid calculations of how much space landfills take up across the globe, but there was one of how much space the US's waste for the next 100 years would take up in landfills (assuming the population doubles in that time) and it was 250 square miles. Which is a lot, but that's 0.000004% of the earth's landmass. The US accounts for 12% of the world's waste and landfilling has been around for just over 100 years (started in the late 1800s). Being very "generous" and assuming that waste production has been at modern rates since inception, that would put 0.000003% of the earth's landmass as landfill sites. Which by the way is a massively exaggerated number - waste generation has grown exponentially as time has passed - due to both increased populations and increased consumption and the estimate used above was based on future (higher) waste generation than modern or historical numbers. Also FYI, instax minis are digital cameras with a dye sub printer attached. They aren't like polaroid cameras - where it is the physical exposure that creates the image on the film. With Instax, it is a printer doing it after the photo is taken digitally. So you aren't getting any more of an "actual photo" with Instax compared to using a portable printer.
Hi Chris. This video gave me a hint of how a certain magic trick was performed (on stage). I am sorry I cannot reveal which magic trick I am talking about. I thank you very much for this video. If you please take a look at "Penn & Teller fool us".
The chances of someone finding the empty cartridge and Opening it up then looking at what was printed is probably a million to one,if not a billion to one!
Mmmm , I was thinking of getting one of these mini printers for scrapbooking but from the prices of the wee papers I'll stick to my normal printer and photo paper and spend my money on million packs of instant film😅
@@JustAnotherChris definitely not expensive but for the purpose I would personally use it for, it so much cheaper to print photos on photo paper for sooo cheap😀
that didn't make sense, I meant that i would use it to orint photos to scrapbook with and i can do that a lot cheaper with my printer and photo paper😅😂
Hey Chris Would you do review of Instax mini link printer i would love to see a comparison over other printers you have and I think its a good video idea!
I just got one a few days ago. How do i adjust the pictures on the app to fill out. Im trying to print old pictures thats been on my phone of family members and many of them are small on screen and it's not letting me adjust to fill out.
I might pick one of these up, my only issue is that $17 for 20 shots is expensive for 2x3. I agree, the ZINK paper is crap. Returning my Canon Ivy Cliq 2, so a Dye Sub 2x3 printer would be great. Im also returning my Kodak Smile Classic camera too because its ZINK but I LOVE the size, which is 3.5 x 4.25 Its larger than any Polaroid or Instax prints, its awesome, they just need a Dye Sub version of it. The camera is huge, no reason why they chose ZINK for it. But at least I have the Kodak Mini Shot 3 Retro which is a Dye Sub 3x3 camera/printer.
@@CrucialStuff it’s terrible quality, especially on skin tones. It looks like you made a bad copy of a photo on a cheap color copier. You really just have to use one to get it.
I got a Mint Printer today and I'm struggling with it. It won't even power on. The charging light is blinking between red and green. I'm starting to think this model is faulty. Any idea on what to do?
@@JustAnotherChris Mint Printer, and yeah I might have to do that. Edit: I managed to get it to power on but it was printing blanks. Frustrating day with this. I'm definitely returning it now.
@@JustAnotherChris Do you think they’ll take the same cartridges? Prom photos they essentially look the same, but the Kodak ones are a lot cheaper in my local store.
So what my plan is to do with this is I want to start taking pictures of for people you know and sell each picture for five bucks a piece it's not a lot but it's not a little so that's $100 per pack so that's making me more profit but if you want special pictures that can also bump up the price maybe here and there print something I want but yeah use it for that and eventually over time if I'm able to make enough money from it buy more than one and miss it easier to print more often and more stuff

Awesome video review! Answered all of my questions, thanks! I’m using this item for a photo booth at a baby shower!
That’s great!
Fantastic review, only one I have seen to mention both the environmental impact (good bit of extra waste) and also the security impact!
Quality... yes, hazardous... absolutely! I rather the polaroid zip, wich all you need is the sheets of paper and that's it! After all, those mini photos are for the solely purpose of creating mini/portable memories, or stick them on your fridge. Thanks for the wonderful review!!
Exactly!! I couldn’t agree more
whats the difference between this one and the polaroid zip?
pretty hot that you're talking about the environment here! Always thought polaroid films added SO much to our trash. Will be steering clear from this model 😬
As long as I’m hot! That’s something I haven’t heard in a LONG time. But yes I agree
Thanks for the video Chris.
This print seems nice but I don’t know I feel less « magic » to use it than and old polaroid 600. But could be fun ! So why not ?
Totally agree. But it definitely has a place yet I won’t be using it often

I hit follow button after watching this video for like 20 seconds lol
Heck’s yeah!

Hmmm interesting 🧐
I really want to buy this for scrap booking although it is a little pricey but it seems worth it
Hmm well it might worth it in that case
thats what i was gonna use with it as well and was happy to hear it can be a sticker too
Waste and privacy issues…No bueno…total show stopper. Thanks for your review!
The chances of someone finding the empty cartridge and Opening it up then looking at what was printed is probably a million to one,if not a billion to one!
I’m just another Kris too. Cool video mate.
Hey there!!! Glad you liked the video! Hope to see you around more in the future.
Mmmm , I was thinking of getting one of these mini printers for scrapbooking but from the prices of the wee papers I'll stick to my normal printer and photo paper and spend my money on million packs of instant film😅
It’s not bad compared to most. It’s $16 for 20 pictures. Not great but not horrible I would say.
@@JustAnotherChris definitely not expensive but for the purpose I would personally use it for, it so much cheaper to print photos on photo paper for sooo cheap😀

I hear you! I’m picking up what your laying down lol 😂
Hey Chris Would you do review of Instax mini link printer i would love to see a comparison over other printers you have and I think its a good video idea!
I will make note of that
I just got one a few days ago. How do i adjust the pictures on the app to fill out. Im trying to print old pictures thats been on my phone of family members and many of them are small on screen and it's not letting me adjust to fill out.
Could make some art with that sheet of leftover colors. But yea, I'm not a fan of 'apps' needed to print.
I was going to mess around with standing all 3 film colors on top of each other and see what happens or even put a light behind it.
Screw the environment,,, if it’s Polaroid I’m all in!!!
Hmmm I have mixed feelings about that
Hi I have one but can’t figure out how many prints are left in my cartridge, is there a way to know? Thanks
Unfortunately not. You have to remember. Kinda a bummer
I might pick one of these up, my only issue is that $17 for 20 shots is expensive for 2x3. I agree, the ZINK paper is crap. Returning my Canon Ivy Cliq 2, so a Dye Sub 2x3 printer would be great.

What's really the problem with ZINK? asking to learn :)
@@CrucialStuff it’s terrible quality, especially on skin tones. It looks like you made a bad copy of a photo on a cheap color copier. You really just have to use one to get it.
@@michaelbell75 thanks for the reply 😃
Zink is fun but it’s not a great Quality product
Is it sticky on the back, so that you could use it in journals? 💗
Yes it is!
@@JustAnotherChris oh thank you sm uwu
I got a Mint Printer today and I'm struggling with it. It won't even power on. The charging light is blinking between red and green. I'm starting to think this model is faulty. Any idea on what to do?
Mint printer or hi print? But either way maybe send it back and get another one
@@JustAnotherChris Mint Printer, and yeah I might have to do that. Edit: I managed to get it to power on but it was printing blanks. Frustrating day with this. I'm definitely returning it now.
Aren’t this and the Kodak Mini 2 Retro Print basically the same device, just with different branding?
As far as I know yes
@@JustAnotherChris Do you think they’ll take the same cartridges? Prom photos they essentially look the same, but the Kodak ones are a lot cheaper in my local store.
I would assume yes but I haven’t tried it myself just yet.
Has a brand other than Polaroid made compatible paper for this printer yet?
Nope
@@JustAnotherChrisleave it to polaroid to make it 3rd party-proof
What is the best affordable portable photo printer?
I recommend this one. I had a built-in battery and prints 4x6. amzn.to/4aBU5d6
What was the yellow camera printer?
I think your talking about the Polaroid Mint camera
I want to like the video but it’s 69
can you put normal polaroid film or no?
Unfortunately no you can not.
Just ordered mine got 2 packs pf 20
Ill say what they're for later gotta get back to work
So what my plan is to do with this is I want to start taking pictures of for people you know and sell each picture for five bucks a piece it's not a lot but it's not a little so that's $100 per pack so that's making me more profit but if you want special pictures that can also bump up the price maybe here and there print something I want but yeah use it for that and eventually over time if I'm able to make enough money from it buy more than one and miss it easier to print more often and more stuff
