Instax Share SP-2 Mobile Printer (Gold)

This is way better than an instax, which was always messy and hard to get better pictures given the light and settings. With this, sending prints from your cell phone is super easy and you can always choose the best pictures. I got rid of my instax after buying this printer

I just bought this last week and I have only tried it a few times. I agree with the other positive reviews. I also have the zip, I like that too, but the software was changed and hopefully it is fixed.This connects to wifi and it connected easily. It is fast and the prints are nice. I also have the Fiji instant camera and this and the camera both use the same film. Photos come out nicely and color is good. Portraits that I printed were lighter in skin tone, the two I printed had little shadows and if you want to look somewhat flawless, this may be the way! Honestly, it may have been that those photos were on the light side.I like the idea that you can replace and recharge the battery. Some people have complained about other printers when the rechargeable batteries stopped holding the charge. This should avoid all of that.Lastly for now, the software is great. Easy to find your photos and nice edit and frames. Easy to use, no crashes.I used this on an iPad Air and older iPhone that does not have the very latest software.Not sure what it is. But, it does work on iPads. May depend on the software tho.Nice little printer. Have aging parents and grandmother I'm seeing how important it is to them when I send photos. They don't use the net. We have tried to nudge them. But no. Even if I send pictures to my sisters, they can show them to our parents . But it's not like have their own photos right there.You can buy multiple photo albums here on Amazon that hold this size print. Also bought kits that have small frames and other goodies for these prints. Good idea overall.

I already own the previous version (SP-1) of this printer which I enjoyed using for travel and gatherings. I kept my eye on this SP-2 printer for its slightly higher print resolution, newer print technology, and included rechargeable battery, . I recently found a great price on this here on Amazon and knew I had to get this printer.I've read the reviews here and on other sites and some folks mentioned it was not worth the upgrade when you consider the price. That is something to consider.Now that I have this SP-2 in hand, I can say it was worth the upgrade for me. As a test, I printed the same pictures on both the SP-1 and SP-2. I can clearly tell a difference between the two. This is where the SP-2 shines above the SP-1: pictures come out with a bit more detail, better exposure, and colors seem to pop more.The included rechargeable battery is the Fujifilm NP-45 which is the same battery I have and use for my Fujifilm XP-80 P&S waterproof camera. I like it when I have existing batteries I can use and keep on hand for this printer. I also have a 3rd party charging cradle for this battery so I can avoid charging the battery while inside the printer and not have to worry about a cable dangling from the printer.The inner workings between the two printers are different. The SP-1 uses LED while the SP-2 uses OLED. In the SP-1, there is a flat small ribbon cable attached to what looks like a scanning bar. In the SP-2, there is no cable and just a flat black surface.I'm really happy with my purchase and enjoying the results I'm seeing in my pictures.* NOTE: I wanted to add that I also own the Polaroid Zip printer that uses the ZINK paper. While I enjoyed using this printer as well, I find that I go back to using the Fuji printer. I like the look and feel of the Instax paper better than the ZINK paper. The Instax has the "Polaroid" look and feel. The ZINK paper has adhesive on the back. I find my images are more vibrant on the Instax while the ZINK paper tends to make everything look flat and the images tend to look dark. The Fujifilm Instax is a better product and a lot of fun to use.

I own a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 for two years and I love the idea of getting my pictures print out right away. However, the success rate of getting a decent picture is not high. Whether I take the picture myself or ask other people to take it, the pictures just don't come out quite right. It is either because the exposure is too high/low or I'm too close/far from the camera. The films are so expensive and it's such a waste. That's why I decided to get the printer.The printer is amazing! I love how I get to choose the pictures I want to print out. The printer gives it a nostalgic look. I like how I can adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation to give my pictures a different look. I usually set the contrast lower and the brightness higher because the pictures usually print out darker. I posted some pictures I print out using the SP-2 as examples.I would choose the printer over the mini 8. Although the printer is $100+ more, I think throughout the time the films I wasted on mini 8, the printer is a better investment. I hope this helps you making your decision!

I got this product for my friend as she loves pictures. The printer is really simple to use as you just plug in the fujifilm film and connect your phone by wifi and can print away. The fujifilm app gives you alot of editing options inside and it has a reprint option so you can share with your friends the same photo. Photos come out really quick and the quality is really good, same quality as the other fujifilm cameras. The printer is a better gift than the camera as with the camera you can make a bunch of errors and waste the expensive film, but with the printer you can see and edit the photo before printing knowing it'll be a good photo. Recommended if you're looking for a gift for a friend.

Totally love this compact printer.. picture quality is really really good. It is so much fun to see the pictures develop right in front of you.. This can be carried anywhere..comes with a charging cable and a battery which you can connect to your phone charger. Cons : takes only Mini shots and the films are expensive.

Muy contenta con esta impresora.Hay cosas que tomar en cuenta para mejor aprovechamiento de tus películas instantáneas.1) Mientras más definidas sean tus fotos se verán mejor, ya que si están borrosas cuando imprimas se verá como un efecto de tinta manchada con agua en esas zonas.2) El filtro de instax para corregir color antes de imprimir es muy útil para fotos oscuras, sin embargo las fotos bien iluminadas pueden tener el efecto de sobre exposición con el uso de ese filtro.3) La calidad de impresión de este aparato es mucho mejor que el uso de la cámara mini 8, ya que tiene mejor definición. Eso sí, el efecto vintage es menos notorio/casi nulo.Para mí vale más la pena esta impresora que la cámara, ya que es más ligera y compacta, además que puedes escoger la foto, rotación, imprimir efectos, etc.

Had recieved the product a bit lateBut it was worth the wait.The printer looks beautiful and is pretty compactPrint quality is awesome.Chargeable battery makes for easy to carry it everywhere.Adding a magnetic strip at the back of photo makes it a beautifull fridge addons

Muy buena impresora para cartuchos de instantáneas. A mi novia le gustó mucho y ya imprimió un cartucho completo SIN PROBLEMAS. Fácil conexión a su celular y muy rápida para imprimir. No olvidar que tiene un diseño muy bonito y es compacta <3.
