simple no-nonsense digital printer that costs less than most Rivals while delivering Superior Paint quality though pricey paper means it'll cost you in the long run printing is slightly slower than most Rivals at around 50 seconds but this is due to it being a Dye sublimation printer which means that the print ejects in and out at least four times to add each layer of color plus a protective film the way it is worth it as print quality is overall extremely high and more detailed Vivid and striking than you would get from a quicker digital instant printer the accompanying app is simple and user friendly with options to customize photos with frames filters aspect ratio changes text and stickers but few unnecessary Thrills to over complicate things it also syncs with any image folders on your phone plus images from WhatsApp Instagram Facebook Twitter and more the only downside is that paper is more expensive than the zinc wrench used in most travel products so running costs over time will add up but we think the trade-off is worth it given the far superior print quality number four Instax Mini link 2. the Instax Mini link 2 uses fujifilms Instax Mini film the mini link looks great
