    I was looking at both, but I already have a good photo printer. It takes time to switch the paper, adjust your image sizes, etc. I wanted a quick way to print some stuff, but not too worried about excellent quality (on-screen will always be better). So comparing both, the Zink prints great images, but the pics are “regular” pictures, fragile, paper images. The Instax Mini has a Polaroid-style picture result, warts and all, but it’s durable, more of a keep-sake. Handing someone a little durable memento, that can be hang, put in your fridge, written on, etc. is my goal. The Zink prints don’t have that same feel.

      Thanks this comment made make up my mid for the instax wide. I want something durable even it's going to cost a little bit more, like to have the "right" feel

      the kodak is NOT a Zink style printer.

      The Kodak printer laminates the photos. According to marketing durable to 100 years.

      I agree with you.. I bought ther instax and then I found out that the kodak was better but I am satisfied... probably because I was unconsciously looking for something with a vintage style instead of something realistic. But is just my point of view

      Polaroid is not Fuji Instax though

      Instax is more fun to print a memory there and then.
      Even the lower quality makes it appealing because people don't need to be so self aware if the made a funny face or their hair was a mess.
      If you want quality photos for the fridge or an album. Kodak seems superior.

    In India there is an issue with the kodak cartridge availability but Instax is easily available. I really liked the kodak print quality but I am very confused due to its unavailability of cartridge. Please suggest which one I should buy Kodak or mini link.

    Hi. Brilliant and complete review; thank you. It will be really useful for my future shopping :-)
    I have a question though: have you compared the print outs of the kodak and an instant square printer ? Since the size of the photos are very similar, I was hesitating…
    Txs again for the great work !!

    What do you think is causing paper jams and printer errors on the Kodak mini 3. Is it a bad design of the cartridges or the printer ? I'm loving the quality of the Kodak prints, but find it so frustrating that it's so unreliable.
