- Hi my friends,
I received lots of questions on my IG when I posted this product on my stories. I hope I was able to answer all questions through this video. If I wasn’t, go ahead and leave any questions you may have down below & I’ll get back to you!
Instax Album
www.amazon.com...
A few years ago I got an instax camera, forget that Imma get this it has great quality
Yes! You’ll love it 🥰
Yes I’m getting it for my birthday
I was thinking about buying my gf an Instax camera for her brithday, but thank God I bumped into this video. I think this will be a much better gift. You kinda get the best of both worlds, smartphone quality picture taking with old school film printing. It doesn't get better than that imo.
@@_holajanet I saw that you "developed" the photo in the dark. Was that on purpose? If so, do you recommend doing this?
i have a crisis. i like this printer bc it looks rlly good and has that polaroid look, and i can just use pictures on my phone and i’ll know what it would look like beforehand, however i love the idea of having instant pictures as soon as u take it yk? like there’s just something special abt getting the picture as soon as u take it. ahhhh
Hahaha very true!
Fujifilm Instax Mini Liplay is both an instant camera and a printer that connects to your phone. Essentially you can take photos with the fuji camera which it then prints, and you can also choose photos from your camera roll on your phone that you want to print, which sounds like what you’re looking for.
The reason why I love instax films is because of the old school vibes that the film shows
Yes, same here! 🤩
I was just gifted one & I absolutely love mine! I agree that it’s a must have
Again thank you so much for your video I’m so glad more people are reviewing this printer
kitty_loves_god thank you for taking the time to watch & comment! I appreciate it 🙏🏾🤗
the pictures develop wayyyyyy better in red light (bc that’s how film is normally developed) so i recommend having the red LED string lights when you’re printing with this printer :)
Was considering the canon ivy but I think this changed my mind
Oyinda Oduyoye yeah girl! Depends what kinda look you’re looking for. If you enjoy the “vintage” look of the photos then def recommend you this one 🤗 plus you can find the little instax photo albums on amazon! I personally make one for every year to remember the special events. 🥰
OhhChetoss yes I love aesthetic things, my mind is still set on getting this one😊
Oyinda Oduyoye lmk how you like it when you get it! 😇
OhhChetoss I just got mine and I absolutely loveeee love love it❣️❣️
Oyinda Oduyoye yay!! I’m so glad you do! What color did you end up getting? 😇
I just got a mini link and I LOVE it. I’ve used more film than I probably will at any one time since I’m trying it out but it’s an easy learning curve.
Also with amazon, they won’t deliver this to all places so anyone looking to buy just keep that in mind. I had to order via ship to store through target in order to get one.
Hillary Louise haha seriously! Me too. I finished a whole pack when I just got it.
And thanks for that pointer! I didn’t know that amazon didn’t send to certain places. Thank you! 🤗
thank you sm for this video ! I was debating on which one to get but I love how cute this one looks
gguksuss thank YOU for watching 🙏🏾
My girlfriend bought me a blue one for my birthday hehe! I'm so happy with it. She asked me what I preferred and I just thought this one because it's perfect for needs. I just need to know what the image is gonna look like before it pops up 😅.
I paired it with my Fujifilm XT-100. I figured of I take good photos in a more controlled environment, any camera wouldn't honestly, but for a photographer nut like me, I wouldn't like the actual instax cameras at all. I JUST LOVE THAT FUJIFILM' COLORS!
You can even just use your phone and print it straight away. For those lazy snapshots that is great. I also like the sauce variety of options you can do with it. I'm a matt typical of person and pretty much slaps matt to everything I see 😂, so I love this feature where you can have a lot more freedom in getting the image you want out of this.
I’m so happy you liked it! 🙏🏾
I just bought one I'm really excited to get mine. Thanks for the demo 💕
You’re gonna love it! Thanks for watching 🤩
I’ve just recently got the same one as u did and I’m so thankful that u reviewed it. I printed my first picture and I wasn’t too sure about it until I watched this 😊
Nailah Ali im glad I was able to help! I hope you love it as much as I do 🤗❤️
OhhChetoss I love it so much! I’ve already printed loads of pictures 😂
Nailah Ali haha same! I was a little behind on my little photo book I have so I started printing all my pictures and I went through 3 packs 🙃🙃🙃🙃
white color is so pretty , thank you so much
Thank YOU for watching 😊
I'm getting one of these for xmas and I cant wait, I feel like I'll use this more than my instax mini camera!
Haha! That’s exactly what happened to me. I even gave it away because i no longer used it. 😅
Same
i like the quality. it actually looks like you took the pictures with a polaroid camera instead of printing out pictures with a white border
Yes! That’s my fav part about it 🤩
I have a pink one made a collage wall of the pics in my room❤️❤️❤️
Fashion Chameleon World I bet it looks so pretty! 😍
So I didn’t realize it came out in the last few months it’s pretty brand new but I was surprised at how many UA-cam videos they were on about it which was not many. Let’s put it this way most of the videos I could find on UA-cam were in a different language they were not in English and the very few videos I could find on UA-cam about this that were in English there wasn’t very many they are very short and didn’t explain a whole lot about the printer. What videos I could find convinced me I need one but there were still features on this printer that I wanted to know more about and there wasn’t really any videos about it like the whole party mode I’m still confused about that. Like I understand his printer is brand new but I’m surprised at how little people actually did videos about it like I’m just surprised when I didn’t realize it’s this brand new and I pick this one over all the other Fuji film printers because I like that it uses the same film as my camera I have arty have a camera that takes the mini film so I don’t have to go by a different film already have the film the meeting I could buy the film and either use it in the printer or the Polaroid camera that I have by Fujifilm so it doesn’t take a different kind I don’t buy two separate films that’s what really got me to want this I mean yes there are other ones that are probably cheaper by like $70 for other ones by different brands but then you’d have to get different type of film or paper or whatever for it. So I just went with this one because it’s by the same brand as my camera which I love and I don’t have to buy different film so that convinced me but I’m always one those people before I buy something I try to like look up on UA-cam a video to learn more about it and I was just disappointed there really wasn’t anything I think there were less than 10 videos maybe five at most a lot of them were in a different language so that didn’t really help or the video was too short and didn’t tell me much of anything
kitty_loves_god yes! I always try to review everything before I buy as well!
Thanks! getting it for my wife for our adventure book!
Yay! She’s gonna love it! 🙏🏾
Thanks. Clean review still covering all details
Evren Ulusoy thank you for watching 🙏🏾
Thanks for the review I will definitely get one😊
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
🔥🔥✔️ love this printer! Its littt
RUBEN HD same 🤪
I got it and it’s not connecting to my blue tooth and i saw the reviews and ppl also have this problem. do yk how to fix it
Camila Gallego no, im not sure how. Have you tried turning both the printer on and off as well as your phone? Maybe resetting it will help it. 😕
charge it, that fixed it for me
jesus christ, you are so pretty!!!
Thank you so much!!!
This is great thank you🤙🏼💥
tedmac95 thank you so much for watching! 😇🙏🏾
Can you link the photo albums you have for your prints?? Thanks! Your review helped me so much and now I love mine!!
I linked one of them 🥰🤍 the bigger one that I have says “currently unavailable” on Amazon, sorry! And I am so happy you love yours!
2 questions!
1: Which color do you recommend pink or grey?
2: Does it come
With the film thing??
SerenityAqua 123 hi! I don’t think they have grey, love the denim blue! That’s actually the one I wanted but at the time they only had white.😢
And no, unfortunately it doesn’t come with the film. However you can get 100 films for $60 on amazon! Great deal if you know you’re gonna be using it a lot 😇
OhhChetoss oh yeah I mean white! Thank you ☺️
The white one definitely looks more gray to me it’s like a grayish whitish color honestly looks white with the gray in it it’s Ashley white color but it looks more gray to me like a very light gray it’s the same color as my Fuji mini nine is the same color is white but it has like a little bit of gray in it to me there is no gray color but it looks like a very light gray but it’s actually white it’s an ashy white color but it looks more gray so I thought it was gray at first
kitty_loves_god same!!
Where did you buy yours from?
Thanks for the helpful video !!
Thank you for watching! 😇🙏🏾
See that’s what I heard a lot of people saying that they still like the camera it’s just bulky in certain situations where they’d want Polaroid pictures but it’s too bulky like concerts Disneyland like it’s just too bulky even though I do you have a small camera bag for my camera it’s just too bulky I’ll still use my camera in certain situations but they’re gonna be times where I want it I just don’t want the bulkiness and that’s what people are saying is that the printer is much slimmer. So that’s also why I wanted it and it actually matches my camera
kitty_loves_god yes! That’s a big reason why I bought this printer. You honestly don’t even need to carry it around, as long as you take the photos you want with your phone you can always go home and just print them! It’s great for travel if you want the photos right then and there tho 💁🏽♀️
How do you charge it? The ones I have seen did not come with a wall plug. Great review. Thanks!
Hi! It comes with a usb cable, so all you have to do is attach it to your phone’s charger ☺️. Thanks for watching!
@@_holajanet Thank you much!😊
Is it just me but i just bought the instax printer and it’s not really clear?
🔥🔥🔥
i just got this for christmas and i have a question! can you print the text on the border of the film?
Hello! When I tried it it came out on the photo, not on the film (white border).
@@_holajanet okay thank you!!! have a merry christmas and happy holidays!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you as well, enjoy your mini link ☺️
Is the print quality different to the quality of the prints from the actual Instax mini camera?
I think there is a little difference. Not too bad tho! I would still recommend ☺️
Hey! Any difference in denim blue,Ash white and dusky ones print quality? Price too varies ..
Honestly, I really don’t think so. I guess some color ways are more popular than others and that’s why the price difference. But that’s just what I think! 😅
I bought an actual instax camera back then and because it was a nude color (different than others) I paid a bit more and my sister had a less pricey one and our pics looked the same 😊
@@_holajanet great! Thank you
I have a question: At the beginning of the video,there was a green white box which has the words "instax mini" on it. What is it? By the way,thanks for the review!
It's the film 🥰 (the paper thingy it prints on)
I wanna buy it nowwwww
Maria Quintero you won’t regret it! I love mine 🥰
Hey question !
Since you have both the fuji camera and the printer. My concern (about which one I should buy) has to do with the picture colour. With the camera I love the "old school" dark filter the pictures get. And I know with the printer I can adjust the filters, I just don't think I can make them look like the original filter pictures, the camera takes. Do you feel like you can see a difference of the photos (filter wise?). Or is it just me being overly concerned? Cause I really like the darker, old school blurrier photos. And it looks like the printer makes them more bright and more modern looking.
Thanx in advance !
Sara Prsic Akbari hi! 🤗 honestly, I think that’s the reason I DONT add any filters even with my printer. I love that “old school” filter you’re describing that the camera had as well. I ONLY add brightness to a picture if it’s really too dark to see. However, yes! I would say there’s a slight difference with the picture color between the printer and camera. But I wouldn’t say it takes HD photos either.
Thank you! Just wanted to make sure the old school vibe wasn't totally "gone" when pictures are printed with the printer. Cause it's definitely much more practical !
@@saraprsicakbari757 did u get the printer
Hey! I have the same printer but when i print it out the color isn’t as bright as yours.
Hello! Make sure you don’t have any filters on it that might mess with the brightness 🤍
I bought a different printer and it only let's me print from my camera roll. Does this product let me print anything? From snapchat to downloaded pics?????
I believe as long as you download those Snapchat pictures to your camera roll you should be fine. I don’t think you can do it straight from Snapchat 😕
so when you print a picture, does it look like it was originally taken on a polaroid ? or do i have to edit it before hand to make it look like that?
Nope, it looks like it was taken on a Polaroid, no need to edit 😌
So I think that’s why my boyfriend doesn’t use his camera a lot because the film isn’t cheap and yeah you can get it for less if you buy just the one pack of film but I think that’s like a rip off I think you’re better off getting the pack that comes with to film but I just don’t understand why it’s never really on sale anywhere Amazon the only place it ever does and it’s usually just because you have to look in the used new section and you might find a used one for a few dollars less but I’ve never seen it on sale anywhere no store has ever had it on sale the square size so that is one of those films I’m always checking out on Amazon disappointed so that’s probably why he doesn’t use it as much because of that.
Hey, question for you. What size of photo album do you like to use for your instax photos? Thanks!
Hello! 😊 I use the 128cnt (4 photos on each page) and it measures 9.4 x 6.4 cm according to the company.
@@_holajanet Hi! What website did you get the photo album from? Thanks!
@@michaelortiz4419 hello! I got it from Amazon. Just search up “Instax albums” 🤩
I have one question, can you print saved pictures too or just photos?
Yes you can but I’m not sure how clear those would come out 😅
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Do you have any tips on how you edit your pictures before printing? How is it that the color of the photo that you printed has the same color as the one you have in your phone 🥺
Hi girl! What I do is I brighten my picture a tad bit before printing ☺️
Without sounding too technical, it’s something called RGB levels which basically means that the image on the phone or computer naturally gets darker when you send it to another computer, or in this case a printer. 😇
@@_holajanet Thank you for answering! ☺️
@@ceejsings_ no worries girl! I hope it works for you ❤️
Great video
VisonaryGamer thank you! 🙏🏾
I just bought mine but i doesnt came out the same. It was so white :( or should i edit it and lower down the brightness?
Cloud Sky bright to the point you can’t see the photo? 😕
Does it give you different sizes you can print out the picture in? Can print them out a little smaller ?
Cindy Ramirez hi! Unfortunately it doesn’t 😕
Thank you so much !
The zoom on the printer is strange to me like when you’re gonna take a picture with your phone you can also use the printer to zoom in and out and it’s really weird I’m still trying to figure that out it either zooms in too much or zooms out too much like I haven’t figured a happy medium.
Yes good point! I completely forgot to mention that, but I’m still trying to figure that out too haha ☺️
How is the battery? I just got mine and I charged it and it said 50% and a few seconds later it said 35% but I haven’t charged it for long so maybe it’s because of that but I’m wondering how it will be later on
I think it’s great! Make sure you charge it fully before using it for a longer battery life 😊🙏🏾
OhhChetoss thank you!! I did that and just printed my first 2 pictures and omg I love it!!! I also got the ashy white
As a beginner, which should I buy? Mini 9 or Mini link? I’m confused now :((
Rowena Grace Estrabela Toriaga mini link forsure girl! 🥰 all you will need is the mini link and some instax film. You’ll be able to get any pic you want off of your phone 💁🏽♀️
OhhChetoss how about in image quality? Which is the best one? :))
Rowena Grace Estrabela Toriaga well both will give you a vintage look, so remember either aren’t HD photos. As long as the photos on your phone aren’t blurry and are good quality, you’ll get a nice picture off of the mini link 🙏🏾
OhhChetoss yassss thanks for this ☺️ Much appreciated 💕
Rowena Grace Estrabela Toriaga no worries girl! 🥰
Hi, about how long does it take for the picture to appear on the film? do you have to fan it out
Hello!! I’ve heard with these new instax photos you do not have to fan them out like the ones from back in the day. My dad accidentally fanned one of my pics and the ink ran through the photograph.
I have not checked how long it takes but I would wait anywhere from 30sec-1min to make sure the pic fully appears and shows the colors it has to show. 😊
@@_holajanet my friend had one of the older models that you’d have to fan out but that is good to know then👍🏼 was thinking between this and the Instax SQ1 camera as a Christmas gift for my gf might go with this one seems way more useful!😊 Thank you for the quick reply !
@@esmem5614 honestly, yes! This will be extremely more useful. I even gave away my Instax camera to my little sister since I no longer needed it. Your gf is gonna LOVE IT!!! You can find little albums for these on Amazon. I have one for every year since 2017 😊
Thank you so much for watching my video, glad I was able to help!
What type of film does this use?
Instax Film ☺️
Waiiiit, when i press the button in the middle, mines yellow and it turns off, does that mean its low battery?
Sundae x yeah girl, most likely! Or if it turns red.
What’s the photo album that you’re using?
They’re all different, I get them from amazon! 😇 Just type “Instax photo album” and you should see your options.
OhhChetoss I found it thanks 😊 do you what kind of pen I can use to write on the images? Right I’m using a highlighter but it’s coming off
@@wooowcool464 try a sharpie!
Do you need to buy and paper or ink for it???
Gianna Ramirez you don’t need to buy ink, just the instax mini film 🤗. If you’re gonna use your printer a lot I recommend you go on amazon because they have the big packs for cheaper 🎉
OhhChetoss thank youuu for the helpful advice!
My photos are coming out dark, do you know why that is ? :(
Is the picture you are trying to print out dark?
No :( I’ve tried a few :(
Did you barely get it? What if you got a defective one? 😕
No like you can see it but it’s just so dark :(
I wish I could show you !
can i print my photos from instagram?
You would have to have them in your camera roll I believe. 😊
@@_holajanet thanks
do you need the camera to print? or can you just print pics that you took from your phone?
aidenxb no you don’t! That’s why I love the printer. 🥳 all you need is the printer, some film of course and then you print whatever photos you want from your phone.
Watching UA-cam krystal
Yeah if you want HD quality photos get a really good camera or use your phone but like that’s what I like about it that it’s vintage old school look it’s not gonna have that crystal clear HD picture quality I like that their old school looking like I still like that feeling that’s why I was so excited that I was able to buy the printer because someone had in my family had mailed me a Christmas card with some money and I use part of it to buy the printer that I was just unfortunate and lucky that it came on Christmas Yves it was supposed to come the day after Christmas Day. And I like the look and feel of the Fujifilm it’s pretty cool I’m always gonna be more of a fan of the mini size film one is the cheaper film despite what people say it really is the cheaper film because my boyfriend has the other Fujifilm camera that takes Square photos and that is expensive film like it could cost anywhere from $18-$20 for a two pack if you’re lucky you can find a used like new condition one the box will be bent up but the film will be fine and if you’re lucky you can find out under $16 so I’m always on the hunt to find that film under $16 so anytime I see the square size under $16 I always wanna buy it for my boyfriend because his film is a little more expensive. And my mini film was on sale on Black Friday at Best Buy for $11.99. And my film the Tupac used to be $12 on Amazon now it’s no longer it’s like $16 for it now. And Target had it on sale on Black Friday for $14.99 so it used to cost me 12 bucks for it on Amazon to pack now the cheapest I can find it for is $16 so I just wait until Black Friday or I might be able to find a use like you were just the box is messed up for a good price for my film and my boyfriend’s Film I’m always on the hunt to look for. I mean you can for like $10-$12 get the one pack which is one film that takes 10 photos but that’s a rip off you’re better off getting the two pack which is two separate films is take 10 so you’re pretty much paying for a total of 12 photos that’s a better deal but I’ve had my camera since October of last year and in that year the price has gone up if you speak 12 bucks for a two pack of the mini film now the cheapest I find it is $16 so when I saw it for $11.99 at Black Friday at Best Buy I told my boyfriend I need to get a pack because it’s not cheap anymore it’s now like 16 bucks at the cheapest. And I refuse to buy the one pack of film because one film takes 10 photos I think that’s a rip off it may be cheaper to buy the one pack but the two back is more valuable because of how much film you’ll go through the To pack of film is a better deal you get more for your money interest in that whole year that I’ve had the Cameron been buying the film it went from $12 to now $16 disappointing but I only try to buy it when it’s on sale the same with my boyfriend I just have to keep an eye out on that sort of thing
kitty_loves_god where are you from? Where I live it’s around $20 🥺 so I rather order the $60 from amazon per 100 film.
That is kind of cool that you could take up to 100 pictures in one charge I’m not even sure I would take 100 pictures let alone take 20 pictures although maybe with this printer I might end up taking 20 pictures are used my Fujifilm mini camera and I’ve use it for parties but we never really took a lot of photos like I was lucky if I took 15 photos it just never happened are you are forget to use the camera or by the time I use the camera most everyone to pray was gone so I took less than like 15 photos. I was a girl that’s like OK so one pack of film takes 10 photos so I buy the two pack so that’s a total of 20 photos because I always tried to have that many or maybe even tried have enough to I can take 30 pictures I was lucky if I could finish one roll of film which it takes 10 photos I was lucky to take 10 photos because I always forget to use the camera or my boyfriend would forget. And then by the time she decided to remember to take it we were lucky if we took 10 photos or we finished one roll of film and didn’t need to put a new one in because the party was over yeah. So maybe this printer will get me to use it more and I’ll be able to take more than just 10 photos
kitty_loves_god exactly! I’ve honestly been going through film like crazy haha, since it’s so convenient that we can the pictures from our phone on to film. 🙌🏾
The very few videos on UA-cam about this printer a lot of the people which was mostly the women because I saw a few videos on this prayer and most of the women there were some with men reviewing the printer but the women thought you had to shake the picture when it came out of the printer like they’re thinking of old school Polaroid cameras were you shake the photo to get it to develop it actually said not to do that. Like I had the Fujifilm mini nine camera and it literally says in the manual not to shake the photo but everybody apparently on UA-cam does that not everybody but there are a lot of videos on this preacher and when I was deciding what camera to get a year ago a lot of the videos people were shaking the photo to get it to develop and I literally wanted to scream because I was like seriously it even says in the manual do not shake the photo this is not like a real Polaroid camera a real Polaroid film you don’t actually shake it to get the photo to develop that was something I did not like to see
kitty_loves_god hahaha I read that too! My dad shook mine and I told him it wasn’t actually like the ones from back then lol. When the picture was done clearing, the ink smeared different places haha. That’s how I figured out you are really not suppose to shake it lol.
What length and width is the film? because I was the fujifilm instead camera and I tried putting the camera film in the instead mini link printer
Jackie Cruz depends what camera you have. If you have the instax MINI camera, you can use the same film for both the camera & printer. The dimensions for the film are 3.4 inches in length & 2.1 in wide. 😊
Where did you buy yours from?
La Jackie i got mine from Target ☺️
