KODAK Mini 3 Retro 3x3 Portable Photo Printer, 4PASS, 8 Sheets, White

Fast delivery and good quality product. It has a nice feel to it and prints photos much better than I expected. Great photo printer!

I really love this printer. It works out as one of the cheapest per print (around £0.30 per image) and the format looks like a traditional polaroid although much thinner. I think having a cheaper cost per image is super important for something like this because there is no point in buying a printer if you never print anything because it feels too expensive! I was worried that it would just print would not look like a traditional polaroid as the dimensions of the photos are described as 76mm by 76mm which is true but this does not include the rip-able strip at the bottom which brings it to 76mm by 83mm. Although to note this strip is not a printable surface but I think it looks cool and you can write a note/date on it. I was also worried that the strip would fall off too easily but it is on there pretty strongly and is unlikely to accidentally fall off unless bent. I was also worried that the photo stock would be too flimsy but I think it's the perfect thickness. It's thick enough where it feels like it won't rip/tear easily but is thick enough where you could tape into journals/scrapbooks without affecting the thickness too much. The image quality is not amazing but if you are looking for detailed image quality it would be better to just get them professionally developed. This is definitely more focused on convenience and for a more retro look. The one thing I hate is the plastic waste this creates. Each cartridge contains enough for 10 prints but you need to throw out a whole plastic tray and the plastic sheet paper spool. It seems pretty wasteful and to my knowledge these are not actually recycled anywhere. It is a toss up between this and zink printers (zero ink like hp sprocket) for eco friendliness. Zink printers don't have the plastic tray and spool but the images degrade over time and are not as detailed. The photos they produce are also not recyclable. You also can't really take them on holiday as the x-ray scanners used in airports can damage/degrade the film. This printer, despite the single use plastic, produces higher quality images and are advertised to last a 100 years and you can travel with them. Is that worth the extra plastic waste? I don't know. If you are eco conscious it would probably be best not to buy any portable printers and just order them professionally in bulk. The way I rationalise it is that if I need a bulk amount of photos printed for a photo book or something I'll get them professionally developed. This is more for the occasional photo to put on a corkboard/scrapbooking/give to friends on a night out. In terms of the app, I'm using android and I found it perfectly serviceable. I read of others not liking the app but I found it decent. It found and connected to the print easily, has options for basic photo editing and whatnot. Also has options for printing duplicates which is good for handing out photos. It also has options for collages which you could use to cut up into smaller images if you want. I haven't had any issues with jamming personally. I think the issues others had were probably disturbing the print mid-print. It has 4 passes where the photo goes in and out, and at the end it will eject it. If you leave it alone and only touch the photo once it has ejected it should be good (as long as you don't get a lemon). It is capable of printing 4-5 photos before getting too hot and needing to cool down, so if you are planning on printing a bunch a once quickly this is not the device for that. The printing process is not super fast (around 45 seconds I think) but I like the noises it makes so I don't mind. In comparison to the retro 2 I personally like the photo stock dimensions much better as you are able to fit more in the frame and I think look better on a corkboard or journal. The USB-C charging is great as well. The construction of the device is pretty decent. It's obviously plastic casing but feels solid enough, I really like the retro styling. Mine is 370 grams and is 13cm, 10.5cm, 3cm. All in all a good device, just wish it didn't produce as much waste.

Liked the size of the photos, ie square and can be borderless or have border. Can just colour for better results but some do come out dark. ink and paper has to be purchased separately, it didn't say that on purchase . I thought one set of paper would come with. Printer looks nice and prints quickly. Hope it continues to work well.

After cropping the photo the way I liked it on the app, the photos came out completely wrong and not at all how I edited them on the app. I tried 5 times by cropping the photos outside the app and then uploading them on the app but the printer still did whatever it wanted. Can't use it so had to return it. Very disappointed.

Okay when it prints a nightmare when it sticks and bends the photos.

Ottima stampante. Poco ingombrante e leggera, ha soddisfatto le aspettative. Stampa di qualità migliore rispetto ad una macchina fotografica istantanea perchè sfrutta la superiore qualità del cellulare. App semplice da utilizzare con molte possibilità di elaborazione foto inserendo bordi, sfondi, cornici e filtri vari. Soddisfatti dell'acquisto.

Ich habe das Teil in der Hoffnung bestellt, eine preislich akzeptablere Version der Instax-Drucker zu bekommen. Die Thermosub-Drucktechnik ist mir seit 25 Jahren bekannt und hat mich überzeugt, die zInk-Technik ist dagegen wirklich schwach ;) Leider war der Drucker jedoch in jeglicher Hinsicht enttäuschend - und wenn ich die anderen 1-Stern Bewertungen mit ähnlichen Symptomen lese, gehe ich natürlich davon aus, dass ich nicht einfach nur ein Montagsmodell erwischt habe (oder aber dass es massive Serienstreuungs-Probleme bei Kodak gibt). Es fing damit an, dass keine Verbindung zu 2 verschiedenen Smartphones und einem Tablet zustande kam. Allerdings auch nicht "zuverlässig" so, denn mitunter gab es dann doch ein Firmwareupdate mal zwischendurch, oder auf mehrfaches Abbrechen und Neukopplung In der App dann doch noch eine kurzfristige Connection - die genau bis dann hielt, wo man einen Druck starten wollte. Die App selber ist "relativ" sauber und ohne viel ablenkendes Zeugs, braucht aber gefühlt 4-5 extra Bestätigungen bevor so simple Bearbeitungstasks wie Zuschneiden bewerkstelligt werden können. Bei jedem Druckversuch brach die Verbindung ab, ODER zeigte an, dass keine Patrone ODER eine leere Patrone eingelegt wäre (entscheide dich, mensch!) - und über die schlechte Übersetzung (2 Schaltflächen, beide mit "Abbrechen", toll!) rede ich schon gar nicht mehr. Tja, und die Krönung: Das gute Teil ließ sich dann auch nicht wieder ausschalten! Es piepste wie wild herum (überhaupt, es piepst viel und extrem störend laut!!!) egal ob man versehentlich doch mal gegen den ansonsten eher unhandlich versenkten Einschaltknopf kam, oder der Rückseite mit dem Kartuschenschacht. Scheinbar wird bei jedem Druck auf die Seite des Geräts das "Auslesen" der Druckpatrone neu initialisiert - was dazu führte, dass selbst als ich entnervt den Müll wieder eingepackt und komplett in die Umverpackung von Amazon verstaut und etikettiert habe, bei jeder Berührung des braunen Paketes von außen !!! im Inneren der Drucker wieder anfing zu piepsen. Die Leute bei DHL werden echt ihre Freude daran haben.... Das ist jetzt das zweite Kodak-Produkt, dass mich bzgl. Endkontrolle oder undurchdachte, unzuverlässige Technik enttäuscht hat. Ich glaube, ich gehe da mal auf Abstand.
