Polaroid Hi·Print Paper Cartridge 20 Sheets 2 Cartridges

Product Information

The Lifeprint 2x3 was easily the fastest of our test bunch, at about 30 seconds per photo, beating Canon's IVY Mini, which took 44 seconds. Another 2-by-3.4-inch dye-sub machine that I've failed to mention so far, the Kodak Mini 2 HD Instant Photo Printer, took about 1 minute and 20 seconds per print. So the Hi-Print, despite its need to pull through the paper four times, is certainly competitive on the speed front. PRINT AT HOME OR ON THE GO: The Polaroid Hi-Print is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is small enough to take along and print from anywhere. As you can see, even at 70 cents per print, the Hi-Print is one of the more costly to use, and remember that that figure is for 2-by-3-inch sheets rather than 4-by-6-inch ones.

WIRELESS PRINTING: Easily connect with the Polaroid Hi-Print mobile app (iOS and Android) via Bluetooth to create vibrant custom prints. Dye-sublimation printers have been around for a while and were, before inkjets got so good at photo printing, the imaging technology of choice for many professional photographers. They're also used in lieu of silk screening for short runs of garment printing. Over the years, I've seen dye-sub output ranging from merely on-par with consumer inkjets to highly detailed and vibrantly colored images that come close to rivaling the output from professional-grade inkjet photo printers with nine or more inks.Instant cameras have seen a resurgence over the past couple of years (in the same vein as record players), with photographers and casual snappers alike remembering the fun of physical photos. However, although we love instant cameras, it can be a drag to bring them everywhere and remember to use them (instead of your phone). Here’s where the portable photo printers come in. The bottom edge is home to a micro-USB port for charging and a couple of status LEDs. The left edge holds the power button and two more status lights. You connect your Android or iOS smartphone to the Hi-Print via Bluetooth 5.0. According to Polaroid, the device's 640mAh battery, when fully charged via the included micro-USB cable, is good for about 20 prints.
