INSTAX Square Share SP-3 Printer

Background: I'm a photographer. Not loaded so I'm a budget specialist. For my exhibitions I send my images to the printer. I got fed up of endless digital images just on a drive to view on a screen so I researched the market for something Polaroid-ish for my other images. Having several Polaroid cameras I enjoy the tangability and almost immediacy of a printed film image and that's the spirit I wanted to capture by having this Instax Square. I love the square format and when I'm on the go it's nice to print a little image for someone while out n about. This comes with my own personal caveat... Process it on your phone. The blacks are smush otherwise and shadow detail can be lost in the print unless that is your intention. I use my Fuji cameras and an old Samsung Note 5 for Instax prints. The picture quality once I learnt the characteristics of the print works well for me with a few reprints as the blacks and shadows were crushed. I find there's a blue hue to my prints and I've gone through an album full of prints. If that's not to your liking you can edit. Syncing to my Note 5 or via Fujifilm cameras has been easy. You'll have to register your serial number against the free app on Googleplay. The film pack is easy as to insert. The film packs aren't cheap but for me and my personal work it's worth it. The printer has a weird rubber cover for the charger and mine hasn't fully closed since I opened it. It's no big deal to me but aesthetically a bit of rubber jutting out isn't pretty. Anyway, I hope my review helps you decide what you go for.

Great quality print, easy to use, convenient size

Great quality, quick. Cartridges are pricey (same used with the square camera) but with the printer you get full control of what is printed. The app works great with it. Will be pricey to print a high number of photos if that’s all you want it for but it’s great when using it for projects or regularly printing small amounts and it’s worth the price if this is the style you’re after. Printer is small and light and easily transportable. Easy to use.

It reminds of an old fashion instamatic camera and It took me a while to figure out how to print as it was not straight forward. But overall a good little printer.

I have had both the instax mini camera and now have the instax square printer and the printer wins hands down. I have had no issues with the printer, when I had the camera the spring broke and ruined a whole box of film. With the printer, every picture has the right lighting and angle and I can go back and pick the best pictures I took on my phone, which takes better pictures than the camera can. The camera was consistently was either over-exposed or under-exposed and the view finder was not the most accurate. With the printer, I can also make multiple prints of the same picture to share with my friends, whereas with the camera we had to take the same picture five times. The app initially is a little annoying as you use wifi to connect to it rather than Bluetooth and the editing tools are a little clunky but as I use other apps to edit and just the install app to print it works out fine. The film is slightly more expensive but after printing over two hundred pictures, and only charging it twice, it's a great value for money and I love the pictures I have.

Got this the other day and am very pleased on the whole. Photos are a little smaller than classic Polaroids. The smartphone app for iOS is fairly straight forward but buyer beware, you need to switch back and forth between your wifi settings, use regular wifi to download images to the app if you have them stored on iCloud, then switch to the printer's dedicated wifi to send the image from phone to device. Sounds a chore, it doesn't take long, prints are good quality. For more technically minded users, it is worth printing a pantone style colour chart as your first print. Compare the colours in the photo to the actual chart then give the results some consideration when you wish to print. The app for the phone has editing features on board, which will allow for a degree of colour accuracy tweaks.

When it worked, it printed reasonable photos. However, setting it up is overly difficult. Unless you use it regularly you'll forget how it works. I've just dug mine out after not using it for over 2 years, and it simply does not work. Good look troubleshooting it, the instructions and online help is useless. Mines now in the bin Feel like it's a waste of money considering how much use I got out of it. I won't be replacing it.

I bought this for a friend that's expecting, to print out those memories instead of keeping them on their phones. To share with family and friends. They loved it. Excellent Polaroid prints great portable size. Good looking and it was a great price. Thanks amazon.

Het produkt werkt prima samen met een camera als de fujifilm X100V Ook een afdruk maken via de Instax share app met een google pixel 8 mobiele telefoon (Android 14 ) werkt goed. Gezien het vierkante afdrukformaat is het wel handig om daar bij het fotograferen rekening mee te houden. Veel camera's kun je gelukkig ook instellen op een vierkant opname formaat.

The Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3 has been one of my favorite gadgets. It’s a fantastic way to print photos straight from your phone onto Fujifilm’s square format film, which is larger and better quality than standard instant prints. I love that you can choose your best phone photos and turn them into memories you can hang up or share, instead of carrying around a Polaroid camera and hoping for a good shot. The print quality is excellent, and the process is quick and easy. Even after three years, my SP-3 is still working perfectly. If you like the look of instant photos but want more control and better image quality, this is absolutely the way to go. The only real downside is the app—it’s not the most modern-looking, and sometimes feels a bit outdated or unstable. There aren’t a ton of features, and it could definitely use an update. Still, despite this minor issue, I’ve had a great experience and I’d definitely recommend the printer. Summary A top-quality, fun, and reliable instant printer. Even if the app isn’t perfect, the overall experience is excellent—highly recommended for anyone who wants to turn their digital photos into real keepsakes.

Dopo essermi documentato ed aver testato stampanti polaroid di amici la scelta è ricaduta su questa stampante. Pregi: -Leggerezza -Qualità delle foto straordinaria! -Software dedicato Difetti: -Forma ingombrante -Costo della carta Per hobby mi dedico alla fotografia e devo dire che la qualità di stampa è straordinariamente ottima. I colori sono fedeli e non risultano saturati come su altre polaroid. La stampante richiede un app dedicata: Instax Share, scaricabile sia su android che su apple. L'applicazione è molto intuitiva e permette moltissime personalizzazioni: dai classici filtri pre-settati alle regolazioni singole di luminosità, contrasto, ombre... Essendo una stampante permette di stampare immagini scattate dallo smartphone ed anche dalla reflex (ovviamente importate sul telefono). I difetti riscontrati sono sostanzialmente due: -L'applicazione offre una funzione, tanto pubblicizzata da fuji, che ottimizza automaticamente le foto preparandole alla stampa: pessima! Colori saturati eccessivamente e foto rovinata! Sistematevi da soli le regolazioni e state sicuri che non rimarrete delusi. Mi auguro che, con gli aggiornamenti futuri, Fuji sia in grado di risolvere questo problema. -Il costo della carta è elevato, siamo attorno a 1€ a foto. Nonostante questo la stampante è perfetta e vi permetterà di immortalare i vostri ricordi con un tocco di retrò dal fascino unico. Sicuramente il prezzo è più elevato rispetto alle Hp ma al momento non c'è storia.

Muy fácil de utilizar y está muy bien para hacer álbumes en celebraciones y que la gente pueda escribir.
