Gordon Lang posted an Instax printer comparison that might be helpful to some, but it is focused on the wide format. You can read a summary of his comparison below or check out the full review above.
- All Instax cartridges are self-contained
- Each pack holds 10 prints
- The Fujifilm Wide camera was the last wide product 6 years ago
- Instax, Instax Square, Instax Wide all are the same height
- The with of Instax is 46mm, Instax Square is 62mm, Instax Wide is 98mm
- Polaroid I type is 78x78mm so almost the same area
- Phone controlled printers help you not waste film
- All of the printers can print directly from the camera
- Wide has been missing up until now
- Not much price difference between them
- Instax SP-3 uses wifi while the other printers use Bluetooth
- There is no shot counter so check the app to see how many prints you get
- The printers are rated for 100 shots, but Gordan’s only lasted for 3 packs or about 30 prints
- It takes about 90 seconds to develop
- There are now print mode options in the Instax wide of natural (which is the classic Instax style) and rich mode which tones down the contrast
- Gordon prefers the rich mode
- Editing options in the printer apps allow for some basic adjustments to be made
- There are also filter and text options that can be applied before printing
- You can keep the printer in your hand or bag or whatever
- You can also add QR codes on your printers for a variety of things like your website, audio clips, or the photo location
- You can also print multiple photos to the wide format with all of the above features
