A unique instax print with AR effects!
Experience a timely and real connection with a distant partner with a print that combines photos and chats!
FUJIFILM Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Teiichi Goto) has launched a smartphone printer “INSTAX SQUARE Link” (hereafter referred to as “SQUARE Link ”) will be released from November 17, 2022. “SQUARE Link” is the latest smartphone printer equipped with a function to color instax prints with AR (augmented reality) effects and a function to enjoy instax prints with messages.
The INSTAX Link series of smartphone printers have been well-received around the world, especially among young people, because they can print high-quality instax images from smartphones anytime, anywhere via a dedicated app *1 via Bluetooth *2 . The INSTAX Link WIDE, which supports wide-format instax film, and the INSTAX mini Link 2, which can print on card-sized instax film, have expanded the appeal of the INSTAX Link series.
The “SQUARE Link” to be released this time is compatible with square-format instax film, and is equipped with two new functions that further expand the way you enjoy photography.
new function
(1) AR Print
A function that uses a dedicated app to color instax prints output with “SQUARE Link” with AR effects. You can display an instax print with AR effects, save the display screen as a video or still image, and easily share it on SNS.
(2) INSTAX Connect
A function that allows you to superimpose chat messages on smartphone images and print them using a dedicated app. By printing the reply message from the other party along with the smartphone image sent with the message, it is possible to share the feeling at that time in the photo. With instax prints with messages that combine photos and chats, you can enjoy timely and real connections with people who are far away without feeling the distance.
In addition, we have a lineup of two colors, simple ash white and midnight green that blends in with the interior with a calm color. A case for “INSTAX SQUARE Link” and an album for square film that match the body color will be released at the same time as “SQUARE Link”.
FUJIFILM will continue to expand the world of the instant photo system “INSTAX,” where you can “enjoy printing on the spot”.
