With that said, if you compare this Polaroid printer to a device like the Fujifilm Instax Share printer, the overall wait times might be quite similar. While it takes a second or two from the time you hit the print button for the process to begin, the printing of the image takes an awfully long time almost 30 seconds. While some photos I printed did look good, I felt the consistency of prints was very sporadic and I didn’t know if I was going to get a great print or a mediocre one. I’m pleased to report that the colours somewhat improved since that last test, but I don’t think they’re top quality or true to life. The prints tended to have a reddish hue, and otherwise printed out quite inaccurately when it came to color. ( Read that review here) When I last tested the Zip, the Zink film was of much lesser quality.

I had a chance to test an older version of the Zip printer several years ago. You’ll see there’s a big difference in the quality of the images and the original photo. If you take a look at my YouTube video, you’ll also see a comparison I did where I took a photo on my iPhone, then printed it on the Zip, and on a FujiFilm Instax Share printer. The colours were not accurate, the prints more often than not looked washed out, and on some of the photos I printed, I was left with odd lines across the print. I was really, really unhappy with the overall photo quality of the Polaroid prints. Some photos printed with odd horizontal lines across them. By the time I’d reverted the photo from upside down back to right side up, it had snapped back to normal size without the zoom. Finally, I found that by adjusting the orientation of the film on the camera screen I could disable the zoom effect (Watch my YouTube video to see how it’s done). Weird.Įvery time I tried to print from my phone, the app did that weird zoom thing. The app asks you to pinch to adjust the zoom, but it won’t actually let you do it. When picking a photo from the camera roll, I noticed the Polaroid app frequently zooms in the photos by quite a bit. You can use it as a regular photo, but the backing of every paper peels off and you can turn the photos into cute custom stickers. One of the things I like about Polaroid’s Zink paper is that it’s versatile. ( Read that review to see which of these photo printers comes out on top.) That was annoying, but not an uncommon problem in other similar printers I’ve been testing, like the Fujifilm Instax Share SP2 printer. It’s worth taking note that each time the printer powers off, it loses the connection to Bluetooth, and each time you need to reconnect via your smartphone’s settings menu.

Go ahead and connect and you should be good to go. You should now see your device appear in a list. If you still don’t see your device, hit the back button to return to the main menu, then click the “connect printer” button at the top. You should now see the printer appear as one of your selections inside the app.

When it does, click on it and wait for the connection to complete, then you can return to the app.

Make sure your Bluetooth is enabled and your device is connected,” but it won’t tell you how to do that. Clicking Connect will do nothing, and you’ll get an error message saying “No device found. Once you load the app however, it will give you the option to “connect to device” or “connect later”.

You’ll first need to download the Polaroid SnapTouch or Zip app. It helps if you have some knowledge of how to set up Bluetooth devices, because the app won’t walk you through it. Setting up the Polaroid Zip is not very intuitive.

Read my explanation here.) Setting up The Polaroid Zip ( Curious about why Polaroid printers don’t use Polaroid film, and Fujifilm DOES? I was too, so I asked both companies. The Zip prints edge-to-edge photos, but you can add a special effect which will allow you to create a faux Polaroid border. While you might think of ‘Polaroid’ prints as being kind of vintage looking and having that distinctive papery border frame, know that the Zip printer uses different paper. The printer does not use ink cartridges either, because the ink is built right into the Zink photo paper.

It prints small 3″ x 2″ colour prints that require no developing time. The Zip is a very small dedicated photo printer that comes in several colours. This time I’m reviewing the Polaroid Zip mini printer. Read those reviews by clicking the links.
