KiiPixPortable Portable Printer & Photo Scanner Compatible with FUJIFILM Instax Mini Film, Black

I LOVE THIS!Feedback addressing all the negative reviews:• the black lines are 100% user error. If you look closely in the tiny mirror preview, it shows black lines if it’s not aligned properly. Adjust accordingly and you’ll be fine.• the size, simplicity, analog design is just so practical and fun.• all black images or leaky images - I’m going to guess either your film is faulty or the shutter didn’t release. I bought film from a store, not online where it may be expired or more likely to be damaged. I push the shutter button until I can hear it release like someone else recommended. I’ve never had an all-black image.• the image quality is full of “character” it will not be clear like a digital print.• the color does take some playing with. If your image is bright or has a lot of white, don’t turn the brightness all the way up. Maybe half way.• I’ve had the best luck running it in a mostly dark room - for ex., with a light turned on in a room next door so I can see, but barely.• the crank to turn the film is a little tricky but works.• again, I love this and think you will too. Best Buy for a printer like this• an advantage over an instax or Polaroid camera is you KNOW the pic you’re printing. Unless you enjoy the mystery.

This picture printer was super easy to use. At first I was a little bit intimidated because the user manual had numerous steps, but I could set up everything instinctively and the little machine was ready to print photos in under 3 minutes. I especially liked the fact that I did not need to find an outlet to plug it in, or adjust settings through my mobile like most IoT gadget these days.The photos were retro cute. It takes some practice to find the right balance of light: display brightness and room lighting. Yes, ROOM LIGHTING too! I printed one photo by my window blinds and the photo came out with stripes. I think the light coming through the cracks of my window blinds somehow affected the print.That being said, I don't mind it because that is part of the fun. You can adjust lighting to create your perfect retro looking picture, instead of industrialized photo prints. I feel this would be a good education toy for kids too, to get them started thinking about the mechanism of camera and photos.Overall, great value for money for something under $40. Perfect for gifting or home use.

I just received this product and was excited to use it. However, I was receiving some problems and decided to check out some of the reviews, of which some had the same problem: it did not work. I followed the directions, and they were very simple. The first black sheet came out and after that, it seemed as if the photos got stuck. I wasted 4 photos and none of them show anything. It was completely white. Some had ink coming out too. I kept messing with the film because it would not print. I did so by taking the film box out and placed it in again and re-did the spinning of the print button to get the S --> 10 and retaking photos, but it still did not work. When my boyfriend tried to help me, he played with the polaroid after it was printed and ink started coming out. Somehow, he got one of the white photos to show some blue but it was not even close to our photo that we were testing to print. We tried taking the photo in a setting where the phone brightness was up but no light was directly shining at it and another instance where it was completely dark.Some people reviewed about it working for them but this did not work for me at all and I'm greatly disappointed. I would definitely not recommend this product at all. It's probably better to stick to polaroids or save up for pricier products that actually work...

I want to begin by saying it's great for the price. It does work and it does print the pictures off your phone. But if you're worried about keeping the pictures looking the same as your phone then you might have a harder time printing them.The first picture I took was #4, then I took #2. I edited #1, #3, and #5 to look closer to original one. I kept making changes until I got to #5 which was the closest one to the original picture, so I'm a lot more satisfied with #5.Things I realized as I was experimenting with editing and printing the pictures:-- it gets a little purple color so I changed the tint to look a little greener.-- it creates a darker circle around the frame so I also adjusted the vignette to look a lot lighter-- the pictures tend to look darker and overexposed at the same time, so try to reduce the darker tones/shadows and reduce the whites/highlights as well.--Some pictures might need to reduce expose as well and reduce the darker a lot more. I also changed the saturation a little bit but that will depend on the look of the picture. #4 for example is very saturated because the original one is also a lot more saturated than the other ones**note: I took the all pictures on the printer with the brightness of my phone on the max.**To finish up the review I'd say it's worth the money especially if you can’t afford for those fancier ones. If you can, I'd say do that since those might be easier to get good results and they're more practical and easier to use too.
