KiiPix Portable 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.

Gave this to my 17 yr old for Christmas and she loves it. She has a Polaroid as well (uses the same printer paper which is nice), but she loves that she can also print Polaroid type pics from her phone. She likes that she doesn't have to take her Polaroid with her everywhere. She can take her pics and then just come home and print. She says it's very easy to use, but does take a little trial and error to ensure the picture prints light enough. Once figured out, she says it's perfect. The only downside is that the film is a little pricey in my opinion. It's a great gift.

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...

This is a decent little printer if you don't mind losing a few prints every so often. Overall you get what you pay for. The process is really simple, but kind of finicky. You raise frame, line up your phone, hit the shutter, and crank out your photo. The finicky bits - First off, your phone. It takes a bit to figure out the right brightness for your phone, and the brightness level depends on how light/dark your photo is. There is a fixed, but unknown, shutter speed, so the only thing you can change is the brightness of your phone. I get about the same number of properly exposed photos with this as I do with my instax camera, so not really a huge loss Second, the crank, or more precisely, the knob that should really be a crank. You have to turn it really evenly or else you get lines on the photo where you stopped. If this had an actual crank handle it would make this much easier. As it is, I've found the best way to get an unlined photo is to hold the knob in one hand and rotate the unit instead, as if it was a crank. When you get it right, they are about the same quality as any other instax photo, not super sharp, but decent. Photo advance not catching - I had 1 photo not come out of the box. This happens when the little advance lever misses the edge of the photo and can't push it forward into the rollers. The fix I used was to open the back and push the top exposed photo forward pull it out by hand, then put the film cartrige back into the box and crank out the next photo. This ruined the first photo, and the one below it. In hindsight I probably could have gone into a dark room(bathroom with the light out, closet, whatever) and moved the top photo a bit to get it to catch, and not lost either photo, but it hasn't happened since, so I haven't tried it yet.

I purchased this product along with the "Instax Film Mini 20PK" and it arrived the next day. I setup the device and installed the film cartridge and ejected the first film which is a dummy film and patiently started by aligning the phone with the printer and then took a print First Attempt: Unfortunately turned out completely black after sometime. Identified that I tried this in a room which was well lit and received ample sunlight which may have interfered with the printer when it took the shot. Second & Third Attempt: I tried this time in darker room and got fairly better results. I would not consider the results to be the best of quality which is understandable. Every picture taken is a bit grainy and the color is a little washed out. Film is about 1.5"x2.5" in size. Apart from that in today's world the images look old and out of the 90's Its probably a novelty purchase, something you want to buy if you want to take a snap when friends come over and you want them to have a souvenir photo or maybe for kids to play with. Hence, I had average expectations and not disappointed with the purchase.

Ricevuta con un giorno di anticipo rispetto al previsto. Risponde alle aspettative e funziona bene. Da ricordare: l'apparecchio è meccanico e non ha alcun tipo di alimentazione nè di illuminazione, quindi bisogna fare alcune prove per scoprire su quale grado di luminosità va impostato lo schermo del proprio smartphone! La KiiPiix scatta una foto dello schermo del cellulare, quindi la luminosità dello schermo deve essere adeguata ed intorno deve esserci penombra. Da ricordare anche che il ripiano su cui si appoggia lo smartphone ha uno spazio rettangolare, che però è leggermente più piccolo dello schermo: io ho un cell Samsung J7 del 2016 e "restano fuori" dallo scatto un paio di millimetri di bordo (per me non è un problema, ma è bene che si sappia). Per me è comunque promossa a pieni voti!!

I think the name ”Kiipix Photo PRINTER" may not be the best to describe the product.. maybe "Kiipix Photo CAMERA" would be more accurate, since this is just a retro camera after all. YOU WILL NEED PATIENCE.. and a little bit of handiness when using KiiPix Photo, exactly because.. this is not like any other automatic instant camera now in commerce! This is a great product when you know how to use it or at least want to try it out.. at a very reasonable price also, to be honest. But the Kiipix Photo is MANUAL indeed, a little bit old school, so It's great for people who actually enjoy Polaroids, are photography aficionados and/or simply enjoy the process of trying out different picture effects and settings without getting frustrated by it. If this doesn't sound like you, then this is not for you my friend (- you may also skip my whole review!). You can expect the resolution of your Kiipix Photo prints to be ALMOST that of the originally captured in your device but just because what gets captured with the Kiipix Photo is a PREVIEW and not the full-sized HD/ULTRA 4K ETC image. Also, you can expect the colors to get darker from what they looked originally because..it's an OLD SCHOOL camera after all (- again..not really a printer!) which implies that the color/saturation/brightness of your printed Kiipix pics are directly impacted by the lightness of the room in which you use the Kiipix Photo camera (and if/how you covered the sides of the Kiipix Photo when using + how much you waited before revealing the films); your prints will also be influenced by the color/hue or "filter” of the Fuji film used to print the pictures, and by your picture's settings in terms of colors/brightness/saturation/contrast, etc when using with Kiipix Photo. What I mean is: for different results, you need to manually make them happen. You can influence and change the result colors of your printed pictures by changing saturation/hue/contrast and lights of your ORIGINAL PICTURES when they are in your original device BEFORE PRINTING. For example, I noticed I had more colorful and "real normal light-clear" results with pictures with: 1) Crazy full-on saturation (especially on pictures with bland colors), little shadows (especially on faces), and fewer shadows/saturation/contrast on hair (if brown/black already) which become very dark losing its original color because of the saturation. 2) After pressing "Shutter", I make sure to COVER both lateral sides of the Kiipix printer AND LEAVE my phone there for at least 2 MINUTES BEFORE developing the picture.

All the poloroids turned black not worth the money at all. Its not good at all

Voor foto's maar moet er geen papier in de printer
