6 ways to get the most out of your instax Link photo printer
If you’re anything like us, you probably have hundreds of photos on your phone. Some might make it to social media while others are glanced at once and then forgotten. With instax Link printers, you can unearth your lost snaps and print them instantly.
But that’s not all. From decorating your pics before printing to adding secret messages or transforming a video into a chic frame, each of our Link printers offers an array of features.
With instax printers, you can reflect, curate, and share, all in an instant. So whether you go mini, SQUARE, or WIDE, make the most of your best moments with these handy instax Link printer benefits.
1. On-the-go printing
Photo printing at home is all well and good — and we’ll come back to why we love doing just that — but your instax Link printer is also small enough to pop in your bag. Sleek and portable, instant smartphone printers are perfect for events and festivals.
The best part? Nobody is left out. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, wedding, or a catch-up with mates, everyone has the opportunity to share. Pop your Link on the table, and everyone can take it in turns to print their pics from the night.
2. Easy connectivity and a simple setup
Setting up your printer is a breeze, too. Home or away, simply download the Link app for your printer model, connect via Bluetooth and you’re good to go. If you have an instax Pal, you can connect that, too.
3. You get creative control
Don’t get us wrong, we love a spontaneous photo. It’s what our instax cameras are all about. But sometimes it’s nice to have a little more creative control, too. With an instant photo printer, you can choose exactly which snaps you want to print — no waste, no fuss.
Plus, you can tweak and enhance your photos before sending them to print, making sure they’re just right. Zoom and crop, adjust the contrast and brightness or add a filter. You get all the perks of uploading to Insta but with the promise of a physical print.
As well as adjusting your image, you can go to town with making it your own.
- Add text: Want to remember the date of a special moment or add a message for a mate? Type freely and overlay your snap with text.
- Create collages: Tell a story with collage mode. Bring favourite moments together, all in one print.
- Use customisable frames and templates: Elegant, modern, or celebratory — choose a frame to match your mood and transform your photo into a personalised keepsake, perfect for any occasion.
- Include fun stickers: Find an in-app sticker for every occasion and give your prints a little extra.
4. The chance to reflect, curate, and print
When you print photos from your phone with an instax Link photo printer, you get to pause, reflect, and pick out the highlights from your treasure trove of smartphone snaps. Maybe it’s that epic sunset from your last road trip or a goofy selfie with your besties.
Either way, you can take a moment to decide what’s worth turning into a keepsake. Choose photos that capture big events, fun memories, or just everyday moments that make you happy.
5. Unparalleled sharing
Our motto is “don’t just take, give.” And sharing photos has never been this fun and interactive. With instax Link printers, you get a whole host of features that take sharing to the next level. Forget just handing someone a photo — although you can absolutely do that, too — but now you can also share snaps with a twist.
QR codes
Ever added a QR code to your photos? Now you can with the instax Link WIDE. From birthday greetings or a snippet from a gig to a wedding RSVP page, your QR code can take friends and family to unique content just for them. It’s a great way to add an extra layer of personalisation. They just need to scan the code with their phone and watch the magic unfold.
AR features
But it doesn’t stop there. Some of our instax Link printers also support Augmented Reality (AR) features. This means you can embed AR content into your prints. Think animations, special effects, or even location-based information. Your photos can literally come to life, adding a dynamic element to sharing that goes way beyond the standard print.
Hidden messages
With the instax Link app, you can also write a secret note that only becomes visible when viewed through the app. It’s another awesome way to add a personal touch to your photos — a private joke, a heartfelt message, or even a clue in a scavenger hunt.
6. Instant gifts and decor
All this talk of the digital shouldn’t take away from the fact instax Link printers also do a top-notch job of printing your pics — ideal for gifts and decor.
Personalised gifts
Pop a print through a friend’s letterbox for a surprise or create a scrapbook of memories for your partner. Whether it’s a single meaningful photo or a collection of moments, no matter how you choose to gift them, instax prints make thoughtful gifts.
Event memorabilia
We’re all about using instax Link printers to capture and remember special events like parties, weddings, and festivals.
Why not set up a photo booth with an instax Link printer at your next event, and let guests print their favourite snapshots instantly? These prints make for awesome souvenirs, giving everyone a tangible reminder of the fun they had.
Plus, you can also use them to create a guestbook, where your besties can leave a photo and a message. The result? A keepsake filled with memories to flip through and enjoy.
Decor and design
Your photos can become a part of your home decor, too. Use instax prints to create a gallery wall, fill a photo frame, or decorate your workspace. You could string them up with fairy lights, pin them to a corkboard, or arrange them in a stylish photo album that doubles as a coffee table book.
Whether you’ve got a mini, SQUARE or WIDE Link printer, choose a film design that matches your vibe. Candy Pop, Mermaid Tail, Black Frame — find your style.
