Zink Kodak Mini 2 HD Wireless Portable Mobile Instant Photo Printer, Print Social Media Photos, Premium Quality Full Color Prints – Compatible w/iOS & Android Devices (White)

I bought it for my daughter and I use it more than she does

Bought this for my mom for Christmas. She loves it! She has several small picture frames and hangars and this is perfect for printing the photos to go in those frames. The unit is small and ultra portable, easy to connect to an iPhone, the app used for printing (required) is pretty straight-forward. Instructions say to CHARGE PRIOR TO FIRST USE--charging seems to be pretty quick.FYI: The unit is a 4 pass printer! When you print a photo, it puts the ink on in layers--the photo comes out with one layer, goes back in, gets another layer, and so on. Finishes up with a really nice glossy clear coat. That was weird for us the first time we used the printer--I had never seen a printer like that before. LoL!

Well, I bought this for my wedding last year and bought a full thing of the 2x3 paper that I thought went with it because it said "frequently bought together" and guess what..... The paper doesn't fit. So, I'm stuck with a printer that they don't have cartridges that are easy to find or purchase after the initial usage of the small amount included, and a whole pack of useless 2x3 paper - unless I buy a new printer. So, wasted money unfortunately. :(

So like the other reviews have stated, as of January 24, 2018, there are no refill cartridges available anywhere online (not even on Kodak's website). I placed an order for them with BH Photo & Adorama (they're both back ordered), and I'm hoping they'll restock and arrive in the next month or so. To some extent, it's not all that surprising because it seems the Mini 2 only launched recently. That said, it's REALLY annoying that Amazon recommends a bundle with cartridges that DO NOT FIT! (seriously, what the heck is up with that, Amazon!)That said, the device itself still functions pretty well. Getting it to sync with your phone is a little bit tricky at first, but I managed to get it to connect without much issue. I noticed that photos taken with low lighting are printed a little darker than they appear on your mobile device, but photos taken outdoors or in good lighting are pretty closely replicated in the print. The app lets you adjust exposure, though, so I'm not all that concerned with slightly darker prints.I had contemplated a couple other options that use ZINK technology, but ultimately opted for the Kodak Mini 2 because of it's reliable printing technology. The pictures do come out really clear and pretty accurate in color (minus the exposure issue at times). If I had known the Mini 2 cartridges were unavailable, I would've gotten the older version of this (Kodak Mini). I just like the smaller size and design of the Mini 2 when I made my final decision. So if you don't want to deal with waiting for cartridges to come back in stock, check the Kodak Mini out!

I did a lot of research before deciding on this one for my daughter for her birthday. It came quickly and was exactly as described and well packaged. She has been super happy with it. She loves all the little pics she can print at the drop of a hat. The color quality is great which was the main reason I chose this specific printer. I would say you still should brighten your photos before printing because they do have a darker tint on paper than they do on your device. But it’s so much better than what I hear with other similar printers. Everything about this little printer was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for!

This is great for taking on the go when you want to share a fun moment with someone, easily print it out!The app Kodak uses is a bit antiquated, and it takes about a minute to print a photo fully, but then again I wouldn't expect a handheld printer to go any faster.I wish the photo quality matched that of the image on the phone. The quality of the photos isn't bad, but not 10/10 either.Worth it? Maybe. Depends on if you're the kind of person that likes to have/hold an actual photo... I am, and I enjoy this product a lot.

Just got this product and almost returned it because it wouldn't turn on. Following the instructions in the User Guide, I plugged it in to charge with the charging cable that it came with in the box. The charging light turned red, so I thought, all is well. Left it to charge. When I came back, the charging light was flashing red-green constantly. I unplugged it and tried turning it on, it wouldn't turn on. I made sure my adapter was following regular 5V-1A. I tried resetting it with a pin, checked the paper cartridge if something was jammed/wrong, nothing. Plugged to my computer and left it again to charge again for a few more hours, tried again, can't turn on. Reset second time, left to charge more again on another wall socket, still wouldn't turn on.The instruction manual warns in BOLD to only use the genuine cable provided, so that was what I did and scared to try anything else. Was so sad because I was really looking forward to this printer so much, but I thought, just tried one more time before I return it. So I tried charging using another micro-USB cable that I have around (genuine cable from my Kindle). And... IT WORKS. After a while, it CAN turn on. So I think the official cable it came with from Kodak wasn't fitted properly (it just won't plug in nicely like my Kindle cable did) and/or was faulty. I expected very high quality from Kodak, this really disappoints me.So if you got RED-GREEN flashing lights while charging Kodak MIni 2 and it wouldn't turn on, might worth a shot to try using other genuine cables that you have around.Just tried printing now, app works fine and connection via NFC was fast. You can't expect amazing/professional printing studio quality, but it's quite ok and I like it enough for something instant & super portable. Size of the photo is credit card size, which I really like. The printer is quite lightweight to carry around as well.
