I did decide to buy one and I could not be happier. I read alot of negative commentson picture quality ...

I will start off by stating that I read alot of the reviews for the Polaroid Zip Printer before I purchased one. I did decide to buy one and I could not be happier. I read alot of negative comments on picture quality but I have not encountered that at all. Some say not to edit in the Polaroid app, but again, no issues editing within the app for me. Pictures come out wonderful! I have also printed pictures edited and enhanced in photo editor apps and again they come out great. Take the time to get to know the app, and the printer. My only complaint if there is one, is the battery life Is a bit short. But I don't see that as an issue either. Just use a power bank to power it use it away from home. Most people have one of those these days. I didn't expect much from this printer going into it, but I am very pleased with ease of use and picture quality. I would purchase this again.

Absolutely love this printer

I totally love this little printer. I got it to add picture to mine and my granddaughters planner I purchased for her. We both had fun adding pictures of the fun things we did when she stayed a week with us. Yes, the pictures do tend to be dark if you don't brighten them before printing them out. Love that you can peel off the back of the photo and stick it wherever you want. My granddaughter liked it so much that she has put it on her Christmas list. Very easy to set up and use.

Edit on your phone, not within the app.

I was iffy about buying this after reading all the reviews saying the images printed dark. The trick is to make the image lighter on your phone, do not edit within the app. The picture on the left was made brighter within the app and the one on the right was edited on my phone first. Love this product.

I really don't get why so many of the people hate this printer

Ok, I really don't get why so many of the people hate this printer. It is mobile printer, doesn't need cartridge, you just need to buy zink paper and it prints. Some say colours come too dark, well, make it little brighter before printing. Application is not that great, but it does it's job. There are litterally hundreds of applications, that can help you editing your pictures, than put your in pollaroid app and just print it. For me this is really nostalgia thing, i have used polaroid camera in my childhood, and it's instant printig was really amaizng. I have few of pictures hanging in my album. So i think, you should buy this printer, if you want want to print small, sticker pictures instantly and share them with some of your friends. Want better quality pictures? go print them with proffesional printers.

Print Quality is Great!

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We were very pleased with the print quality, which I was happy to hear that my husband thought it was pretty good too, considering he is an advertising photographer. I guess it is really all about what you EXPECT to get compared to what you ACTUALLY get. Some people set themselves up to be disappointed. We had no preconceived notions about this device, nor did we get our hopes up for the prints to come out amazing. Really, for $100, it just seemed like a fun little gadget to have that hopefully would print halfway decent. And THAT it does! I was very happy with how these first two photos printed. I added a sepia filter (there are filters, stickers, borders, etc. you can add from the ZIP printer) to the photo of my dog and I, as well as a couple of stickers. The other one, of my husband and I, was printed as-is from my phone. The printer does come with a few photo sheets to get you started, but I didn’t count them before I put them into the printer. (Although I read on another review that it comes with 10.) I highly recommend the ZIP printer. It’s a relatively inexpensive way to bring the nostalgia back to taking photos and actually holding one in your hands, rather than just looking at a bright screen. Oh, the photo paper has a sticky back too, should you want to slap the photo you just printed onto someone’s forehead or something. 🤪 I’m going to bring this with me to work tomorrow to show some of my awesome coworkers!

Fun printer, Make sure you download the updated App!

This is a really fun little printer! The print quality is good and suited for the purpose of instant photo gratification. If you are expecting studio quality prints than this probably isn’t for you. But, if you’re looking for an instant camera to print photos at parties, for crafts, and to get your pics out of the digital space then give this printer a try. You can edit photos to your hearts content in the app prior, and because you are using your phone camera the picture quality/zoom/colors come out nicer than with a point and shoot instant camera. The paper is more economical than other instant camera options, around $22 for a 50 pack of paper. Some advice. Make sure you scan the QR code on the back of the box and download the correct app, “Polaroid Zip” NOT the QR code from the instruction booklet- it is outdated and the app doesn’t work. The Correct app is called “Polaroid Zip” its black with a rainbow icon for iPhones. There are two versions in the Google Play App Store, if you download the wrong one you won’t be able to print! Overall we are really happy with our purchase. 👍🏼

Expensive but worth it if you use often.

I feel this is a "luxury" printer and I saved for awhile to get it. I feel it is definitely worth it. I often use it to print 3 to 4 photos on one sheet for small projects like my planner. I love that it has sticker paper already on the back. I do have to lighten the photos before printing but I don't mind doing that. There are tons of cute ways to display these and I love being able to print a recent photo to give to someone or put in a card right at that moment. I usually wait until I see the paper on sale on Amazon to purchase, which is fairly often.

Great travel buddy

This device is freaking cool! It's way better to take my pictures on my phone. Modify them and then print them on the zip than to waste shot after shot with a polaroid instant cam. The app is ok, does what it is intended for. I just wish i could send from my PC. Other than that? It is worth it! I give it a 5.9 on the quality of film. I did noticed the off colors but if u take a good contrast picture it will look way better. This technology in bigger paper would be badass!

Greatest mini printer.

I did a lot of research on printers and by far this is the best to buy. The reasons are endless, but the app and the printer makes beautiful pictures. There are so many options from boarders, adjusting lighting, resizing, rotating, collage and the list goes on and on. This little printer does more than a big one can. Another added bonus is the picture back peels of to use as a sticker or put on a magnet for the office pics. I use my planner also like a memory keeper of the day to day happenings. So when I can grab a quick pic of the grandkids, in the moment, on my phone later in the evening I print the perfect size and stick it into my planner. Now I am not letting little moments slip away. Nor do I have to drag a photo album out to see it. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this printer and will be giving them as gifts this year to family and friends. 10 Stars and all thumbs up!
