Great video :-) I started shooting instant photos with the Polaroid Snap Touch, a Zink camera/printer. I checked several Zink sheets/papers with it, from Polaroid, HP, LG etc. I used the blue Polaroid calibration sheet to use these different sheets with the Polaroid camera. And all of the papers have different colors tones. Some have warmer tones, some more blueish and others are more yellow. Same with a HP Sprocket 2 in 1. But with none of them i was really satisfied. A few months later i bought my first Instax camera and my first Instax printer. And i was blown by the photo quality, especially from the printer and photos from my phone. So i also prefer the Instax images over the Zink images. As you mentioned in your video the colors of the Zink photos aren't really reliable and are also really sensitive to sunlight, so they fade away really quick. So my fridge door is now filled with Instax photos instead of Zink photos ;-)
I've noticed with Instax (mini) that the prints do darken a bit over time. I had some pictures in a wallet for about a year, and noticed that they had become darker by about 5%. Not a big deal, but just worth noting in case you choose to underexpose your original shots.
Thanks. I have many year old Zink’s and some are still fine where others are not. It seems exposure to heat is bad, like the sun shining through a window baking the foto directly or a foto container. I am considering a Kodak mini 3 printer, promising to produce better visual quality laminated pictures, at a more affordable price per picture. But a downside is the media being a huge cartridge compared to Zink.
Hi, I agree there does appear to be longevity issues with Zink. I was looking at the Kodak 3 pass printers and they do seem a better option because they have a laminated layer so last much longer.

Thanks a lot it help me a lot
Can I use Zink paper in Intax mini evo?
That’s my question too, did you find out?
Também gostaria de saber.... vocês descobriram?
I don't think so, they're incompatible
Thank you.
I went with instax because I’m taking camera to places with extreme temperatures, and zink cameras have much lower operating temperatures than instax.

Having checked out reviews more closely, the Kodak unfortunately seems to have reliability issues.
@@highlanderes There is also the Polaroid Hi Print option but I have no experience with it. It’s more expensive compared to the Kodak printer.
