So torn between this and the square printer, I like the classic Polaroid look of the square printer but also like that this gives you more real estate when needed. The square printer seems to be sold out everywhere though. I wish Fuji would make one that could accept all 3 options of print paper
Thanks for your honest feedback man! your vibe is super chill & you actually made me switch from wanting the square to buying the wide now. the aesthetics of the wide format are amazing and like you said even the portrait format doesn’t look weird 😌🤝🏻
Thank you so much for this review. I just came across someone using the camera/printer combo. I started doing some research and felt this printer might be a better choice. I want to be free to print out the highlights of an upcoming trip. So, this works for me!
Found this now, still helpful! Bought it. I think what deters me from most instax cameras are the shitty lenses / quality, while the price for film is relatively high. This way, you still get the "polaroid" look, but can really choose your pints selectively! I wanted to do this for the weddings I shoot too, and it doesn't hinder the workflow (eg having to wait for a print and then storing it safely somewhere).
Yeah, it was the launch of the EVO that bought me into thinking about Instax too. I decided not to get the EVO because it has a sub-par camera and then looked elsewhere that ended up in buying a Link Wide printer, influenced mostly by one RUclips creator mentioned that older folks will appreciate the large size. For me, the Instax is for fun and wish to get a print instantly, otherwise I can use my Canon Selphy printer instead. Also, I especially like to create quick collage of a subject through time, such as a person, homes, cars, etc., without being too serious about it.
im so grateful to come across your channel bro. you're eye to capturing moments is superb and its very inspiring. i don't usually subscribe but you deserve it man. keep it up brotha! wish you the best and happy holidays ❤
Not sure if you’re in the US, but there is a craft store called Michael’s. I happened to find a gold painted one there. It has been great and is still holding up perfectly!
Sometimes I have this struggle from choosing rich or natural mode. Natural seems to wash some of the colors of the original photo and rich mode seems to make colors more warm. How do you usually choose before printing a film?
So I use a paid program called light room. Most people don’t use it unless they are a photographer but it basically gives you the ability to edit your photos with full control. So I usually take a photo on my Sony, send it to my computer to edit, and then print it without any of the filters in the app. I do believe though the Lightroom mobile app is free, you just input your email and such. Give it a try.
I have this printer, do you do much post processing using apps or photoshop? The rich mode is my default setting, but the colors are not as the retina screen suggests the output is as the developed picture looks. So do I enhance it less or extreme for the best possible image color saturation is closer. Landscape and still life computer better than a group of faces, due to the different skin tones to reproduce. single portrait, and generic landscape, 1/3 composition seems to be acceptable, but not as vibrant as the retina IPS HQ type screens shows. RGB vs reflective inks is the old conflict issue. Dull the screen and lower brightness level to match about 70% of the output color profiles that be will rendered. Or just stick to the monochrome prints.
for these prints i try not to stress it too much. i just edit a photo how i normally would in LR and print. i find mine come out a little more saturated but i dont mind. the resolution is the biggest difference. not as sharp as the screen rendering but again i just let it be. hope that helps :)
By FAAR the best video I saw on the Link Wide. Appreciate especially the comparison to 4 x 6, since I could not decide but they are really 2 different things. I guess I will also get the Link Wide and just go to a drug store if I need a big quantity of printed photos. On the topic of the EVO, Fuji would kill it if they brought over their "real" Film Simulations from the X-Line like Classic Chrome or Velvia to the EVO 2. Then you could really get some great prints right from that moment.
Thanks brotha! EVO with film simulations would honestly be sick. Like I mentioned I was soooo close to getting the EVO. They almost have it down. Appreciate the comment and thanks for checkin out the vid!
Lovely video, not like most of the reviews. What I still am not sure about. Is the image changing when printing? Like to look like a retro photo, instant photo? So if I edit my photos with LR or VSCO, will the printer change the tones and colors? Unsharpen? Or do I know what I get?
Hey thanks for checking it out! You’re basically going to get an image that looks exactly like your LR edit, but of course slightly less sharp. I don’t think it’s a high res printer by nature, but they still come out very nice!
Good stuff. Intro was lovely. Just picked this up. Bought plenty of color film. But was wondering if you’ve tried the monochrome? It’s pricier, so hoping for impressions.
@@xhynetuseinovski i better subsribe to you because you will have more important info in other photography and camera and printer videos. I have a polaroid now and fuji square 1 camera. my digital camera i haven't used in years and tried t=o use it again but the on off button is pressed in. i am shocked seeing stores mainly carry only a few brands anymore. i guess because people use smart phones more. what brand digital camera do you use
I don't have a any experience with these fuji printer. Now my phone is full of my baby pictures I want to print them all because they are great souvenir souvenir for me.can I use the app to print them from my Samsung s10?
The films are so expensive. I'm making do with my old Canon Selphy which I can bring with me in the car or a larger messenger bag and print on the go too. The colors are accurate too.
I think thats the style of that kind of film. Old polaroid film also had a certain look. Actually, all film has different looks. The battery to the selphy is experience tho 😢
To bad that the white edge on just one side will be bigger in vertical portrait orientation. Would like it to have white borders that will fit all photos.
Do you have sharpness issues? Especially if I shoot something with shallower DOF it comes out blurry. I even cropped to the exact size in Photoshop. And this is the second one of these I tested out - I sent the first one back thinking it was defective.
It's cool and all, but I personally find this to be a little too artificial. For me, the whole point of Instax is the charm of its shittiness and the fact that once you take a photo, that's it, you can't edit it or print an identical copy.

Thank you for the review, specially for putting that extra effort and passion on that beautiful intro!
really appreciate that! 🙏🏻

It’s one of those situations where you justify buying both lol.
The only Link Wide review that talks about image quality, thanks for this. Beautiful video by the way!
Much appreciated man thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for this very intelligent and artistic review (probably the best I've seen across multiple categories in YT)!
that means a lot man thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for your honest feedback man! your vibe is super chill & you actually made me switch from wanting the square to buying the wide now.

Glad I could help!
I watched so many videos after purchasing my instax printer and I love your genuine input. It’s very relatable to why I purchased it too.
wow thank you 🙏🏻 exactly what i was going for.
You got a very good point on buying the printer Vs all in one camera and printer. Thanks for the Vid!
thanks man 🙏🏻

Thanks Marc! Have not tried the monochrome yet but now that you mention it I should add that to the list!
Excellent review. Thank you for providing your unbiased opinion.
Glad it could help :)
I liked your points of view about the printer. good job and helpful.
Thanks man glad it could help 🙏🏻

Great honest review

Such a good intro man, Congrats!
Appreciate it man 🙏🏻

Yeah that’s one of the cons to this printer.

hi just wondering can you connect your instax wide to your x-series camera’s?
i don’t have a fuji camera so i’m not sure but i thought i heard that you can
I love this guy
🙏🏻✌🏼❤️
Interesting thoughts. 😊
indeed ☺️
To bad that the white edge on just one side will be bigger in vertical portrait orientation. Would like it to have white borders that will fit all photos.
Square might be better for you than
How many photos can be printed with one ink cartridge?
10
It is beautifual and interesting video.
thank you 🙏🏻
DUDE what an intro… wow
Haha thanks bro. 🙏🏻
Do you have sharpness issues? Especially if I shoot something with shallower DOF it comes out blurry. I even cropped to the exact size in Photoshop. And this is the second one of these I tested out - I sent the first one back thinking it was defective.
I think overall the blur doesn’t translate well. but everything else is sharp. i think your fine.
My photos look great on my phone but look so washed out when I print it
Yeah even with my 24megapxl camera they don’t come out absolutely crisp but i also believe it wasn’t intended to do so based on that fact.
thats the style of the film tho. Its what I call the polaroid look
the only problem with the printer: micro USB port
oh yeah for sure. maybe usb-c.
Review starts at 1:50

I would just stay in your intro
ultra nostalgic?
It's cool and all, but I personally find this to be a little too artificial. For me, the whole point of Instax is the charm of its shittiness and the fact that once you take a photo, that's it, you can't edit it or print an identical copy.
To each his own bro. Buy and use it however you like. Free your mind 🙏🏻 more than one way to see things. Peace.
the absolute drama
thanks glad you liked it!
