A New Era in Smartphone Printing

FUJIFILM has yet again redefined the smartphone printing experience with the introduction of the INSTAX MINI LINK 3. This new printer, when paired with the free INSTAX MINI LINK App, introduces a suite of innovative features designed to amp up creativity and personalization. If you’re a photography enthusiast or just someone who loves capturing life’s moments, the MINI LINK 3 promises to revolutionize your photo printing experience.

Key Features of the INSTAX MINI LINK 3

INSTAX AiR Studio™

One of the standout features of the INSTAX MINI LINK 3 is the INSTAX AiR Studio™. This feature utilizes augmented reality (AR) to allow users to capture and enhance their images like never before. With a variety of 3D AR effects, users can add background templates, balloons, hearts, garlands, and even animated features to their photos. These creations can be saved and used for future printing or sharing, adding a unique touch to your photos.

Click to Collage

The Click to Collage feature brings the fun of a photo booth to your smartphone. It captures a series of six images at three-second intervals, allowing users to select the best two, four, or six to print as a collage on INSTAX MINI instant films. Additionally, this feature converts the series of photos into an animation that can be directly shared on social media through the app. It’s a fun and creative way to display multiple moments in one print.

Triple LED Lighting

The MINI LINK 3 features triple LED lighting on the front, which indicates various functions such as printing status and battery life. This not only adds a stylish element to the printer but also makes it easier for users to understand the printer’s status at a glance. Combined with its lightweight and compact design, the triple LED lighting makes the MINI LINK 3 both functional and fashionable.

Compact Design and Speed

With its textured exterior and built-in LED accent lighting, the MINI LINK 3 is both lightweight and stylish. It can transfer an image from a smartphone and begin printing in approximately 15 seconds, making it one of the fastest smartphone printers available. The printer also supports continuous printing and can produce around 100 INSTAX MINI instant photos on a single charge when connected via Bluetooth. The development time for these instant films is roughly 90 seconds.

Customization Options

The INSTAX MINI LINK App provides a plethora of customization options to enhance your printing experience. You can apply design frames to your images, choose between two color modes—INSTAX-Rich Mode for vibrant, enhanced colors, or INSTAX-Natural Mode for a more authentic appearance. Additionally, you can fine-tune your photos using filters or by adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation levels. These options ensure that every print is uniquely yours.

Availability and Pricing

The INSTAX MINI LINK 3 will be available in three stylish colors: Pink, White, and Sage Green. The anticipated release date is in late August, with a retail price set at $99.95 USD. Additionally, a new INSTAX MINI instant film variety called “SPRINKLES”, featuring a lively border design, will also be available in late August, priced at $15 USD. This new film variety adds an extra layer of fun to your photo printing experience.

Conclusion

With its array of innovative features, including the INSTAX AiR Studio, Click to Collage, and extensive customization options, this printer offers a unique and engaging experience. Its compact design and quick printing capabilities make it exceptionally versatile, allowing users to capture and share life’s moments in a fun and creative way.
