Fujifilm Unveils the Instax Mini Link 2 Smartphone Printer
Fujifilm has announced the Instax Mini Link 2 Smartphone Printer and free Mini Link 2 downloadable app that turns your smartphone images into Instax Mini Prints.
“Instax mini Link 2 encourages image-makers to express themselves creatively through their prints,” said Shin Udono, Senior Vice President, Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM Europe. “With highly innovative, fun, and interactive features like instaxAiR, we’re establishing new ways to connect with and inspire Instax users as they create their images.”
instaxAiR allows users to add graphics to their prints, via the free downloadable Instax mini Link App1, including bubbles, petals, neon, spray paint, or a glitter look by simply holding the Instax mini Link 2, pressing the feature button on top, whilst aiming the side LED to start drawing in the air. What is drawn in the air will then appear on the print preview in-app and once the user is happy with the look, the graphics will appear on the print itself. Users of the instaxAiR feature can even record a video of the drawing and share the moment as a printable QR code that appears on the print. The QR code can be scanned to view the video, download it, or share it on social media.
Compact, lightweight, and finished with a striped texture, Instax mini Link 2 transfers a print in about 15 seconds, supports continuous printing and is capable of printing about 100 Instax mini prints per charge, seamlessly via Bluetooth2.
The Instax mini Link 2 app contains a variety of design frames that can be overlaid onto the selected image for a one-of-a-kind Instax instant print. Users can choose between two image color modes – Instax-Rich Mode for deeper, enhanced colors and Instax-Natural Mode for a more original look. Smartphone images can also be enhanced with artistic filters or by adjusting the brightness, contrast, and saturation of the image. Users also can combine up to eight pictures into a single Instax print collage via the app. In addition to smartphone compatibility, Instax mini Link 2 is also compatible with the FUJIFILM X-S10 mirrorless digital camera, allowing photographers to send their images directly from the camera to the printer.
Accompanying the launch of the Instax mini Link 2 will be the new Instax mini Spray Art Instant Film, featuring a colorful rainbow spray design that reflects light. It’s the perfect complement to the instaxAiR feature, or fun on its own, making any special image pop with added color. This film variety will be available for purchase on 22nd June 2022 across Europe at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of €9.99.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2 is available in three colorways: soft pink, clay white, and space blue. It will be available to purchase beginning on June 22, for $99.95.
