I’ve been using the Instax Mini Link 3 for about a month now, and it’s easily become one of my favourite creative tools for personal use, gifts, and scrapbooking.Print qualityThe image quality is surprisingly good for an instant printer. Colours are vibrant, and details come through well when the source photo is high resolution. It won’t match professional printing, but for instant film, the output is sharp and consistent. The added rich mode setting in the app helps boost contrast and colour depth without overdoing it.Ease of useSetup took under five minutes. It connected to my phone via Bluetooth without any issues, and the companion app is simple and user-friendly. I especially like the editing tools – being able to crop, filter, and adjust brightness before printing is a small but meaningful improvement over older models.Design and portabilityIt’s lightweight, compact, and has a clean, minimalist look. The ribbed texture on the exterior gives it a nice grip. The USB-C charging is a welcome upgrade and feels more future-proof.Fun featuresThe motion controls are more than just a gimmick – swiping to print or tilting the printer to zoom adds a playful touch. You can also print stills from videos and create collage layouts or QR codes for messages, which is great for events, journaling, or personalised gifts.LimitationsThe main consideration is film cost. Instax Mini film isn’t cheap, and once you start printing frequently, it adds up. That said, the film is widely available and reliable in performance.

I always wanted an instant photo camera however with the price of the film was always reluctant. This printer is the perfect alternative. The printer itself is super light and compact if you want to carry with you. It takes approx 1.5hr charge out of the box via usb-c. Once charged set up is very quick and easy. There is also a light indicator you can check the battery life. It also has an auto shut off so no battery drain. Film is easy to insert and the app has a ton of features to customise your prints. If you’ve always wanted the joy of instant photos this is great to ensure you get the photo you want perfectly every time!

Bought this for my daughter as a gift a d she seems to be really pleased with it works fine !connects ok print quality acceptable little pricey but feels well made.

This is an amazing printer that produces credit card sized Polaroid style photos. Once on the app it’s very simple to customise the photos on your phone in whichever way you like. Add little doodles, borders or texts, the possibilities are endless. And the quality of the prints are very good. Dont forget to use Rich mode to print in and also that the first print is a dummy. Its Really good fun and replacement print cartridges are very reasonable and come in many different variations. I would recommend buying the Instax printer over an instant photo camera, as the picture quality, I think is far more superior.

Film cartridge getting stuck and not reading.
Initially there was a glitch with film getting stuck. But it would start working by itself.Now it has totally stopped reading any film cartridge. That too within a month.Seems like they are selling defective models in India.
