What to look out for when buying a portable photo printer

1. Utility

Before deciding on the best portable photo printer for yourself, think about what you want to use it for. Do you want to carry it around and print photos after a night out with friends as instant keepsakes? Or do you plan on only printing photos at home to paste in your scrapbook? Once decided, you can better determine the size and weight of your ideal photo printer.

Also, consider the additional functions your portable photo printer and its associated app have! Most photo printer apps come with a host of fun stickers, filters and customisation options. The latest trend in the world of portable photo printers is Augmented Reality (AR) functionality — print a single frame from a video as a photo and scan the resulting image with the app to see the video unfold on your screen.

2. Photo paper

After buying the photo printer, you’ll need to buy the photo paper or instant film like this Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Twin Pack (available on standardphoto_sg). Different printers use different kinds of paper and many often have brand-specific papers you’ll need to buy. Prices can vary depending on the kind of paper and finish. If you plan on frequently printing photos, then get a printer that uses more affordable photo paper because the costs can add up fast.

3. Picture quality

Different photo papers also produce different kinds of pictures. For example, the Instax Share photo printers use Instax film and give a vintage, old-school vibe. Photos printed on ZINK paper resemble regular developed photos more closely but may have lines across the image similar to those you see on inkjet printing. Think about what kind of look and feel you want from your photos and buy the best portable photo printer that produces that result.
