What to look for in an instant photo printer

1. Print Quality

The resolution of the printer is key to the quality of the prints. Higher resolution means more detailed images, but also typically comes with a higher price tag.

2. Portability

If you're planning on taking your printer on the go, it's important to consider its size and weight. Some models are small enough to fit in a pocket or purse.

3. Ink Type

Some printers use Zink technology, which doesn't require ink cartridges, while others use traditional ink or dye-sublimation technology. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

4. Connectivity

Consider how the printer connects to your devices. Some printers connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, while others require a physical connection.
