Fujifilm Charges $170 to Slightly Blur and Muddy Your Memories Faster
KEY POINTS
- •Fujifilm released the Instax Mini Link+ printer priced at $169.95 as an update to their popular $100 Mini Link model.
- •The new Design Print mode aims to produce crisper text and illustrations but only moderately improves contrast and color.
- •Reviewers noted that despite improvements, the prints still appear soft and muddy, casting doubt on the upgrade's value.
Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Link+ wanders onto the scene as a $169.95 contender, trumpeting a Design Print mode that promises crisp text and detailed drawings—yet delivers something closer to "soft and muddy" nostalgia. Despite the previous $100 Mini Link’s loyal following in travel journals, the upgrade mainly jazzed up contrast and colors. Reviewer notes ironically highlight that while the new printer touts state-of-the-art processing, the corner of your notebook stuck with these tiny prints might still scream, 'Why didn't I just use Instagram?' If you’re into overpriced photo glue sticks, this might just be your quirky new best friend.

For $170, you can either fund a mediocre printer or buy three mediocre pizzas. Guess which option prints memories better?
Design Print mode promises sharp text but prints resemble the visual equivalent of your dog sitting on the page.
