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.
