Polaroid Hi·Print

I’m so in love with the portable *Polaroid printer! I got lucky and found it on sale!! Marked down to 35 bucks! When it’s originally $99, but you do have to buy the printer paper separate! It’s handy to keep if your car in case of an emergency & you may want to take a photo? I was thinking car accident, fits perfect if my glovebox!! Or if you are out with friends and family and would like to share the photos with your loved ones! It’s just nostalgic for me, even though it may not be the “originall” Polaroid camera, this one does well enough for me! a

This thing was fun with the first cartridge but has been a nightmare since. I bought it a year ago. When i inserted the second cartridge it didn't recognize it as full. Frustrated, i left it alone and let it sit for a year. When i tried to use it again, it started to work initially but then pulled two sheets and jammed. The foil that holds the color for the prints tore and got stuck in the rotating barrels when i pulled the cartridge out. I had to throw away $20, and try to remove the tiny pieces of film with a tweezer which was almost impossible. When i finally was able to get it out and inserted another new cartridge i had the same error as before, the printer isn’t recognizing the new paper in the cartridge. The lack of support and troubleshooting advice is pathetic on top of it. Don’t waste your money on this product. I spent almost $200 for this plus paper to get a total of ten prints. Do yourself a favor and get professional prints for that price

I came across this printer when my friend got one and was making a birthday present for her mom. She was printing a bunch of photos of them together and putting them in a collage. We were on FaceTime bc she was bored and needed someone to talk to while she printed all the photos. I received one of these as a Christmas present and I love it. I have a bulletin board in my room and I like to print out photos of my friends and me and post them on it. My oldest picture I printed out is a picture of me and my closest friend when we were around 5 or 6 years old. This printer is great for small little photos to keep as mementos. I have the Polaroid camera as well but I like the printer better since I can edit the photos and make them higher quality. The camera makes every picture look dark if you’re not a professional when it comes to picking the right setting. But yeah, all in all, it’s a little pricy, but worth it. I would recommend to everyone I come across. (Edit) I would also like to add that it is fun to watch your photo being printed. My little cousins would love to watch something like that for hrs.
