Flyer Pritning has given us a revival of the instant pint camera with its instax devices, and our smartphones are allowing us to create faded, aged, filtered, square-cropped photos at the touch of a screen. But our smartphones can’t spew out a shake-to-develop print and not everyone wants an instant camera in addition to their smartphone (and possibly a few other picture-taking devices, too). So how about a printer that connects wirelessly to your smartphone and can churn out instant prints? Marvellous!
It’s the Fujifilm instax SHARE SP-1. Although really it deserves a far more catchy name.
For the love of something, anything, the instax SHARE SP-1 deserves a better name
In short, you download Fujifilm’s free app to your phone and it lets you choose photos to send to the printer wirelessly. In long, you can have quite a lot of fun with it, too. There are enlarge and reduce options and black and white and sepia filters. You can record a precise moment with the Real Time template, which prints the date/time, place, weather, temperature, and humidity on the photo. The Limited Edition template numbers each print of a given image with a serial numbe. And if you choose to print an image that you’ve uplaoded to Facebook or Instagram, you can print it with your profile photo and its number of likes, too.

It measures 101.6mm by 42mm by 122.5mm and takes Fujifilm instant Color Film‘instax mini’. The expected UK price is between £140 and £150. They’ll be available in March. I could be tempted by one of these, so that I can pin photos on my fridge.
