instax mini Link Hack 5.5.0 + Redeem Codes

I really recommend this printer, especially if you hate having to bring a big heavy camera everywhere. It is a great way to give away instax pictures as a gift, and I can use pictures from 3 years ago! I really think this is a great product, and I was scared that I shouldn’t have gotten it at first because of seeing all the reviews, but the problem with that is because they weren’t using it correctly. You need to charge it for almost 2 hours and it will connect to the device immediately. Please don’t judge this by the reviews.

Also, I don’t think the quality is that bad, I was comparing the quality to the quality of my instax camera, and I have to admit that the printer doesn’t turn out as good as the camera, but the quality is still good. That isn’t a problem for me anyways because I usually just put it on my wall, and you can’t see the difference when it’s up there.

This is best media to enjoy our memories if we get an EMP bomb ( no electronics- we lose the internet and all emergency connections online- meaning we need 1980’s tech( ham radios, landline phonelines connected like cable tv )
With this is like investing in gold - with photos in your hand - they’re real. Everything digital ( bank accounts will not be available ) phone photos will either be gone or not assessable until satellites signal’s fixed and power stations(years)
Save your photos people!

Updating my review because Instax fixed the print quality issues we were having after the June 2021 update. This July update has us back to printing successfully and we appreciate the response! It’s unfortunate that it took a month and quite a lot of wasted films (aka money) but it’s fixed.

I will say that I really wish that the prints didn’t lose all detail in the lighter colors. The range of colors on this printer are super limited and I don’t know if that’s due to the app or the chemical processing itself. The results are at times disappointing, especially with skin tones.

All in all the prints are charming in a retro way. It has its limitations but I’m happy to have it! Hint: buy the film in bulk if you can. Price per print is much more affordable this way.

We used the mini link, an iPad, and a large ring light for a photo booth at our wedding reception and were pretty happy with the results. We were a little worried that some guests would struggle, but it went pretty smoothly and was quite the hit.

There were a couple of annoyances and missing features that I’d love to see addressed, the most obvious of which is that pictures are mirrored even in the printout. Fortunately I can clean up and reprint the ones that matter, but it was annoying that the signs we had as props showed up in reverse. It is normal to use a reverse image for preview, but the instax app should save the image in its proper orientation.

We used the Instax Camera mode for the photobooth, though I’d love to see a dedicated mode that simplifies things even further. The mini link is capable of some nifty features, but these are mostly useless at an event where instructions need to be short and precise. I’d love a mode that makes it even easier to use in this type of situation.

Lastly, I’d like to request an additional timer option. For photo booth use, 10 seconds is uncomfortably long while 2 sec is pretty short. 5-6 seems pretty ideal.

As many of the reviews on here are about their phones not connecting to the printer, I had the same issues. My phone would not connect to the printer for about 30-40 minutes. This was very frustrating and I thought i had to return it. However, it wouldn’t connect because I didn’t have the printer properly charged. I read over the instructions that came with the printer and it says it on the first few pages to make sure that the printer is properly charged before using!!! I charged my printer for like 25 mins, wasn’t fully charged, and when i tried to connect it again it worked !!

This is an amazing app that’s easy to use. Connecting the device is easy and the printing is efficient. I’ve created many Polaroid images now that I love. I have a whole box full of them. One thing I wish this app had is more options in terms of editing. Maybe more filter options or edits such as sharpness, coolness, warmth. Doesn’t have to as intricate as the iPhone editing tools but having more variety would be nice. (Also a tip for beginners: always make the image slightly darker for it to come out as similarly to the original as possible)!

The app works great with my Instax mini printer. I take a pictures from my phone, pick the exact one I’d like and it prints. The printer or film is lighter developed than the original picture which is disappointing but I’ve found this with other instant mini printers also. Wish they could do better in this area as the manufacturers of the printer or film whichever it is. But this app is easy and convenient and I haven't had any problems with using it.

This is by far one of my favorite instax buys. I own 2 different model instax mini cameras and have tried 3 in total. The instax mini link is worth every penny. Taking my mini cameras everywhere during a trip isn’t always convenient. Having the opportunity to be able to go sit in a coffee shop or the hotel room after a long day and conveniently printing my photos makes me so happy. On top of that the quality of the prints exceeded my expectations.

It took about an hour for my bluetooth to connect but it finally worked (i have iphone xr). Once the printer was fully charged the bluetooth came up and let me connect. The app works nice and it easy to understand and to print and the photos come out pretty nice. Only one problem is sometimes it says “connection lost” or “timed out” and it disconnected my bluetooth and i have to wait like 5 mins for it to connect again but it doesn’t happen often.

after calling customer service and them telling me to “wait for an app update”, i finally decided to just look at the manual and figure it out myself. i have an iphone 11 pro and was really bummed out when i first bought the printer in december only to find out it wouldn’t connect to my phone. so yesterday i plugged it in and let it FULLY CHARGE. and went to try and connect my phone and it WORKED. the quality of the pictures were okay when i printed it and the app was fairly easy to use.
