Compared to Instax.

I've had an Instax printer for a few years now, and I can see that this little printer fills a similar need: quickly print pretty prints, right from your phone. Dimension wise this HP is similar in size but my god when you compare the width - WOW. It's like a third of the Instax thickness. Unlike the Instax, the HP charges with a micro USB cable, which is GREAT. Buying fewer new batteries and throwing away old batteries is always a good thing. With apps, the experience is similar. You send an image to the application and it prints. However, Instax is more inconvenient as it prints over a Wi-Fi network rather than a Bluetooth connection like HP. However, the HP app seems more bloated. Why all these augmented reality options and blah blah. Just print the damn picture! In terms of photo quality, the HP has bolder colors, slightly strange shades of green that show up around the edges. Instax is a lighter print with exposure, but the person feeling FILM can't be beat. That's part of what I love about Instax: it makes digital photos look like film. While HP is clearly a digital print of digital photography. It doesn't have the polloid Instax vibe that I really love. To recap, HP wins on almost all fronts: it's thinner, charges, and prints with richer colors. But for that movie vibe, nothing beats Instax. I'll call it a tie and maybe say These printers don't look as niche as I thought they would. If you get HP, you don't care about the atmosphere of the film. He is very good with numbers!
