## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Perfect for scrapbooking - I’m really pleased with this little printer. Perfect for my purposes. I like to include little pictures in various scrapbooks I make and I’m very impressed with the print quality, considering. A bit pricey (~75p/pic) but for the amount of pics I print it’s not a problem. The battery doesn’t last long, but it works while charging so that’s alright. Again, I’m not printing on the go so it doesn’t need to be all that portable. Great printer for printing little momentos for scrapbooks etc.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Microsoft Windows 10 laptops (via bluetooth)? Does it come with paper?**
A: This is designed to be used with either an Android or iPhone and even then you do need to down load the "Hi-Print mobile app" to your phone, so it is not designed to be used with Windows 10, as there is no app to edit/print the photos as Polaroid intends you to do, so if you really want to print from your laptop I would advise you to look at the Canon Selphy range of dye-sub printers, which I use and they also use same printing technique as the Hi-Print, but they are much more versatile, as it allows you to print wirelessly or from SD cards etc, and also to print a wider range of sizes (up to 6"x4"), not just small 2"x3" prints.

Regarding the question, "Does it conn with paper ?", the answer is a big resounding "NO" !
Also to back this up, if you look on the Amazon web page under "About this item", the 6th bullet point says "PHOTO PAPER NOT INCLUDED : Polaroid Hi-Print photo paper cartridges purchased separately (cartridge paper is sold separately)."

Summing Up :
This is a great little printer but doesn't give top quality prints that you would get with a full size inkjet printer or in a shop or bigger dye-sub printers such as the Canon Selphy (there are other makes of course), but it is good for what it is designed to do and that is give small prints very quickly when you are 'out and about' so that you can stick them into a scrap book (that is why the prints have adhesive on the back), diary or similar, and because it is small and portable (fits in your pocket), which in my book is its main advantage, but it is also not cheap to run either as the cost per print is quite expensive compared to other means.

I have been a professional photographer and have used a variety of differnt printers but it is a case of choosing the right printer for the job, for instance you wouldn't use this printer to put prints in a wedding album, but at birthday/Christmas parties it is ideal to give prints of photos you have taken on your phone to guests for them to take away and will make you very popular.
For instance my in-laws / nieces and nephews love getting given pics to take home that I take every Christmas for instance and also at a family wedding, where a lot of the guests had come from the USA and were flying home the next day.

So please DO think about the what will be the purpose of the prints you will produce and make the correct choice of printer based on that, personally if I am printing from my desktop, tablet or laptop I would firstly use my inkjet (wirelessly) or secondly my Canon Selphy, because if the range of sizes and quality of prints is much better - I just wouldn't want to print to the Polaroid Hi-Print to from those devices for those reasons.
As they say "Horses for Courses", and as my dad use to say "You wouldn't eat soup with a fork".

Hope this helps you a little !

**Q: do I need to buy paper AND a cartridge for this?**
A: Paper and carriage  all in one that why it not cheap

**Q: Does this come with a cartridge?**
A: no.
this is not true.
there is no cartridge or paper&ink with this item. must be bought separately

**Q: Approximately how many photos can be printed?**
A: Hello - there are 20 prints per pack of paper (no other consumables are needed) for around £15 per pack. The life of the printer is believed to be many hundreds of prints, possibly into the thousands

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality Sticker Prints.
*by T***E on 16 February 2023*

Paper Cartridges are expensive. Battery life is about 12 prints. Prints in about a minute and the quality is really good with a clear protective layer to protect the prints from water. I use it for printing labels for my minidisc recordings.
