Our Verdict

Canon IVY Mini Photo Printer

Fujifilm instax Link WIDE

The Fujifilm instax Link WIDE and the Canon IVY Mini Photo Printer are both portable photo printers that use proprietary film with a similar aesthetic to Polaroid film. The Fujifilm is the better choice overall. It has superior print and color quality, as its wider color gamut and better color accuracy make photos appear more vivid and detailed. It also has a significantly longer battery life, and if you use a Fujifilm camera, you can print directly from your camera. On the other hand, the Canon has much lower recurring costs, as its photo paper is cheaper.
