Fujifilm Instax Link Wide review

My verdictThe only printer on this site that makes landscape prints you can tape to a wall within a minute. Film is expensive; that’s the price of fun.

Best forParties, travel journals and wide landscape photos

Fujifilm Instax Link Wide in detail

Wide film changes how it feels

Instax Wide cards measure roughly 4.25 x 3.4 inches. That’s bigger than mini and more forgiving of landscapes. You print via Bluetooth from the free app, with two color modes: Rich for strong color, Natural for a more restrained look.

The math

A 40-print Instax Wide film pack was priced at about $1.25 per print when the data was pulled. That’s roughly three times a dye-sub print. Fine for a party, a poor way to print a wedding album.

Version note

A Link Wide 2 listing exists but had no ratings when the data was collected. The original has 4.7 from 197 ratings on the kit I feature. I’d read what has changed before paying a premium for the newer one.

Film and what to pair it with

Instax Wide film packs of 40 worked out to about $1.25 a print on the listing I pulled. A bigger print costs more, but it’s also the format that suits landscapes and group photos.

Link Wide or Link Wide 2

The newer model’s listing had no ratings when the data was pulled. If you’re buying today, compare the older model’s 4.7 from 197 ratings with what the new one has collected.

The catches

  • Film is pricey.
  • It’s an instant print, not an archival one.
  • Bluetooth app dependence.

What it costs to run, worked out

Each print costs about $1.25 in film or paper, estimated from the packs in my data. That is roughly three times a 4 x 6 dye-sub print, and it is the price of the format.
