Buying tips
- Three main technologies: thermal (cheap, B&W, fades), Zink (inkless, sticker-backed) and dye-sublimation (best colour and longevity).
- Cost per print — refills, not the printer — is the long-term expense.
- Instax printers produce real instant-film prints, at a higher cost per photo.
Quick answers
Do mini printers need ink?
Thermal and Zink printers use no ink; dye-sub printers use a ribbon cartridge paired with paper.
