  • Our take on the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro

    The Kodak Mini Shot 3 Retro is a hybrid instant camera and printer that shoots 13MP photos and prints 3x3 inch square prints using 4PASS dye-sublimation. Prints come out at 291 x 300 dpi with a glossy, water-resistant finish and no ink smudging, which is a step up in durability from Zink-based rivals like the Polaroid Hi-Print. It also works as a Bluetooth printer for phone photos via the Kodak app. Owners like the retro look and the print quality but complain about paper cost, slow printing and a dim 1.7-inch screen.

    Questions and answers

    Does the Kodak Mini Shot 3 Retro print without a phone?
    Yes. It has a 13MP camera and prints directly from the camera. A phone is only needed to print photos stored on your phone via Bluetooth.
    What paper does it use?
    It uses Kodak ICRG-330 cartridges for 3x3 inch prints. The paper is single-sided and not sticky, so you need tape or glue for scrapbooks.
    How is it different from the Polaroid Hi-Print?
    Both are dye-sublimation printers, but the Mini Shot 3 Retro has a built-in camera, while the Hi-Print is a printer only. Prints are square 3x3 inches on both.
    Can it print photos from an iPhone or Android phone?
    Yes, through the Kodak app over Bluetooth. The app also adds filters and frames before printing.
    Is the print water-resistant?
    Yes. Dye-sublimation prints are sealed and resist water and smudging better than Zink prints, though they can still fade with long sun exposure.
    What is in the box?
    The camera, a starter cartridge for a few prints, a USB charging cable and a quick start guide. A full cartridge is sold separately.
    Where is the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $149.99, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro?
    Rated 3.9 out of 5 from 113 ratings.
