How does it compare with ZINK printers like the Canon Ivy?

It uses dye-sublimation, so prints are sharper and more smudge-resistant than ZINK. ZINK paper is cheaper and needs no cartridge, but prints feel softer and fade faster.

What paper does it take?

Only Polaroid Hi-Print 2x3 paper cartridges. Each cartridge includes the paper and the dye film, and third-party paper will not work.

Do I need the app to print?

Yes. You pair over Bluetooth and print from the Polaroid Hi-Print app, which also adds frames, templates and memes.

Are the prints stickers?

Yes. Each print has a peel-off backing so you can stick it to journals, lockers or gifts.

How big are the prints?

Each print is 2x3 inches, roughly the size of a business card, so it suits sticking rather than framing.

Does it have a battery?

Yes, it is rechargeable and pocket-sized, so you can print without a wall outlet.

Our take on the Polaroid Hi·Print 2x3 Generation 2 Pocket Photo Printer

The Polaroid Hi-Print 2x3 Generation 2 is a pocket-sized Bluetooth printer that turns phone photos into 2x3-inch prints you can peel and stick. It uses dye-sublimation with Polaroid's Hi-Print paper cartridge, so prints come out dry, smudge-resistant and ready to handle. The Hi-Print app adds frames, templates and memes before printing. It suits people who want quick sticky prints for journals, lockers and gifts rather than lab-quality photos; rivals like the Canon Ivy and HP Sprocket use ZINK paper, which is cheaper per print but softer and less durable. Owners rate it highly for print quality and ease of use, though many flag the cost of paper and the small print size.
