Valhalla, NY—The Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2 smartphone printer works with a free, downloadable app to feature new features that encourage creativity. The features include customizable frames and image color modes that help enhance the mood of an image.
In addition, INSTAXAiR is a feature that takes interactivity and personalization to a new level. It enables the smartphone printer to act as a tool that draws “in the air” and applies the effects directly to the printed image.
“Mini Link 2 encourages image makers to express themselves creatively through their prints,” said Bing Liem, president, Imaging Division, Fujifilm North America Corporation. “With highly innovative, fun as well as interactive features like INSTAXAiR, we’re establishing new ways to connect with and inspire Instax users as they create their images.”
Instax Mini Link 2 Key Features
The INSTAXAiR app feature allows users of the Mini Link 2 to add graphics to their prints. For example, they can add bubbles, petals, neon, spray paint or a glitter look. Moreover, they do so by holding the Mini Link 2, pressing the feature button on top and aiming the side LED to draw in the air.
What is drawn in the air will appear on the print preview in-app. Furthermore, once the user is happy with the look, the graphics will appear on the print itself when printed with the Mini Link 2.
In addition, users of the INSTAXAiR feature can record a video of the drawing and share the moment as a printable QR code that appears on the print. Consumers can scan the QR code to view the video, download it or share it on social media.
What’s more, the printer is compact, lightweight and finished with a tonal, striped texture. It transfers images from the user’s smartphone and commences printing in about 15 seconds. It also supports continuous printing and prints about 100 Instax prints per charge via Bluetooth.
Customize Instax Prints
Furthermore, the Instax Mini Link 2 app contains a variety of design frames that overlay onto selected images. Users can also choose between two image color modes. Instax-Rich Mode creates deep, enhanced colors; Instax-Natural Mode provides a more original look.
Users can also enhance their smartphone images with artistic filters or by adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation. They can additionally combine up to eight pictures into a single Instax print collage via the app’s collage feature.
In addition to smartphone compatibility, the Mini Link 2 printer is compatible with Fujifilm’s X-S10 mirrorless digital camera.
The Mini Link 2 printer comes in soft pink, clay white as well as space blue versions. Shipping June 22, 2022, it has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $99.95.
New Film Variety Also Added
Accompanying the launch of the Mini Link 2 is the new Instax Mini Spray Art instant film. The film boasts a colorful rainbow spray design that reflects light. The new film will also launch on June 22, 2022. It will retail for $15.75.
