What customers say
Customers generally appreciate the Hi Print Generation 2 for its remarkable portability and user friendly application. Many find it incredibly simple to connect and print directly from their smartphones, making it a convenient tool for sharing physical memories. However, a recurring theme involves the print quality, with some users noting that colors can appear less vibrant or accurate than expected, occasionally leading to a slightly muted output. Despite this, the compact design and instant gratification often outweigh these minor color discrepancies for casual use.
Know before you buy
The printer uses a specific all-in-one paper cartridge that contains both the paper and the ribbon required for dye-sublimation printing. You cannot use standard photo paper; you must purchase the dedicated Polaroid Hi-Print 2x3 paper cartridges.
Unlike ZINK printers, which use heat-activated crystals in the paper, the Hi-Print uses dye-sublimation technology. This process applies heat to transfer dye onto the paper, resulting in richer colors, smoother gradients, and a more professional, traditional photo-lab look.
No, the printer connects directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth. As long as you have the Polaroid Hi-Print app installed on your device, you can print photos anywhere without needing an internet or Wi-Fi connection.
Yes, the 2x3 inch prints feature an adhesive back. Once you peel off the protective liner, you can stick your photos directly onto journals, walls, or scrapbooks.
Yes, the Polaroid Hi-Print app is necessary to send images to the printer. The app also serves as your editing suite, allowing you to crop, add filters, text, and stickers before you print.
