Newest edition to the instax™ Link series of smartphone printers brings new capabilities to the popular wide-format instant printer
FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Imaging Division, today announced the launch of the next generation of its wide-format smartphone printer – instax Link WIDE 2™ smartphone printer (hereafter Link WIDE 2). Building on the popularity and success of the original instax Link Wide™ smartphone printer that debuted in 2021, Link WIDE 2 brings a variety of new, interactive features to fans of instax™ wide instant photography.
“Our instax™ WIDE products are always highly sought after by a very dedicated fan base within the instax™ ecosystem,” said Bing Liem, division president, Imaging Division, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “We listened to what our WIDE fans wanted, and what we heard most often and resoundingly was them asking when a new WIDE printer was coming out. Link Wide 2’s new features are designed to make each image distinctly personalized through the accompanying Link WIDE™ app. We’re excited to see how our WIDE fans get creative with this cool new printer and app.”
A key new feature of Link WIDE 2 is its Photo Mixer™ app feature. Users can pick favorite images from their smartphone’s camera roll and with a touch of the “Mix it” button, the app will generate a selection of collage-style layouts to choose from. Users can remix up to five times, then fine-tune with custom edits before quickly printing instax™ WIDE photos or sharing online.
Also within the instax Link WIDE™ app, users can access a multitude of expressive frames, filters, emojis, color modes, and text to customize their prints before printing or sharing them. Users can further personalize their images with over 1,600 in-app stickers.
In the app, users can add smartphone-scannable QR codes to their instax™ WIDE photos to share links, locations, hidden messages, or even sound clips related to their images.
