While I am returning the item I thought it'd be a good way to write what I thought about it. As someone who likes to journal and is a big fan of instant camera/prints, I was excited to buy one of these printers. I read plenty of reviews, both good and bad, but in the end I wanted to get my hands on one. It has a lot of greats thing that I enjoy about it. The size of the sheets are nice and the pricing of 20 sheets per 9.99 is decent. I love that you can edit the pictures, add borders, stickers, words, and play around with filters. While it is small and portable, it does not fit in your pocket, but does in a bag or purse. The cons, however, outweighed the pros in my mind. While I kept going back and forth on whether I wanted to return it, the down sides pushed me to return it. The pictures aren't the best quality, while I wasn't expecting amazing quality, and read the reviews and knew they weren't the best. I was so surprised and sad how many of the pictures turned out. In some, the pictures look washed out, in others they're too dark, and in others they look just plain terrible. There are a few pictures that look nice but 4 or 5 great pictures out of 20 is not great. When you want to print something you see what you want it to look like on your screen, and seeing it not come out that way on paper is disappointing. It's not like with instax cameras/polaroid cameras where sometimes it's a gamble whether the picture will turn out great. For the quality of the pictures, the price didn't seem too fair. I also don't like that the zink paper that is needed for this product crinkles up from the sides after a few days. As I mentioned earlier, I like to journal, and sometimes I like to print out things I find on pinterest, and even those sometimes came out great and other times they didn't. I was never 100 percent sure if I was going to like my picture or not. It does have great functions but even then 130 dollar doesn't make sense to me. If it costs a lot less, maybe I would've kept it, but even then I'm not sure.
