Review: Kodak Printomatic Instant print camera

The Kodak Printomatic makes instant prints on 2 x 3 inch paper without using any ink. It's simple to use and one of the smallest sized instant printers you can pick up.
About the camera:
- 10 megapixels
- f/2.2 aperture
- slot for microSD card (32GB max)
- Lithium Ion battery (Prints 20 photos per charge)
- Charge time: 1.5 hours
Taking pictures without paper will store photos in the microSD card (if you have one inserted).

*Loving my **Bestt.Digital** portable Printer. Small enough to carry in my little bag and not at all heavy. Getting a lot of use out of it and having a great time printing on the go. Works for me.*

Really looking foraward to mine coming in the mail. I already have a DSLR, but I was looking for something small and easy to keep on me all the time. I am going on a study abroad to Seoul next semester, so I am really excited about the small print sizes and adhesive so it can easily go into my travel journal!

[@FirstL00k]

Thats a great idea! You'll have so much more vivid memories with the addition of pics to your journal! I hope you have a great time in Seoul (try hard not to join the BTS army, lol!)

[@Clintaso]

Great review. I was interested in getting this as a pseudo-disposable camera. Where I’d take pictures without paper and “develop” the pictures from the SD card later on. You answered every question I had regarding the behavior of the camera with only an SD card and no paper.

Kodak is always innovating. Canon and Nikon are in fact reaping fruits of Kodak's innovation. This company is really awesome. I have Kodak Ektra mobile phone, and trust me, its the best and the most handy and user friendly phone I have ever used.

[@MXY03]

Hi, your video was really nice and useful too watch, thank you! But i was wondering for how long you can keep the zink paper? Cause I dont know of I should buy 20 pièces or 50 pièces of paper

[@FirstL00k]

Thank you very much! About the shelf life, it's a good question. I haven't noticed any expiration date, so I can't say for sure. But I can tell you that Zink technology prints colors using heat pulses, so I reckon as long as it's sealed in the wrapper and kept away from intense heat/light, it should be fine.

[@rachellefebres4183]

Thank you for this! ❤

[@jakeharding8447]

Do you have to put the blue bit of paper back in after every photo printed?

[@FirstL00k]

This is a simple point and shoot with an instant print - there is no built-in editing functions. If you want to edit, you need to copy your photos from the micro SD card to a computer and use a program like Irfanview or Photoscape (both are free.)

I guess it depends on who you're buying it from? Some places charge shipping, some don't.

[@jocelynchen2485]

hi, just got the camera today. does the image out of the film edge when you print? The image I took was within the lens yellow retangle, how when i print the left side image has been cut off a bit. tried many time, please help. thanks

When I had that camera, I didn't have cutoff problems. It might be defective maybe.

[@Jeremy15500]

hello, is it possible to take a photo WITHOUT using the print option? so that save it on the SD card (and avoid the noise?) thanks super video!

[@FirstL00k]

Thanks! The printer seems to always want to print, so you should remove the printing paper if you only want to save on the SD card. It's a hassle, but seems to be the only solution.

[@jen6294]

Jeremy15500 a cell phone

[@vwatts8738]

As a mobile rotary I occasionally need to take photos of ID cards. I don’t like doing them on my phone and this will allow me to take a picture without the SD card to let the client know I am not saving their information. I only just need a copy of their ID at the clients request.

[@FirstL00k]

That's a great use-case; a physical photo taken with this camera (without an sd card) can't be indiscriminately copied and spread around.

[@nelzjurne2998]

Great job!

[@FirstL00k]

thanks!

[@cakelady8534]

Hi great vid👍 do you recommend this for beginners? I’ve never bought a camera before but I have used my moms. Also is this semi cheap or should look for other printing cameras?

[@FirstL00k]

It's basically good fun to use, but that's about it. If you want to do anything more serious with high quality, better just to use an advanced smartphone camera or buy a point and shoot or DSLR. But for most people, those pictures end up getting buried somewhere with nobody to share them with. Let's see... there are several printing cameras similar in price by Poloroid and Fuji.

[@cakelady8534]

FirstL00k ok thank you 😊

[@jesterjess]

does anybody have this issue? My camera does not print out anything despite having printing paper. ALSO my camera either shuts off right after I push the shutter button (even though the camera is fully charged) or it’s about to print but nothing comes out. And sometimes all 3 lights blink red so I fix the film and restart the camera YET nothing prints…

[@persephie6107]

But my pictures come out blurry ☹️ and the colors are all faded.

[@Peppermint1]

It's a camera for kids between 6-12y old. Picture size and quality is just not there, even for an instant camera. I've compared the pictures with my old polaroids and there's no comparison possible: old polaroids were already very limited in size and quality, but the pics from Printomatic are like toy camera pictures when put side by side with polaroid ones.

[@adamviggg3233]

I like it 💞

[@celiajoannejasso7054]

thanks!

[@vossa7233]

Can we take a selfie with this ? Can you do a demo video

[@melynaloves]

Love this!!! Question, does it save the printed pics on the sd card.. and can you print from the SD card?

[@FirstL00k]

For your first question, when you take a picture, it both prints and saves on the SD card at the same time. To your second question, unfortunately you can't print straight from the SD card.

[@Janet-nq4kx]

Can you still print pictures if the SD card is filled with pictures from other devices like a phone or computer?

[@FirstL00k]

Good question! It's a very simple model, it's not able to print pictures from other devices.

[@a-ron9884]

How many pictures to print can you do, before having to install another pack (with the blue cover sheet)?

[@BlueRul]

The camera came with a pack of 5 sheets, you need to buy separately the pack sheets, those are coming with 10 sheets in the box.

[@MattHelps]

good review.

[@FirstL00k]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@avip9880]

does it still works if you don't use a zink paper? just a normal sticky paper that you could cut?

[@FirstL00k]

It's not a printer like an inkjet so you can't just stick in any paper you want.

[@marciacristina-ciencias]

Que incrível! 🤩

[@davelaw2176]

How does this camera compare to the kodak minishot or the Fujifilm Instax mini 11?

[@FirstL00k]

I think the print quality of the Fuji might be better. My friend had one, and in my eyes, the print they made looked like better quality (but I didn't have the Kodak with me so I can't compare.)

[@josephjohn3560]

Is it true that you can use other brands paper as long as they are Zink 2x3”?

[@FirstL00k]

We don't know the answer to that, but it's a good question. From a business perspective, they probably make a lot more money from selling paper than the actual camera, so I have a feeling they won't want to say anything.

[@christinaaf]

Seriously this video was so helpful thumbs up and a subscribe from me :)

[@FirstL00k]

Thanks for the kind words. It's much appreciated!

[@sandrafigg821]

thank you so much for mentioning the 32gb card is what the max is. I actually have a booklet in dif languages that came with mine, and they completely pass over the card slot, as if it weren't there. No searches online produced the info of what is the max size card. After watching your video, I ordered the card to go with my camera, but then started hearing about different cards have different speeds and they may not work with some devices. I was worried but no need, I had bought the scandisk 32gb ULTRA and it works fine.

[@FirstL00k]

You're welcome, I'm glad the info was helpful. You probably just saved yourself a lot of time, money and aggravation thinking about this beforehand. No wasted return shipping and restocking fees at least. :-)

[@chelseavo7014]

Can you use the kodak zink photo paper on a instax mini 9

[@FirstL00k]

Not sure, but the kind of paper/technology might be different.

[@raviprasadeppali8592]

How much mega pixel it is ?

[@ggggkk113]

🌟🌟Wow🌟🌟very nice 🌟🌟👌👌👌👌

[@bosswardolazinec9191]

Automatic printing when you take a single picture? Or there's a button you should press to print? And how about if you just like to store and capture photos, just insert memory card and remove the photo paper?

[@FirstL00k]

yes to both questions - automatic print once you press the button, and if you just want to save a pic on the sd card, you should remove the paper.

[@denisse8700]

How do you know what photo is going to print when you place in the SD card?

[@FirstL00k]

It doesn't print photos already in the SD card. When you take a picture with this camera, it will save a copy (in the memory card if you have one in there) and print it.

[@nxcz]

If there’s paper in the camera, but i wanted it to go onto the SD card. How do I only make it go onto the SD card?

[@FirstL00k]

If there's paper in the camera, it will make a print. The only way (I think) is to take out the paper.

[@starrcos]

thank you!! i go to a camp every year where devices are not allowed, so insta print cameras are something i’ve been looking into for like 2 years😭

[@FirstL00k]

I was just thinking, some camps are nature only, no technology of any kind. It could be a good idea to contact them & ask so you don't end up getting it confiscated. Just a thought.

[@starrcos]

@@FirstL00k yes i asked them about it and they said it was ok, since there’s not really much else you can do with it besides taking photos (obv) and i just ordered it!! thank you for this review lol

@@starrcos great! I hope you capture many good memories with it! :)

[@RaelynnSweet]

So you don’t have to reload the blue paper for each picture?

[@FirstL00k]

No, don't worry about that. It only happens when you insert a new pack of paper (presumably for calibration.)

[@ultimatekicks1654]

So what I’m hearing is you do not need to go out and buy a separate micro sd card?

[@katelyntran7390]

UltimateKicks correct :)

[@sandrafigg821]

I got the card because I can use it to share pics to any groups I'm on. I can also open it in my computers photo editing and maybe pop the contrast a little. You can NOT go back and reprint though, so it's just a matter of being able to share the pics, and have a dig copy if you give one away. I bought mine for journaling, not as my main camera.

[@alyxeinroxas5474]

So you can take pictures and it will be save in SD card right?

[@FirstL00k]

Yes. It prints and saves if you have a microSD card inserted.

[@FirstL00k]

[@art_and_about]

Can you print photos you've only saved in the SD card later?

[@FirstL00k]

Afraid not. Only prints what you shoot immediately. They now have small printers that do this, but isn't a camera. Kind of takes the fun out of it, if you ask me.

[@NanHoumSian]

Does the picture print automatically or do you have to press a button?

[@FirstL00k]

The print happens automatically right after you take the picture.

With an SD card inserted, it'll both print and save a copy on the card when you take a picture.
