Fujifilm's smartphone printer, the 'instax SHARE SP-2', is the easiest way to print photos right from a smartphone. Users can now print photos right from their phones in just 10 seconds.
The new printer allows users to edit photos with Instagram-like filters and then easily print them. The instax SHARE SP-2 is tiny and weighs just a pound, yet delivers high-quality photos and runs on a rechargeable battery.
Inspired by the original Polaroid instant print camera, the instax SHARE prints photos with a white border around the image. However, there is a modern twist, users can print a message to be placed on the border with the Instax Share app. The app has various border templates that users can apply before printing their photos. Users can also print photos from Instagram and Facebook.
