Wish you could have physical, retro-inspired prints of some of your favourite memories stored on your phone? This Instax printer lets you do that and more – and it’s currently £45 off.

Capturing the moment on an Instax camera is special, but when you don’t snap it in time or forget your camera altogether, it’s nice to have another way of creating retro-looking photos that’ll last a lifetime.

Enter: the Fujifilm Instax Link Wide Mobile Photo Printer.

Creating the largest print size in the Instax arsenal so the whole team fits in the frame, this compact and, quite frankly super clever printer allows you to create beautifully framed wide prints from your phone, connecting via Bluetooth in seconds.

That means whether the image was taken a year ago, a day ago or a minute ago, you can print it on Instax film and enjoy holding the memory in your hand for life.

But before you think this handy piece of kit is a one trick pony, it’s actually full of features to help you present your memories in the best way possible.

Powered by an exclusive app, you’ll have access to over 30 editable templates for your photos, various creative printing modes, 1600 stickers and plenty of filters to make your photos truly perfect. You can even write and draw on your pictures for that final creative flourish.

Not only that, but you can also add a QR code and transform each snap into special secret moments, allowing you to attach a link, sound bite, location, hidden message and so much more.

Printing out multiple photos is as easy as a touch of a button, too, so everybody can take home a copy of their favourite snap.

All you have to do is download the app, upload your photos and get to personalising. Add text, resize, apply a filter, play with the contrast – the options are endless. Then, simply connect to the Instax Link wirelessly via Bluetooth before swiping up to print.

Simple.

Shoppers have been loving the on-sale Instax printer, too, calling it ‘absolutely brilliant’ and raving of its excellent photo size and quality.

‘Reasonably priced, lightweight and fits in handbag.’ Wrote one five-star reviewer. ‘You can take it out with you and if friends connect their phone to it you can all print your photos! After checking to make sure, everyone looks good in the photo.’

Another wrote: ‘I’ve had one of the Instax Mini printers for years and found it great fun, but always hoped Instax would make one for the much larger Wide film.

This is no disappointment. Picture quality is stunning, yet the printer is compact and truly portable. Great to be able to print on the spot and share prints after meeting friends. Now you can include captions in the photo and all sorts of fun stuff as well.’

This might just transform special memories for us, and for £45 less? It’d be rude not to.
