Photos don’t just capture important moments, they also tell a story and
with the KiiPix ($49.00) you can instantly print your favorite
pictures directly from your cell phone. I don’t consider myself very “tech
savvy” but this device is easy to use. There are no batteries, cords or special
apps and you don’t even need Wifi. Simply load the film (it takes just a few
seconds), pop open the panels, set the frame, align the shot and press the
shutter.
I played around with the printer and discovered that the
photos turn out much better when my screen is clean and the brightness is
turned all the way up. Make sure to adjust your screensaver settings so it
doesn’t time-out and go dark.
The frame that your phone rests on tends to slide around so be careful when manually cranking out the pic. Just like a
regular Polaroid, the film will be blank for a few seconds before the photo
begins to appear. Initially there were white streaks on all of my shots but they fade gradually and completely disappear by the next day.
The printer only works with FUJUFILM Instax mini film ($13.99
for 10 pics) and the photos have a retro-stylized effect that gives them a faded
vintage look. The filter is nice but I prefer sharper images with vibrant
color and the option to buy more than 10 prints per roll (they tend to go
fast).
The KiiPix makes an awesome gift for gadget lovers and you
can take it anywhere! Use it to decorate any room in the house, personalize
gifts or create a mini photo booth for weddings, showers and birthdays. It comes
in handy for capturing your baby’s milestones or a fun night out with the
girls. I use mine to print vacation photos for my office and makeup pics for my
vanity. The small prints are also perfect for marking special events
in my day planner.
KiiPix is available at
Toys R Us
