ZINK instant camera. 51×76mm (2×3 inch) zero-ink thermal prints, Bluetooth app with photo editing and AR effects before printing, 2-inch selfie mirror, ~¥35–¥45/print. Explicit weakness: smallest prints in this comparison (smaller than Instax Mini), ZINK colors less saturated than silver halide film, cold environments cause uneven color, expensive relative to Kodak Mini Shot for smaller prints.
Canon IVY CLIQ+2 — ZINK zero-ink thermal paper, 51×76mm (2×3 inch) prints, Bluetooth app with editing and AR effects, 2-inch selfie mirror, premium price. 51×76mm prints are the smallest in this comparison — even smaller than Instax Mini at 62×46mm image area; ZINK paper colors can appear less saturated and less 'photographic' than silver halide film; the in-camera shoot quality is lower than using the smartphone camera; ZINK thermal process produces uneven color in cold environments; the price is premium relative to the Kodak Mini Shot, which produces larger prints with lower per-print running costs.
Canon IVY CLIQ+2 uses ZINK zero-ink thermal paper for 51×76mm prints and integrates tightly with its Bluetooth app for editing and AR effects before printing. The 2-inch selfie mirror is the largest in this comparison. The concrete limitation is print size: 51×76mm is the smallest in this comparison — smaller than even Instax Mini's 62×46mm image area — and ZINK colors are less saturated than silver halide film.
Pros
- Largest selfie mirror in this comparison — 2 inches
- Bluetooth app enables editing and AR effects before printing
- ZINK zero-ink — no cartridges or film packs needed
Cons
- 51×76mm prints smallest in comparison (smaller than Instax Mini); ZINK colors less saturated; priced at a premium over Kodak for smaller output
