I use the instax wide to create a diary of the year I glue in a book. Take it it to our family Christmas gathering and everyone just loves looking back the past year.

It’s funny how photography is a medium that is so conducive to sharing with others but we primarily share photos through social media these days. As great as it is, it’s hard to appreciate photography on such a small screen. I recently started printing more of my photos this last fall and I’ve had so much fun seeing them in a new light. It’s also such a beautiful way to gift shared memories with others.

Some of my favorite (and family, friends, etc) photos are the ones I've printed using Instax printers. I see them stuck on fridges, in car visors, pinned to cork boards, taped to mirrors and walls, etc. It makes my heart happy.

I love you just DUMPING on the other photographers bashing on "Instagram photographers." I'm in a local photography group in my city and there's a bunch of older guys who have been doing phtoography their whole life who ALWAYS shit on people and question everyone because they think they're better or have more experience. Yet when I see their images they just shoot in a studio, with studio lighting, and it looks the same as my highschool year book photos. THAT's a whole new type of photographer that I see a lot and they're annoying. Anyways.. great video and I love the zine idea!!!

I subscribe because you keep it real. I watch all your videos and want to say thank you for not gate keeping and actually empowering your viewers to be more creative.

[ATruths]

This video came right on time for me. After printing several film photos that motivated me to want to print my other digital work. There’s nothing like holding your own photo. Just ordered the Canon Selphy 1500 printer. As always, appreciate your videos and for always keeping it real.

Something my therapist said to me the other day struck a chord and got me back into photography and the want to print my photos. It was that we used to have boxes and boxes of photos, good and bad. These days they are on everyones phones where few will look at them. Made sense to me anyway

[christopherrodriguez]

That Selphy printer is amazing, it’s been super helpful in sharing/giving photos to friends and family. Happy New Year Dee.

I have a Fuji Instax EVO mini, which is the hybrid model camera/printer. I can send photos from my phone or tablet to the printer. I also have the Canon Selphy 1500. I totally agree with all your printing options. I looked into a dedicated 13x19 printer, but the cost of use versus the amount I print was not worth it.

I love how real you are. Glad I found your channel. You stayed true to yourself since I first subscribed. No bullshit, just facts. Have a great New Years!!!

You’ve become one of my favorite channels pretty quickly, while most photographers on YouTube suffer from unoriginal repetitive content for the sake of views, i find your videos refreshing and informative. Also I need that printer asap

[ruffprophetproductions]

i started clapping my hands when you were going in about print being the way we should appreciate photos around 12:00... you were talking that real talk !! I'm going to teach an adult photography course in the coming weeks and if you don't mind I would love to show your video to encourage discussion in my class!!

[jllt]

Word. You're definitely one of my favorite photography YT channel, maybe i'd purchase an instax print too ;), thank you and happy new year!

I agree, printed photos are just so much better and more fun than any photo on my computer where they are just buried and forgotten, or seen randomly on different digital display. Also it is the most awesome backup when I have photos on paper. If and when my hard disks and backups die, I still can see photos - and best of all, other people can see those as well when they are visiting and we sometimes look those. It is much more rare to watch digital photos together and it have no same kind of emotion.

I have A3 sized photos what I have taken on my walls and many of those are taken with 7.1 Mpx digital point-and-shoot camera and they look good. When people see the photo on paper, people probably more often just see the picture - not any kind of pixel peeping. When I see my photos on my wall, I don't think resolutions or any technical crap, but just the photo itself. Does it look good or how it makes me feel in general.

Good timing for this video to pop on my feed, it reminded me that I needed to print some test photos taken by my new (old and used) digital camera. I also have Canon Selphy CP1300, it is just awesome. It just feels great to print easily and get good quality results with 4x6 (or 10x15 cm) for putting to the wall. Same time I watched this I got prints and yeah, even those 1 Mpx "preview" versions of the photos just look good on paper (transferred wirelessly and app resized those to smaller). You don't need much megapixels to get great quality 4x6 photos :)

This is one of those videos you see just at the right time. Was talking to my girl about things I want us to start doing in 2024, printing our photos is def something we need to do. Great video, man. Happy new year.

[timchrisman]

This is a great video, ive been struggling with not feeling like my work is good enough but in going to try printing my stuff now!

[limestone_xyz]

I have got the selphy cp1500 and I really love it. Not sure if they changed something, but I can‘t vouch for the color accuracy. The prints come out around 0.5 - 1 stop darker and more saturated compared to a calibrated monitor. Just something to keep in mind.

[drbubble]

I’ve had a Selphy 1200 sitting in the garage unused and only recently pulled it out to sell. It’s small but still large, so home use only. The instax printer is great for handing prints out while out and about.

For my paid work, I have 2 DNP printers for onsite quick prints and 2 Prograph Pro-1000’s for framed and shipped wall art. Adding printers to my business increases my annual income 30%. More than covering the expense and hassle.

[lukasvanderlende]

I'm here for the printers (love the selphy printer) but I always stay for the rants. You're the man

[alexgoeke]

Honestly, so much valuable info. The realest cat on and off YouTube!

[Emma-ennb]

I’ve loved shooting and printing with my Instax Evo, but it prints photos in worse quality that weren’t taken with its own camera, so I’ve stopped using it much to print my mirrorless shots. I will have to look into the Selphy.
