I just got an SP-3 for my birthday, which JUST came out on the market in October or so. It prints old school Polaroid size, which is why I wanted it. Like the square kind.
But now that I’m thinking about it, this size won’t fit into project life page protectors because they’re a 3.4” wide. But the older Instax printer models have those rectangular prints which do fit.
Would you keep the one I have? Or do you think the smaller format prints are more useful?
General thoughts and brainstorming welcome.

I have the HP Sprocket same size as the Instax sp 1 and 2. I love it. And I can trim it down if I wanted it to be a 2x2. Something you can't do with an Instax. I'm using it for my December Daily and it's been perfect.

I am so glad you posted this pancakes. When the SP-3 came out I started seriously looking at the Instax printers after coveting an Instax camera for years. Given that my phone takes pretty great photos, I'm now leaning towards one of the printers for both the instant gratification and the fact that I can get something different than what I can get from my photo developer. But, for the life of me I cannot decide between the two sizes. I really want to commit to PL in 2018 so the small size is appealing for that, but the image size seems super tiny. I also scrapbook 12x12 and think the larger prints would be great for full size pages. I suppose that the larger prints would fit in the 4x6 pockets and give some room for journaling/embellishing. Is it terrible that I want both sizes? |

Is it terrible that I want both sizes? Haha i’m glad you know where my head is at! I also scrap larger (9x12) and maybe fitting them into 4x6 pockets wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I’m just so drawn to the nostalgia of a true Polaroid size as well. Also, the cost of the square film is significantly more expensive, unfortunately. But no, you aren’t crazy for wanting both ha |

I can see how the size would be a downside unless you were using the page protector designs for 4x4" squares or the 4x6" pockets.
But I really like the square shape, and since most of my photos are Instagram squares I would find the narrow Instax print awkward.
