Saw this at the Apple store today. Lifeprint printerIt is a portable printer that prints 3x4.5" pictures. It is sticky paper. The samples they had looked pretty good. Just putting this out there in case someone is looking for a bigger option than the 2x3" prints of a Zip/Pogo/HP. I would say the machine is about the size of an Instax printer, but a little thinner. ETA - it looks like this larger version is only available through Apple. The smaller model (2x3) is available in other stores. |

This is the one that Heidi Swapp has. She's shown it in some Instagram Stories. It has that feature where you can hover over a picture you've printed within their app and the picture becomes a short video, like the Prynt device Studio Calico was raving about a few months ago. I think it's a cool idea but if the company folds, the app isn't available anymore and then you've lost that ability. Still, the larger size is nice even if you don't take the video capability into account. Also, it's much more sleek than the Prynt design. I bought a Zink Happy printer years ago and it is super bulky and I regret it now because I wish I had one of the newer, slimmer ones. Oh well!

I don't follow Heidi Swapp so i didn't know she uses this. I'll go check out her IG and see if she has any pictures posted. I do like how you can print out a frame from a video! I do that now by taking a snapshot of a video, but it is hit and miss as to whether or not you get the correct frame and it is not always clear. I think that even if the company folded, the app will still work, that is until Apple upgrades their iOS and the app is no longer compatible.   |

I have the Lifeprint (gift from my husband last year). I really like it, it does exactly what it says, is fast and very very easy to use. The sticky back is fun and functional. The print quality is as good as you could expect from a Zink printer, and better than I expected.

I am trying to figure out if I *need* to print 3x4.5” photos. Lol!
