I’m looking into getting an instant camera. I was drawn to the Fujifilm Instax cameras but it looks like the instant film for it can come out to $2 a photo which is pretty expensive imo.

I want this to take small color photos for journaling/scrapbooking/logging and may need to take a lot of photos at once (i.e. logging results of glazes on a ton of test tiles).

Also I don’t really care if it’s true analog or a digital camera that just prints out, but it does need to be color.

Anyone have any good reccs?

    Buy thermal print camera on Temu. Printing for free. It’s crap, but results look cool sometimes.

        Not that I know, but you can buy a thermal camera (or just a BT enabled thermal printer that will work with your phone for cheap (20$ or less, and rolls of thermal papers can be found for cheap too almost anywhere. So it wouldn’t cost much to give it a try.

        Some kids are even sold with… markers to color the (crappy) B&W prints; not kidding. It’s kinda cool and children/teens love it as well as silly adults like me ;) It’s real cool to be able to share an instant print that cost peanuts, even if it’s a crappy one

        No, but it is surprisingly fun to do. Got one from Temu, they were trying to push me to finish my order, it costed something like $11. Same with the bluetooth printer with same printing system last year.

          ah darn. For my purpose I need color unfortunately. Otherwise a thermal printer type thing would be perfect.
