FUJIFILM instax mini Evo Cinema Review

The FUJIFILM instax mini Evo Cinema has been one of the most questioned about devices I have had to date and quite the talking point at home and when out and about especially when testing it out along with the instax mini Link+ smartphone printer.

This camera also comes with an on board printer and an app which transfers data from the camera to your phone and you can edit shots in there and see all your videos an photos you have taken.

This is a one handed device looks cool and full of switches and dials and the main feautre is the dial that allows you to turn back time giving your videos that retro look we have some samples below so you can see what this is all about. You can pick between the 1920s up to the 2020s on the dial and see the differences with them.

On the side there is the on/off button still and cine and framing button along with the zoom and print options. You can also adjust the lens for more effects and there is a clip on eye piece there. All of this might sound cumbersome but it is not and still looks super cool and again you can print on the go which is neat. On the back is an LCD monitors a naviwheel for adjusting settings and several other buttons one being a back button play button and menu button.

On the front is your adjustable lens your mirror for selfies for photos and videos your flash and the capture button for videos and photos, the clips can be up to 15 seconds for videos only.

After you go through the settings let the nostalgia begin with videos and photos you can replay or look and images and videos on the camera itself or have them auto transfer to your smartphone and do some more like editing and so on, we have some clips to shows you with different years and editing below..

Overall this is a niche camera but fun and looks great, there was some lag during testing and battery life not great but enough for what most will use it for and with USB-C charging it will charge faster than previous cameras and it is a joy to use looks great and a great conversation starter and not forgetting you do not need a separate printer as there is on built in which makes this shine even more.

 

Mini Evo App

 

Main Features: 

Eras Dial™

The mini Evo Cinema hybrid instant camera features a first for instax™ cameras – the Eras Dial™, which allows users to apply photo effects from 10 different eras to their image – from the grainy, pale tones of the 1930s, to a 1960s effect inspired by 8mm film cameras, to the vibrant colors of the 1980s, and to the sharp, rich imagery of the 2020s. Each era is designed to capture the look and feel of the imagery of that time.

Degree Control Dial

Content created in each era can be fine-tuned with any of the 10 effects from the Degree Control Dial on the lens. By simply rotating the dial to precisely adjust color, contrast, and noise expression – users can create up to 10 creative variations per era.

Frame Switch

Once an era is chosen and the intensity of the era is selected via the Degree Control Dial, users can continue to personalize by adding a frame to every shot or video clip utilizing the Frame Switch. There’s a frame for every era, each paying homage to the characteristics, media, and playback devices that defined that time.

CINE/STILL Modes

Users can easily switch between “CINE” and ”STILL” modes to capture either a video or photo, respectively, with ease. In CINE mode, users can shoot a series of clips – up to 15 seconds in total – and the camera will stitch them into one smooth video automatically. Via the free, downloadable instax mini EvoTM smartphone app, users can connect via Bluetooth® and extend video creations to 30 seconds by adding or reordering clips.

Zoom Lever

The mini Evo Cinema features built-in digital zoom. The tactile Zoom Lever lets you dial up the intimacy of the shot or pull back for greater scope and more atmosphere.

“My Gallery”

Within the instax mini Evo™ app, the My Gallery section provides users a secure place to store the images and videos they create, segmented into categories including Favorites, Printed, Video, Photo, Projects. Through this function, users can also save printed images digitally to their smartphone’s camera roll, finished with the iconic instaxTM mini border.

Video Printing

Users can access videos via a one-of-a-kind instax™ mini instant photo printed with a QR code ready to be scanned and played back on a smartphone. Video is captured as standard at 600 x 800, and with the 2020 Era selection is captured at 1080 x 1440.

Timeless Design

With sleek black, vertical grip design (inspired by Fujifilm’s “FUJICA Single-8”, an 8mm camera introduced in 1965); and analog-inspired details, this hybrid instant camera is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate tactile functions alongside beauty and elegance.

Additional camera features include:

 

  • Remote shooting capability (via app)
  • Integrated Selfie Mirror and Self-Timer
  • 1.54-inch high-resolution LCD Monitor
  • Print Lever
  • The camera features an analog-style printing operation lever – lift and twist to print a photo.
  • Accessories
      • The mini Evo Cinema includes viewfinder and grip attachments, and a premium hand strap.
  • USB-C & Micro SD Card Slots

FUJIFILM instax mini link+ smartphone printer review

The FUJIFILM instax mini link+ smartphone printer is their latest new offering and comes with a total new design which is nice to see and I like it.

The new design is catchy looking like their new mini Evo cinema which will be up here on site soon and quite a chang from their previous printer we reviewed and it had people asking questions here and when out and about with it.

A new app has also been developed for the new printer which has an array of features which we go through in the video review below and is simple to use.

This is for the creative type like all their previous printer with an array of modes to pick from such as simple print design print simulation print and multiple print modes also frame and video print feautres.

There is also remote printing and a cool feature that allows you to tilt the printer to zoom in and out which I really like.

Picture quality seems to be better this time around which I am liking an you can enjoy better photos this time around but mostly daytime photos or good lighting but with all the features in the app you can enhance any picture.

You can also use 3D augmented reality and take images before printing which is nice but not for me I am just point shoot and print as with any photo I would take on my phone.

Overall the new app and features are executed well here and with the new robust printer with a cool design will be a welcome addition for all fans.

HP OfficeJetPro 9135e Printer review

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is positioned as the flagship of HP’s latest OfficeJet lineup, designed specifically for heavy-duty home offices and small businesses. It replaces the popular 9025e, bringing subtle but meaningful refinements in speed, security, and paper handling.

If you are looking for a “laser alternative” that can handle high-volume document workflows without the bulk of a toner-based machine, this is one of the strongest contenders on the market and comes with a very nice external touchscreen display and also you can print direct from your mobile phone or laptop via the HP Print app which works really well.

Key Specifications

Feature Performance
Print Speed Up to 25 ppm (Black) / 20 ppm (Color)
Paper Capacity 500 sheets (Dual 250-sheet trays)
Scanner Single-pass, 2-sided (duplex) ADF (35 sheets)
Monthly Volume Recommended up to 2,000 pages
Connectivity Dual-band self-healing Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth

This is a Productivity Workhorse, The standout feature is the dual 250-sheet paper trays. This allows you to keep a full ream of paper loaded at all times, or use one tray for standard A4/Letter and the other for specialized media like envelopes or letterheads.

With Efficient Scanning the single-pass duplex ADF is a lifesaver for office environments. It scans both sides of a page simultaneously, which is significantly faster and more reliable than “reversing” ADFs that physically flip the paper.

Modern Interface & Security, The 4.3-inch color touchscreen is responsive and intuitive. It also features HP Wolf Pro Security, which provides hardware-level protection against cyber threats—a rare but welcome addition for home office hardware. You can see more in the video review below.

The printer can be noisey like others when printing a large run of sheets again you can get a sample in the video below but in fairness most printers suffer this.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a refined, reliable evolution of the 9000 series. It is best suited for users who value paper capacity and scanning speed above all else. This is Ideal for poeple that  frequently scan double-sided documents and need to print 500+ pages a month without constantly refilling the paper tray.

Key Features

Duplex printing

Allows you to print on both sides of the page, cutting your paper use by up to 50%.

Scan size ADF (maximum)

Allows multiple pages to be copied or scanned at one time

Borderless

Borderless photos are printed right to the edge of the paper. You get beautiful photo prints with no trimming!

Digital sending standard features

Save time by sending scanned documents or photos directly from your printer to email recipients.

Wireless capability

HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point.

Connectivity standard

Add this device to your office Ethernet network to share with your workgroup.

Why Your Startup Needs a Commercial Office Printer

Building a startup keeps you on your toes. One moment, you’re closing a deal; the next, you’re preparing documents for a pitch or printing out marketing materials for an event. While most of your tools may be digital, there are still times when you need something printed—and fast. A commercial office printer brings speed, consistency, and polish to your growing business needs.

In this article, you’ll learn why many startups need commercial office printers. Read on for the details!

Creates a Strong First Impression

In the world of startups, presentations can make or break a deal. When you hand out high-quality documents that are crisp, clear, and well-formatted, it speaks volumes about your attention to detail. Whether you’re printing contracts, proposals, or marketing materials, having a dedicated business printer in your office helps ensure your documents look professional every time.

Many commercial office printers today are designed to deliver high-quality documents quickly and reliably. This attention to output makes them ideal for producing polished color prints, clean layouts, and sharp text. All of this contributes to building credibility and establishing your business as one that takes pride in its work.

Improves Office Productivity

Startups run on tight schedules, so your printing setup should match that pace. Every day brings tasks like preparing reports, creating handouts, or printing pitch decks. That’s why a commercial printer with faster printing speeds becomes a wise choice. It keeps your team moving and avoids the slowdowns that come with outdated or overworked machines.

As your workload grows, you’ll need a system that handles more without falling behind. Many workgroup printers are made for busy offices, taking on multiple jobs at once without delays.

These devices often feature automatic duplex printing and offer a high monthly duty cycle, so they stay productive even when demands increase. That kind of reliability means less waiting and more time spent on work, which moves your business forward.

Saves Money in the Long Run

At first glance, it might seem cheaper to stick with a home printer or rely on outside services. However, costs start piling up once you factor in the price of consumables and repeated service charges. Frequent ink replacements and last-minute print jobs quickly eat into your budget.

That’s where investing in a medium- or high-volume printer makes more sense. These machines are built for efficiency, as they use ink or toner more wisely and need less maintenance.

You’ll also get better control over printing requirements with the right commercial printer. You can track usage, manage supply levels, and reduce unnecessary waste. This predictability helps lower the cost of ownership and keeps your printing budget in check as your startup grows.

Simplifies Document Management

Running a business means dealing with different types of documents daily. Some are for internal use, while others are meant for clients, partners, or legal records. From simple black-and-white documents to colorful charts and presentations, your office printer should be able to manage different needs without trouble.

That’s where a modern business printer makes things easier. Many models include features that support smooth document management, like the ability to scan directly to email or upload to cloud storage. You can save frequently used print jobs and switch between different paper sizes without extra effort.

Streamlines Team Workflow

As your startup team expands, your office equipment needs to keep up with the added pressure. That’s where a multifunction printer proves valuable. It lets your staff handle scanning, copying, and printing all from one place, helping reduce clutter and confusion.

Many models come with helpful tools like an automatic document feeder, wireless connectivity, and mobile printing support to keep things moving smoothly. These features let team members print from their desks or even use mobile devices while on the move, making everyday tasks easier and faster.

In addition, built-in tools such as user authentication and advanced security features help protect sensitive documents and limit access to certain functions. This boosts team efficiency and ensures your document handling stays safe and well-organized.

Supports Your Marketing Needs

Digital tools have their place, but printed materials still carry much weight in marketing. Handing out flyers, brochures, or other promotional materials at events leaves a stronger impression than a screen ever could. Mailing these items to clients adds a personal touch that helps your brand stand out.

With a commercial printer, creating these materials becomes faster and more convenient. You can make last-minute edits, print immediately, and avoid outsourcing delays. This level of control keeps your marketing flexible and responsive.

Scales Easily With Business Growth

Growth brings new demands, and your equipment should rise to the challenge. As your startup gets busier, the need for a business-class printer that handles rising print volume becomes more crucial. You’ll want something that keeps its speed and quality no matter how much work you send.

To meet those demands, many printers offer useful expansion options. You can add extra trays for different paper input sources or include finishing features that help streamline more advanced tasks. These upgrades let your setup evolve without switching to an entirely new device.

Your team stays productive during transitions with a printer that grows with you. Whether you’re hiring more team members or settling into a larger office, a scalable printer continues to support your daily tasks and long-term business goals without missing a beat.

Conclusion

Your startup’s success depends on moving fast and making wise choices. A commercial office printer might seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how your business runs day-to-day. From creating professional documents to handling high-volume tasks with ease, the right printer helps your team stay focused and productive. You’ll save time, cut unnecessary costs, and gain the flexibility to manage everything from client presentations to internal workflows.

instax mini Link 3 smartphone printer review

The FUJIFILM instax mini Link 3 smartphone printer has been part of my daily carry some time now and it is the latest addition to their portfolio of products and in fact a great fun piece of tech to bring on holiday, to the pub or to the beach or anywhere for that matter as it is portable and not huge by any stretch and will fit in most bags.

Coming in several colours Sage Green, Clay White, and Rose Pin there is something for everyone to pick from here and like before has a solid sturdy build and is  not heavy, it also ha s a grippy texture to it which makes it easy to hold, there is a USB-C charging port on the side a film tray on the rear and of course a slot up top to eject the photos when printing right there and then.

There is a power key on the left side paired up with the function button, you can reprint photos by pressing the and holding the power button for 1 second but can order up to ten prints per shot as there is only ten in a pack but it will ask to refill if you have more. There is also some nice light effects up front on the device.

Picture quality has improved I think this time around as you will see in the video review with samples vs on device photos and with the options to edit in the app is great, there is also a AR app you can have fun with if that is your thing, it could be seen as a gimmick for some however for others not you will understand more when you play with it and see the premise behind it as it has been used before in shopping scenarios and sizing for example. Your photo will take around 3 minutes to complete which is fun to watch especially for those who never seen such or held a photo in their life with how things are today.

The battery is decent and will easily see you through 80 prints not that you would be shooting off that many prints in one sitting however this still means you can charge it up and if taking out and about there is plenty of charge on board and also they have ditched the micro USB for USB-C this time thankfully.

Overall again a cool product to have and get creative with some upgrades and useful apps to use, the cost of the film though again is a small caveat however this is something one can overcome by holding an actual photo after printing it there and then and can make a nice photo wall or frame from the results.
