Polaroid Zip Wireless Mobile Photo Mini Printer (Black) Compatible w/iOS & Android, NFC & Bluetooth Devices

Bought a couple of these as presents for Christmas, after months of hearing the recipients complain and finding these printers stuffed in a drawer I decided to take matters into my hands. Well never let it be said I cannot admit when I am wrong... My wife and son were right these printers are just a hot mess, starting with the application, goodness its slow, it cannot sense the printer more often than not I stuck trying to print but not being able to without a bunch of fussing with it. Now the printing color is terrible as others have pointed out and the quality goes bad quickly... Really disappointed in Polaroid, I used them for years and trusted them as they moved forward into this brave new world, my mistake.

To say I am so disappointed by this printer is a total understatement. I bought it to use for a Photo Guest book for my wedding and now I need to come up with a Plan B because this is complete garbage. 1st - You can only print the photos from within the Polaroid App. I cant imagine its any different for Android but for iOS is is a hot pile of garbage. The app is not intuitive, clunky, distorts the image and THEN takes forever to send to the printer (sometimes not at all). There is no timer in the app which is complete product miss, timer remotes do not work inside the app. I tried to create a workaround so my guests could use the iPhone camera + timer then open the photo in Polaroid app and send to printer, but that didnt work. After purchasing this (and about 200 sheets of photo paper for it) I am completely frustrated and am out money on shipping back the photo sheets. And if you plan to contact polaroid for assistance, dont bother. They are unresponsive. I suggest you do lots of homework and go with another instant printer solution because this is not worth the money, time or aggravation.

We trust polaroid to deliver instant photos but this is not that. This is a minute or even two between photos when working. Most the time it is jammed or overheated we only got about 10 pictures through this thing in about an hours time not good when you are trying to deliver photo booth pictures. And the quality you expect it to be okay throughout we found that each print went down in quality until we have up near the end with very blue pictures. I would not recommend this product

This printer does not work like advertised. I can’t beilve the reviews. EVERY picture has a pink haze where there should be white. Tried different phones and different pictures. Nothing changed. Tech support said try to lighten the picture before you print. Yeh that just made the picture more pink. It will not take clear crisp pictures so in return you get tiny pics with lots of pink backgrounds. Another Christmas present down the tubes. Disappointed to say the least.

Absolutely terrible product. It worked fine for a few weeks, and then suddenly it started having problems grabbing the paper. It will say "printing" and make a printing noise, but nothing comes out. Eventually it does, but not until after several failed attempts: I once tried printing five pictures, it took me two hours before I had four in my hand and gave up on the last one. I know several people with this printer and over half of them have similar issues, so this is not uncommon. Recently the app was updated as well. Ever since, trying to print takes forever in itself. It frequently gets stuck at the "sending to printer" stage, or it will take five minutes to get past that stage, at which point I cross my fingers hoping itll grab the paper, only to be let down. Rinse, repeat. Issues aside, even when it works the way it should, its a pretty mediocre printer. Photo quality is grainy and the colors are way off, especially skin colors which turn either grey or orange. The app is clunky and not user friendly at all, randomly deciding to stretch or turn images slightly sideways. Id be able to live with those issues if everything else worked fine, but sadly, nothing works at all. This machine works better as an overpriced paperweight, which says a lot because its lightness makes it a terrible choice even for that.

I’m giving this one star because it did turn on and properly pair with my iPhone. That’s where the success stops. It took many tries to get it to eject the blue calibration paper and several more tries to get it to even attempt to print a photo and when it did it jammed. I could barely get the jammed paper out and subsequent tries wouldn’t print at all, blank paper. I’m a fairly technical person and insured proper placement of paper and following the Quickstart instructions to a T.
