comparing mini photo printers ✸
Added 2024-03-07 12:57:57 +0000 UTChi everyone, I hope you're all doing ok. early again this week, but here we go! a comparison of some of the more popular mini photo printers. the community tab on youtube voted very much in favour for the long video, and i hope you enjoy it 🙇🏻♀️ it's a very organic real-time look at setting the printers up, connecting them, printing photos and comparing how they look. the captions are still pending, but should be with you soon.
i'll write the more general weekly update post for you tomorrow/over the weekend- still chipping away at some illustration bits behind the scenes 🖍️📑
i hope the end of your week passes smoothly, and that the weekend treats you well.
take care and speak soon, friends x

For the sprocket, I’ve had one for years and use it only for things I don’t mind if there is a colour shift (mostly photos of my tarot cards). As for the warnings on the back of the packages, the cold sensitivity is only for printing. I’ve had my unopened packets go below zero Celsius without any permanent change. The heat limits on unused are a problem. Definitely don’t leave it laying out in the sun. Once printed, I haven’t had any problems with the images being in a warm environment. Not sure they’ve been exposed to plus 25 for any length of time though. Touching etc is again for preprinting. The case is also tough, I’ve thrown it into many bag or box carelessly and it’s always been fine.

2024-03-08 15:13:36 +0000 UTCThe artifacting could be that the printer doesn’t have enough tonal variation to print all the colours in the sky. I used to see this with the first inkjet colour printers. The photoshop filter “Gaussian Blur” would help and matching the dpi of the image to the printer. I wasn’t able to find the dpi info for that printer though
