FUJIFILM North America Corp., Imaging Division, announced the launch of its FUJIFILM INSTAX SQUARE LINK Smartphone Printer (Square Link). The latest addition to the popular Link series of smartphone printers, Square Link creates INSTAX SQUARE format instant prints at 1.5 times the size of its INSTAX MINI counterparts. Fujifilm Square Link will be offered in Ash White and Midnight Green and is expected to be available for purchase on or about Nov. 16, 2022, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $139.95 USD and $179.99 CAD.
Square Link features a variety of features designed to encourage creativity, including AR (Augmented Reality) Print and INSTAX CONNECT, both of which allow users to individualize and share their images in new, creative ways. Square Link includes a variety of frame templates, decorative digital stickers, and print mode options that allow the image maker to boost creativity with the free, downloadable INSTAX SQUARE LINK App.
“As the leader in the instant photography and Smartphone printing space, we are excited about the introduction of Square Link. It combines everything our users love about our INSTAX MINI LINK and INSTAX LINK WIDE products, with the popular INSTAX SQUARE image format,” said Bing Liem, president, Imaging Division, FUJIFILM North America Corp. “Plus, with the growing global interest in Augmented Reality and other expanding technologies, the new App features of Square Link like AR Print and INSTAX CONNECT present even more options for users to connect, customize, and share images.”
Key features of Square Link available through the INSTAX SQUARE LINK App include:
AR (Augmented Reality) Print: Square Link can add Augmented Reality features to images the user can view on their smartphone, including special effects, text, images, background colors, doodles, and animations. A QR code printed on the INSTAX photo unlocks the AR content.
INSTAX Connect: Using the Square Link App, the INSTAX Connect feature allows users to share INSTAX images digitally by selecting a smartphone image, adding text content and/or effects, and sending it to any connected device. Users can add text to their images and get text responses sent back directly on the image.
Customize your INSTAX prints
Like all products in the INSTAX LINK Smartphone printer lineup, Square Link includes a variety of frame templates, digital stickers, and print mode options that allow the image maker to creatively enhance the smartphone image.
