Let’s start with the most obvious function: Taking a photo followed by printing it. The app is called Insta-Share Printer and, as you can imagine, it allows you to do many things. You must use the dedicated app in order to use this Moto Mod. What can you do with this printer and how do you use it? With the Mod, the device expands in thickness. There are no necessary tweaks to be made in order to use this device, it is already set up and ready to be used. Once the Mod is attached, a message appears on the screen to inform you that both devices are connected and, the first time, it will ask you to install the device’s official app. The initial configuration is extremely simple. For your information, it costs $10 for a pack of 20 photos (50 cents per photo) or $15 for a pack of 30 photos. By default, the printer uses ZINK Zero-Ink, a technology that already appeared on a previous Polaroid device: the Instant Snap Touch. You can, of course, open it to insert more paper when your reserve is empty, but you must be careful that you print in a 2 x 3-inch format. Underneath, the Mod expands the size of the device because of the paper reserve and the printing system which allows the photo to exit through the slot. The camera at the top of the smartphone is still visible through a hole in the Mod which was included for this purpose. To take it off, you have to lift up the notch, which is reassuring since that shows you can use it outside without worrying about it falling off. It snaps on and off very easily and, no matter how much you move around, it won’t unclip itself. Like all the Moto Mods, this Printer attaches to the back of your Moto smartphone in a specific area. Of course, Motorola hopes that nostalgia will serve it well in its sales, because the device is aimed at a very specific type of customer. ![]() Note that there’s a link available in the app to order more paper. Therefore, photos won’t be needlessly thrown in the trash and trees will be saved. Another huge advantage: you don’t have to print all the photos you take. You can choose to print only the photos that you think are worthy of printing. Of course, it’s quite different in practice as the Mod is much smaller, quieter and smarter. In theory, the basic concept remains the same since you take a photo (this time with a smartphone) and use the printer to print it. However, now, it is making a comeback in a different form: a Moto Mod. These devices allowed you to print a photo immediately after taking it, but developments in the photography world and the arrival of camera phones (and the digital age, generally) caused the Polaroid to fall into disuse. Our younger readers perhaps have never seen a Polaroid. Polaroid makes a comeback with a version 2.0 For everyone else, there are portable printers like the HP Sprocket that works with both Android and iOS devices and costs Rs 8,999 on Amazon India.We don’t know if we should be talking about Lenovo or Motorola because the line between the parent company and its subsidiary is a bit blurred, but, nevertheless, the popular brand has announced a Moto Mod dedicated to photo printing: the Insta-Share Printer. The newest Moto Mod, is of course specific to the Moto Z series, and therefore makes it a niche product but there is no denying that Motorola has introduced a fun, nostalgia-filled mod that should attract Moto Z users. The Hasselblad True Zoom Camera, for example, costs around Rs 19,999 in India.Īlso Read: HP Sprocket review: The nifty pocket printer you don't need It also looks a tad too bulky for everyday use, and consumers may just prefer buying a standalone polaroid camera instead, especially when they cheaper like the Polaroid OneStep 2, for example, at $99. The Moto Z series have generally been impressive in the camera department, which means users are likley to get pretty decent Polaroids.Īt $199, the Polaroid Insta-Share Printer is pretty expensive. It has an angular box-shaped design that will likely provide for a better grip for photography. You can also customise the photos with filters, borders and text before printing them out. The Moto Mod comes with a physical button to launch the camera and snap a picture. ![]()
