You Can Get This Kodak Instant Photo Printer on Sale for $70 Right Now
There’s something nostalgic about holding a printed photo in your hand, especially in a world full of scrolling and swiping. That’s probably why the Kodak Step Instant smartphone photo printer is getting so much attention: it’s small enough to fit in your bag, fast enough to use on the go, and requires no ink or toner. Right now on StackSocial the price is down to $69.99 in black, white or blue. And if awards are important to you, PCMag named him a 2023 Photo Printer of the Year and gave him an Editors’ Choice seal. Not bad for something made of lightweight plastic with a matte finish that weighs less than your phone and fits neatly in your pocket.
This little gadget connects to your smartphone (iOS or Android) via Bluetooth or NFC and produces 2×3-inch prints in less than a minute. No ink – just ZINK (no ink) photo paper that uses built-in dye crystals. However, the starter pack only includes five sheets of photo paper, so you’ll have to stock up ahead of time if you plan to use it often. The prints aren’t professional lab quality (but you wouldn’t expect that either), but they are colorful, smudge-resistant, water-resistant, have a peel-off backing, and are great for scrapbooks, mood boards, or refrigerator slaps. You can print up to 25 photos per charge, and it’s all done through the Kodak app. The app isn’t stunning, but it allows you to do the basics – crop, add filters, add a few stickers, maybe a frame or two.
It also comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty, which is good peace of mind for a portable printer at this price. Shipping is limited to the contiguous US, so please keep that in mind if you are viewing the site from outside the country. But overall, this is a simple little printer that doesn’t promise too much, doesn’t overcomplicate, and really delivers on the fun of printing your memories in real time .
