Portable printers are not new, but Fujifilm's Instax Mini Link has been designed to turn the pocket printer into a fun smartphone accessory, rather than a dull computer peripheral. The compact device, hooks up to your mobile phone via Bluetooth and lets you print images from your photo library, or direct from the camera – giving you a great deal of control over the printing process, without turning this into a chore.

The Instax Mini Link is about 20% lighter and 23% smaller than the existing Fujifilm Instax SP-2 printer - which also uses the popular Instax Mini instant film packs, that offer you ten prints for around 80 cents or 80p a pop. Pictures are printed out in about 12 seconds, and are fully developed in a further 90. The image area measures 62x44mm (2.4x1.8in), whilst the overall print size is 54×86 mm (2.1×3.4in).
