Digital Camera World Verdict

The Instax Square Link is the sweet spot in size between the Mini Link and Link Wide, and is also the sweet spot in terms of price. Image quality on all three printers is all but identical, but the Square Link comes with exclusive features like AR effects and a reprint button – the latter making it a perfect party printer. If you love the magic of printing onto real Instax film, this is arguably the best all-round portable instant printer.

The Instax Square Link is the manufacturer's latest portable instant printer, which uses real Instax film as its medium. So in short, if you've ever wanted to print your photos onto a "Polaroid" and give them to somebody, this is what you're looking for. 

As you might have guessed, the Instax Square Link uses Instax Square film. As such, this printer completes the lineup of Instax printers using the manufacturer's three different formats – if you want to print on smaller Instax Mini film, then the Instax Mini Link / Instax Mini Link 2 is for you, while the Instax Link Wide is the one to go for if you want prints on the larger Instax Wide film. The Square Link replaces the now discontinued Instax Share SP-3
