What is an instant printer?
Instant printers are compact and designed to work with smartphones. Unlike other printers, these devices aren't made to print documents. Instead, they focus on printing quality photos you've taken on your phone.
These printers are often small enough to fit in your purse or pocket. Some instant printers work with sticky paper that can be used for scrapbooking.
