Our Verdict

Canon SELPHY Square QX10

Fujifilm instax Link WIDE

The Fujifilm instax Link WIDE and Canon SELPHY Square QX10 are both portable photo printers; however, they work differently from one another. The Fujifilm printer uses film rather than paper, similar to Polaroid film, whereas the Canon uses dye sublimation and heat. Both require proprietary film and paper to print. The Fujifilm has the edge when it comes to print and color quality, as its wider color gamut and better color accuracy make photos appear more vivid and detailed. That being said, the Canon gives you a wider range of customization, as you can print in various paper sizes. The Canon also prints faster, as photos from the Fujifilm printer take a long time to develop.
