Our Verdict

Liene Amber M100

Fujifilm instax mini Link 2

The Fujifilm instax mini Link 2 and the Liene Amber M100 are both photo printers. The Fujifilm is a portable polaroid-like printer with an internal battery, while the Liene is more of a general photo printer that requires an electrical outlet to function. If you want the best photo quality, the Liene performs better because it has a wider color range and can produce finer details. The Liene is also more versatile as you can use it with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices, while the Fujifilm only works with smartphones and Fujifilm cameras.
