I absolutely love this handy little printer! Almost daily, I send photos from the past, present or future to my 91 year old mother in her daily card. The photos have created a delightful journal for both of us of my life shared with her! It packs to go with me, works from my phone and even allows me to edit photos before printing them. One of the most amazing features is NO ink to install EVER! Just simply drop paper into the printer and beautiful, colorful photos are instantly created.

It is fabulous for the grandchildren also. They love photos, especially of them!
I highly recommend this product. The customer service is very friendly and helpful. I am so glad I have a Lifeprint Photo printer!

Photos don't come out the best quality, most of the time they print crooked showing white border, some photos come out with a strong red or blue tint. All hyperphotos print with your username in the bottom corner, neither the app or product tells you that and you cannot change your username once your account is made. It also doesn't mention that you will need internet connection to be able to play the videos, oftentimes the videos don't play or take a long time to load. I would also recommend not queuing too many photos at one time, as I had experience with it getting confused and printing multiples of the same photo while it was only queued for one copy.
The app also doesn't allow editing of videos from rotating them to cropping them and I found that I needed to download additional apps to complete these tasks. The printer overheats frequently, usually after only printing about 3 photos consecutively and takes a while to cool down, you cannot print anything during the time it takes to cool down. It doesn't doesn't allow printing of even slightly blurry pictures. The sticker adhesive is not that strong, the edges lift up most of the time when stuck to regular paper. Did its job for the project i was working on but will probably never use again.

Crappy Prints. Application sucks. Good concept with the photo motion thing, but doesn't work smoothly as it shows in videos. The cover of the printer easily slips off just from picking up the printer. Very flimsy. Also prints lines through the photos.

we ordered two during the kickstarter and this is our third. we gave one to each of our parents and they love that we can send them photos of us, since they aren't very good at checking instagram or Facebook. pictures are great size to put up on the fridge, or put a few in a frame together. we are planning on using it for our wedding photobooth, so that people can print out photos with this instead of having an expensive photobooth. we love it!

Getting to the point - if the printer isn't working the way you expect, for example, prints are blotchy or strongly tinted green, contact the Facebook chat support team. They are extremely helpful and want you to have an amazing experience with your LifePrint!

The good:

When it works, it's magical like a mashup of Hogworts and a futuristic sci-fi. You can't beat that wow-factor, and you feel like a wizard when you see that look on your friend's face as they view your hyperphoto for the first time!

Apple is betting big dollars that AR will take off in the next two years. They've invested millions in their developer APIs and software, purchased Metaio, patented their own version of glasses, and have the verbal nod from other heavy hitters like Microsoft and Facebook that Augmented Really is the next stage in interface technology with Internet of Things being a stepping stone to get there.

LifePrint is sanctioned by Apple, taking highly coveted DEMO shelf space in their stores. To me, that means it's not a passing fad, but a viable technology of the future to consider.

Their customer support really is amazing. That's important for all companies, but vital for startups. It shows healthy direction and a hopeful future.

The print color is good and pretty true to the tones. You don't have to buy ink with this printer - ever! They chose to use zink for that convenience, but aside from convenience, inkless prints are a huge benefit for reasons that would take paragraphs to vent. This could easily become the mainstay of consumer-based photo printing in the future (a couple of years from now).

The printer holds together nicely on my desk, and I haven't had any issues with it opening on its own in my pack.

I trust that it's only a matter of a few months - by 4Q, 2017 - for LifePrint to work out the final kinks with their servers, and Apple believes in them, so it's worth the investment in my book.

The not-so-good:

The technology is still being worked out. There is a vast lag between when a friend first scans the photo and is able to finally see the video. Sometimes this lag is measured in hours - if the video doesn't show within a minute of scanning it, try again later. They are taking strides to fix this, but it's a shared frustration amongst users.

The watermark banner on the augmented prints is forced and cannot be opted out. It's a tad longer than your username, so make your username short. No matter what, the bottom left corner of your photo will be covered up with the watermark. They don't plan to change this, though their kickstarter page said this watermark would be optional.

The resolution of the prints isn't as nearly as good as the old 35mm (2x3 ratio) prints from the local drugstore, but I think that's the nature of zink printers today. That could improve over time with firmware and "film" advancement as adoption becomes more widespread.

Paper is only slightly more expensive for lifeprint than other mobile printers and being an indi shop, their paper availability isn't as widespread as HP's or Polaroid's, but it's still easy enough to buy online or at BestBuy.
