The Polaroid Hi-Print pocket printer has quickly become a favorite for its portability and ease of use. But the real magic lies in the quality of the photo paper itself. This review focuses on the Polaroid HI Print 2×3 Paper Cartridge (20 Sheet pack), diving deep into its performance, ease of use, and overall value.

This 20-sheet pack contains two cartridges, each holding ten sheets of 2×3 inch sticky-backed photo paper and the necessary color ribbon. The sticky back is a major plus, allowing for instant placement on various surfaces. The setup is incredibly straightforward; simply insert the cartridge into the printer and you’re ready to go. The color reproduction, even from my phone, has consistently impressed me.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve printed a variety of photos using this paper – landscapes, portraits, even some close-up shots of my cat (who, unsurprisingly, was unimpressed). The color accuracy is surprisingly good, and the photos have a nice, vibrant look. The sticky back adheres reliably to smooth surfaces, though it’s important to note it might not stick perfectly to textured ones. The paper itself feels high quality, resistant to smudging, and produces impressive detail levels for its size. The print speed is also noteworthy, churning out images very quickly. I haven’t noticed any significant issues with color bleeding or fading (so far).

Pros:

• Convenient sticky back for easy placement
• Vibrant and accurate color reproduction
• High-quality photo paper with good detail
• Fast printing speed
• Easy to install

Cons:

• Sticky back might not adhere perfectly to textured surfaces
• Price per photo is higher compared to some alternative printing methods

The Polaroid HI Print 2×3 Paper Cartridge (20 Sheet pack) provides a consistently satisfying printing experience. While the price per photo might be higher than other options, the convenience, quality, and fun factor make it a worthwhile investment for those who appreciate instant, high-quality photos. The sticky back is a genuinely useful feature, and the overall print quality is excellent. I highly recommend this paper for anyone owning a Polaroid Hi-Print printer.
