As a standard printer, it’s genuinely unusable it can’t connect to computers at all, and it can only print photos which means it’s not an option at all for businesses or most home users. The Kodak Mini 2 is a mediocre product for all but those that fall into its narrow niche.

Kodak Mini 2 HD Wireless Portable Mobile Instant Photo Printer Wrap-up It’s only good for printing small pictures from your phone though, and its cost per page is extremely expensive. In a vacuum, it’s fine for what you get, as its print quality isn’t terrible and it’s extremely portable. Valueįor $89, the Kodak Mini 2 is an alright value proposition, though its low efficiency and uselessness as a general-purpose printer dramatically hinder it. It can’t connect to a computer at all, and all of its real functionality is tied to the app, which is a bit buggy. There’s no touchscreen interface (or any interface at all–everything is through the app), and it only prints photos. Connectivity wise, it’s fine Wi-Fi (and by extension, Wi-Fi Direct), bluetooth, and NFC are all present, and it has an app that handles connecting to it, but that’s all it has. That is to say, that’s an immense understatement that fails to convey at all just what’s missing here.

To say the Kodak Mini 2 is lacking in advanced features would be like saying La Croix is lacking in flavor, or LG is lacking in software update speeds. Compared to other pocketable photo printers, it’s not terrible but also not great it’s cheaper than Polaroid’s “ZINK” technology, but roughly $1 per page is absolutely terrible when compared with even the least efficient ink-gushing printers out there. Similar to print quality, the measure of its efficiency boils down to what you compare it to. You’re not going to get the best quality photos from it, but for its price it’s a bit better than you’d expect, particularly compared to its immediate contemporaries. You get what you pay for here when you compare it to other printers in general, but when you compare it to its class–pocket sized photo printers–it’s not bad, just mediocre.
It’s a far cry from the Canon Pixma iP100’s quality, but it’s cheaper by a decent bit. It’s better than competing products from Polaroid for sure, but that’s not a high bar prints lack detail and suffer from color issues that over or undersaturate prints, depending on the represented color. Print quality is simply unimpressive on the Kodak Mini 2. This is on par with the absolute dreadfully slowest portable printers like the Epson WorkForce iP110 (which pulls similar photo print speeds, but speeds several orders of magnitude higher in any other case), but much slower than even a budget printer like the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile Printer that takes around 40 seconds to print an image, and far less to print a document. Kodak is up there with Polaroid trying to buck the trend of measuring printers by pages per minute, instead preferring consumers use their bold new metric of minutes per page. In other words, it’s dreadfully slow: its singular job is to print small photos, and yet it takes just shy of a minute and a half to actually do so. Just like a laptop with an Intel Atom and spinning rust or a 10 Mbps internet connection, the Kodak Mini 2’s speed is absolutely perfect if your goal is turn it on (or in this case, press print), make a cup of coffee, fix yourself a nice breakfast, and get nice and settled in before the print has finished.
