Looking For Photo Printer Recommendations (feddit.nu)

I have recently bought a cheap second hand DSLR (Nikon D3200) and I want some simple way to print photos I am happy with. I have been looking at devices like the Instax Link, the Polaroid Hi-Print and some Canon product.

What I really want is just simple prints that look good with no extra features. The device should preferably be in an as small format as possible and be either powered by USB-C or charged by USB-C if it is battery powered.

The best would be if the interface used to print the photos was as dumb/simple as possible. I accept that I might have to get an app or something, but if possible I would like it to be usable without an app as well (SD card? Web interface?).

I have never owned any photo printers before and don't really know what to look for. Hopefully I have made it somewhat clear what I am looking for.

What are your recommendations? What do you use? Are you happy with your photo printer?

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Personally I wouldn't bother. A lot of high street stores and supermarkets offer photo printing for a few pence per image and the quality is massively superior to those products.

Because of the power consumed, don't expect any decent photo printer to last long on battery. They'll be AC-powered most of the time.
