FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is pleased to announce the release of the “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-2,” the smartphone printer which can print high-quality credit-card sized instant photos from smartphones in just 10 seconds.

In recent years, the number of photos taken by smartphone users has been increasing. Photos are usually shared with friends through SNS such as Facebook and Instagram and people enjoy using filters and editing their favorite photos.

The “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-2” is a newly designed product which has improved image quality compared to that of the “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-1” and new functions to meet users' preferences and their lifestyle of taking and editing photos with smartphones.

A higher image resolution and contrast are achieved with the adoption of a new exposure system of the “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-2.” Also, the printing time has been shortened by combining the exposure and film output processes. When users send an image to the “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-2” via wireless LAN, they can get photos in just 10 seconds.

In addition, new filters and templates have been added to the creative experience of the free “instax SHARE” app. Using the “Custom filter,” the brightness, contrast and saturation of the image can be adjusted. With the “Collage template, ” two to four images can be combined into one instax photo and with the “Split template, ” one image can be split into two instax photos.

The “instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-2” is available in Gold and Silver. From the product design point of view, its body has been refined and finished to create a sophisticated appearance.

The Instax Share SP2 marks another improvement in print quality on Fujifilm's mini instax films with a step up of 254 dpi vs 320 dpi and a 640x480 dots previously to a now 800x600 dots resolution.

Most of all, colours are now not not overly random and the beauty of XTrans colours are replicated with more natural and vibrant colours.

Hi , there will be a preorder soon. I expect the stocks to be in by end of July. Prices wise it will be clear once the pre order out. I'll be sharing this here too.
 

able to use the same power cable to power up the printer from power bank?
 

The SP2 runs on the NP45 battery & uses a microUSB port for charging. A power bank is sufficient to power it up but the SP1 cable definitely will not work on it.
 

Got microUSB no need that SP1 cable anymore! Thanks for the info!
