How to Print Instagrams to Look Like Polaroids

Ever since I was in New York three years ago and my mom mailed me my grandpa’s old Polaroid SX-70, I’ve been obsessed. There’s just something magical about the square photo surrounded by that white border that comes out of this plastic machine. In the three years since, I’ve grown more interested in other Polaroid cameras, Instax cameras, and of course, Instagram.


Some of my favorite Polaroids.

When Printic contacted me and asked if I wanted to test out their new app that allows you to print and share Instagram photos, my photo-lovin’ self could not say no.

Printic
It’s super easy to use their app on the iPhone, you can easily go through the photos on your phone or Instagram, choose the ones you want printed for $1 each, and they’ll ship to you in a couple days for free. You can also ship them to a friend as a little surprise. πŸ™‚

Printic
If you want to test out Printic for yourself, just leave a comment below with your favorite camera or type of photo to take! Next Wednesday I’ll choose one winner using Random.org to win 3 sets of Printics! (27 photos.) πŸ™‚ Open to all countries except Asia right now. (They don’t ship to Asia just yet.)

    Hi, that's a really cool app. I have a Canon Rebel now, but in my younger days I used Zenit, and old and true soviet camera. I have to say that instagram and instaframe are my preferred methods of editing nowadays. Canon is great, but it's lots of work, don't you think?

    I've been using my little holga for about a year now and I've had a ton of fun with it. I've recently gotten my hands on one of my friends Hasselblads though and I've fallen in love with it. I see one in my near future.

    I love using my Holga, because I never really know how the photo will turn out. For digital photography, I use a Nikon D60. I'd love to try out Printic. I've printed photos to look like a polaroid before by using a downloaded polaroid frame and Photoshop, but Printic sounds like it would be much faster!

    My favorite camera is a twin lens reflex for sure!

    I will always have a soft spot in my heart for pinhole cameras and pictures. I still have my old pinhole cam from high school!

    I love taking anything that just speaks to me. And it is even better when it turns out just right:)

    My favorite camera is my Olympus one…it's just a point and shoot, but for what I use it for, it's perfect!(:

    I enjoy taking photos of cool buildings/sights that I see while I'm outside of my usual stomping grounds.

    My favorite photos to take are of friends and family. However, if you looked through my phone pictures, you'd think I'm obsessed with my cats. I guess I kind of am. πŸ™‚

    Ummm.. yes, please! I am a lover of Instagram AND Polaroids, so these prints are a dream come true, since I don't own a Polaroid (just yet!) I love using my iPhone camera and Instagram as filters. I also use my Canon Rebel XS. Would love to win! Thanks for this post :))
