LG products are used in all aspects of life, including world-class washing machines, refrigerators, and other household appliances. In its huge product system, photo printers are an inconspicuous small category. But in the field of photo printers, LG Qupai is a representative of another portable printer.
 
This type of printer is called a Zink inkless printer, which is very similar to a Polaroid printer, in that it uses photographic paper to develop color and has no ink. Zink photo paper has a 5-layer structure, in addition to the surface coating and sheet base, there is a CMY three-color crystal dye layer in the middle, and different colors will appear under different heat. All Zink papers come from an American company that bears the name "Zink", and with Fujifilm almost monopolizing the Polaroid paper market, Zink offers a more mature option for other manufacturers. LG, HP, and Polaroid have all launched similar portable printers, but compared with other traditional printing methods, the color reproduction of Zink photo paper is slightly insufficient.
 
If the Polaroid printer pursues feelings, the LG Zink printer is a "toy" for young men and women to embrace the trend, and the Line Friend version of the Brown Bear Fun has always been LG's most popular model. The biggest difference between Fun and Fujifilm SP-2 and SP-3 is the size of the photo, and the photos of SP-2 and SP-3 are all Polaroid style, which means that there are white edges and are more retro. LG Fun can print borderless photos with a larger frame size. If you have a hobby of making handbooks, LG also provides a pastable photo paper, which saves the trouble of gluing. After several iterations, the current price of Qupai ranges from 700~1000 yuan. However, it should be noted that the storage time of Zink photo paper is not very long, about 1~2 years, if you want to keep it as a souvenir, you should be cautious when purchasing.
