The latest product from Instax is going straight to the top of our wish list

We've tried it and it's amazing.

We know what we’ll be asking for this Christmas.

Instax has just launched a new product which lets you transform the photos on your phone into instant photos. Introducing the Instax Share SP-3, the third generation in printing from Instax.

We got the chance to test it out and we can confirm it’s as good as it sounds. You can take as many pictures you want and then turn them into Instant prints.

All you do is download a special app, upload your images to it and from there you can send it to the Share SP-3 which will print out your lovely photos.

We had our Christmas party at the weekend, so I gathered the best selection of photos and printed them out. As we know, most photos taken on your phone rarely get printed these days. They’re mainly used for social media purposes, so it’s great to actually get physical copies to keep.

As the photos themselves aren’t instant, like a normal Instax camera, you get to carefully choose your favourite.

You can also add filters, change the colour of the photo, make collages and add text.

The collage works best when you have two different photos, but, for the purpose of this test, I used one of Denise from the Her team.

And it’s not just limited to photos of your night out. I also used it to print my favourite photo from my wedding. The waiting time to print large batches of important photos, such as your wedding photos, is very long, so the Instax Share SP-3 would be the ideal way to print off some photos while you wait.

You could also make a lovely display for your home with some of the professional photos, using a piece of yarn and some miniature clothes pegs. Then guests can admire photos without having to look through an official album.

You could do the same with baby photographs or their first big milestones.

The Instax Share SP-3 costs €200, and the packet of 10 films costs €11.

It’s well worth investing in.
