how can anyone take this review seriously when one of the brands is paying him for his review??? spoiler alert - he just happens to pick the brand that paid him

Not sure if this has been pointed out but the Liene has its own built in wifi hot spot. It does not rely on your home connection. Turn it on and your phone or computer can pickup the wifi signal form the printer.

I've been waiting for a review like this! I'll have to watch this after work so I can pay full attention.

This video was recommended to me despite not planning to buy any of these printers but I stayed and watched anyway because the review is really good and that channel intro caught my attention. ❤ Awesome video.

I got one Liene from your previous Liene video. Best recent purchase! Great videos!

Thanks for this review, I loved it. And you helped me figure out which one that I'm going to get. God bless u always.

Great review, and appreciate that you've disclosed that Liene sponsored it. However it's hard to overlook any potential bias. It didn't occur to me when I initially watched your video, but it's pretty evident once I did my own research and came back to it with a different set of eyes. Liene's main downsides appear to be the app itself, MAC connectivity and the printing cost. The last one is a big decisive factor in choosing a product for most people. You also didn't show the app interface, while you did it for Kodak and HP's products. Despite that it's honestly the best review of either of the printers I could find online (in video or article format), even if partially biased so keep it up! You've clearly done a good job, since Liene themselves have used footage from your video on their website ;)

Thanks for the review. Can you check if it's possible to send the photo via Bluetooth to the HP and Kodak printer without using the app (e.g. from a laptop)? I read that it should work for the HP, but I haven't found anything on the Kodak.

I have an interesting question for the Kodak print dock, are the color cartridges and paper cartridges compatible with the old Kodak Easyshare print docks?

How did you get the Kodak printer to slide into the tray for storage? It doesn’t slide in easily and one side is higher than the other one

This isn't just an ordinary Chris

The big 4x6 photo printer war

I owned all three the hp has the best quality and price. You simply can’t beat it the Kodak is the next best. The liens is a no name company that has good ideas. Maybe in 30 years of experience they may be good. In fact there are 2-3 other printers that are better then it. I do get that they are paying to make KZfaq commercials for them. They need word of mouth.

I've been looking at all of these printers, including the new canon selphy and what not, but I think I'm going with the Kodak just because it's got the cheapest refills with a set of 80 sheets and cartridge refills coming in at just 23 dollars off amazon... as well as the printer being just a tad more expensive than the liene (10 dollars) and only 15 dollars more than the selphy. If you don't plan on printing many photos though, I definitely would reccomend going with the Canon Selphy CP1500 since I've heard great things about it.

So I can use other photo paper brands to use on the liene printer? Like the hp paper printer you used?

what camera did you record with this video is crisp looks great!

This review was amazing. I’m just wondering what about the ink? Is it like polaroid paper than already has it infused in the paper or how does this work??

Chris, Would you recommend Liene lots of computer use? And did you do any comparison on the cost per print for each? I am a hobby photographer, I use mostly Instax and my Nikon D3500. Of course Instax prints on its own, but I usually take the photos from my Nikon, edit them, then load them onto a USB to take to Walmart to get printed. Prints can cost anywhere from .10 - .25 cents (Canadian) each depending on how many you print at a time. (Price per print goes down a bit when you print more.) I've been looking for a home printer for a few years now but haven't been able to convince myself which one is the right one. For a "Sitting on my desk, not traveling" experience, would the Liene be worth it, in your opinion.

It has to upgrade the firmware to work, Kodak removed the firmware and it has no option to not upgrade. What to do?

Great video and thank you! My question is about print ink. I would like to know about the cost of printer ink. I think that’s an important consideration. And this isn’t the first time I have watched a review.

Finally biting the bullet on a printer purchase. Have been knocking my head against the wall for the past year trying to find out I want to get my wife to print pics of our little bean.

Loved the review! Though I think you missed per-photo print cost 🙂 Still... it would have been amazing if you had included the *Canon Selphy*. One the oldest, but still most popular and highest rated portable printer at the moment on most comparisons online. We ended up buying the Liene a while ago and are loving it! Though the Canon Selphy was 100% by far our second pick over the HP and Kodak out of reliability and print costs concerns. Though I'm genuinely curious if the Liene would have still won by a landslide if the Selphy was in the race 👀 maybe an idea for another video?

Just got the Kodak printer this week. I found a deal with the printer and 80 sheets for $75

Can we get a 2023 comparison my man? Looking for the new liene and canon selphy

I'm trying to understand how the paper/cartridge works on these printers. I want to get one but got scared when I saw the kodak cartrige reviews saying that 40 paper packs only work for about 10 photos because the cartridge runs out at about 10 photos. How true is that? I saw all the video but there is no comparison on how much the cartridge lasts or if the photo paper lasts as much as advertised on the packs.

Very nice review, but you should have considered cost per print. Kodak wins this category hands down.

What about the cost of print?

How do I add text to the border on kosak

Have you ever tested the Canon Selphy printers?

Okay, you convinced me Chris. I’ve ordered a battery powered version of the Liene, so that I can add photos more easily when I write my granddaughter each week. Thanks for the video. Subscribed. P.S. I haven’t looked through all your videos, but it would be interesting to compare it to the Canon Selphy CP1300. The Canon is quite a bit more expensive, but as I was looking through a bunch of different options for photo printers (including different sizes), it seemed to have pretty good reviews.

I know that the Liene won him over but its gonna be the HP for me 🤗💕

Visually the one in the middle does look better

Why do I see borders?? No borderless printing option available?

Hey, does anyone know how long does the quality of the photos from the liene printer lasts before it starts fading?

You can barely even tell who sponsored this video! Kidding. This is sad.

I wonder how the Canon Selphy 1500 would atack up against these. The Canon is quite popular in Asia.

Also! Do you have a link to Print Club?

Has anyone tried to put like a 50MP photo through this Liene printer and see what happens? Does it even TIFF?

Thank you. Just ordered a liene. 😚

Um, so, if you don't have WiFi can you still use the Liene?

Photo printer should always have USB and on Printer Button operation. WIFI and Blue Tooth are only optional. Too much hype is given to them. All photo printers should come with on console button control and SD card.

What about the Polaroid lab??

Thanks man.

This is an ad, not a review. First video of yours I've watched. :(

I got the Heinie, oops Liene based on your previous video ... glad I did and this kinda makes me feel warm and wet!!!

Do a video with the canon selphy 1300 vs the liene

Can this work on a mirror less camera

Dude are you using jpeg to print? You need to use TIFF format in CMYK color space to print, while also downsizing the image to the proper resolution, otherwise everything is going to be from an automatic algorithm converting it, which will only ever reduce quality and create differences that could have been avoided. Also if you've got stock in Liene, you know it's a federal crime to not divulge that right?

[[ does the liene use their own paper? ]]

But the 1000000 dollar question is...do any of them have sticker paper? I wanna make stickers...

I believe all photo paper is made by Kodak, with all brands of Photo printers.

if he wasn't sponsored he probably would have been harder on the liene.

Huawei is great!

The Kodak gives you 80 sheets today for the same price

Adn Canon Selphy ....???!!!! :(

I​​⁠ really appreciate the content you provide, but good gosh, some your viewers are so negative and ungrateful. You spend so much time, money on products and film, etc and effort on the FREE content you provide for us, and a lot of what I’m reading in the comments are a bunch of whiny people bitchin’ about what you didn’t say, demonstrate or include in this video…? Really?! Your videos would be an hour long if you compared Liene to every printer on the market (which you have ALREADY DONE in other videos), but these impatient, instant gratification, “sense of entitlement” kinda keyboard warriors seem to just want to just tell you “how to do you”. I gotta say, it really just pisses me off. No one understands the amount of time it takes to put together a really well-done video, all to earn the pittance of ad & affiliate compensation that we make from them are laughable. We do this to share information we are passionate about. Do these commenters really believe that you would sacrifice your reputation to Liene, lie to and mislead your viewers all for a free $160 photo printer?!!? SMDH! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess because I put up with my own brand of opinionated a@shats, it annoys me when I see this kind of hard work go unappreciated, but the point of my comment was to tell you that I really APPRECIATE all of the information you do provide. You cover a ton of the major points, and if I need more than that, I can do like we used to do in the “olden days”, and go look up the answers on my own, before someone did all the work for us. 😉😂 #contentcreatorsunite ✌🏻 #creatorsagainsthaters 😂

Gee I wonder what one is the best. Could it possible be the company that paid you to make the video. This video is disingenuous. Thumbs down.

Worthless unless it was a sticker

Unsubscribe! I can’t believe you’re a Pepsi drinker 😉

Why compare Liene to the crap league (i.e. kodak, hp...)? Why not compare to Canon Selphy or AgfaPhoto? You know why? Because then Liene would have no chance and nobody pays money to say their product is the second or the third best :) So folks, you now know which portable printer is the best Canon Selphy (especially the upgraded 1500 version)! In every aspect Canon wins and the price difference is totally justified.

Cringe

lol what a hack. WOW I PICKED THE PEOPLE THAT PAY ME AND IM LITERALLY AN AD ON THEIR WEBSITE :D :D :D
