Even in a world that includes smartphone photography and crazy 50x zooms, instant print cameras as still a thing. These quirky, fun little cams have managed to carve out their little corner of the market, and new shooters continue to be drawn into the endless possibilities of returning to film. The Kodak Printomatic is one of our favorite instant cameras. If you've picked one up recently, we want to share our favorite accessories with you. Let's do this.
Keep it protected
Hard cases add the most protection to your gear, and this model from LTGEM is no exception. It fits the Printomatic snugly and includes a zippered pocket for storing memory cards, charging cables, and other small items. The strap on the LTGEM EVA Hard Case is detachable, so the entire case is easy to handle or stuff in a backpack.
Get that paper
This pack of Kodak Premium Zink Photo Paper will keep you in business. Zink paper uses no ink and doesn't come in a cartridge, so it's less wasteful than the film of yesterday. Kodak Zink paper is treated with a glossy, protective coating that makes it water and tear-resistant and brings old bold, vivid colors.
Carry it safely
This case comes straight from the makers of the camera, so you know it's a perfect fit. There's a small pocket on the inside to carry a few pieces of paper and a shoulder strap so you can bring it along on your adventures hands-free. It comes in black, gray, and blue.
Don't lose it
If you're anything like me, you lose things. You set something down and instantly forget where you put it. Kodak's Printomatic neck strap solves that problem and also gives you a way to keep your camera close. This strap is comfy to wear, adjustable, and comes in fresh Kodak yellow or subtle gray.
Have fun with your photos
The fun doesn't need to stop when you print out your pictures. This massive set of border stickers let you decorate photos to your heart's content. You'll get 100 perfectly sized stickers that add a touch of color to the border of photos.
Show off your work
Some of our family's fondest memories live in old photo albums like this one. This Kodak album is sized for 2x3 Kodak Printomatic pictures. There are 64 photo windows, and images slide in and out easily. Grab an album in black, blue, purple, or red.
