Instax FAQ

 

How long does a polaroid Instax Mini photo last? Do Polaroid Instax pictures fade?

100+ Years!

According to Polaroid.com, the American National Standards Institute says that Polaroid films do not fade any faster than any other photographic medium, as long as they are properly stored. They say it takes more than 100 years for them to fade if stored in an archival quality album. Dark storage is recommended by Polaroid to prevent fading, and they claim their color dyes are very stable under these conditions.

Does the polaroid camera come with warranty?

Yes, it comes with 1 year warranty from the day/date of purchase. There are 2 years and 3 years extended warranty available if you top up as well. Read more about our 2 years / 3 years Warranty Policy. Click here to view.

Is it a must to buy the warranty? How long does an Instax camera last before it malfunctions?

We strongly advise customers to top up for our extended warranty. We are the only seller that offers genuine extended warranty and have well-trained in house technicians to repair the cameras.
