Polaroid kicks bootie again



Polaroid's Digital Mobile Photo Printer is pretty darn cool. Get this kids...an inkless printer. Yes, inkless. Available this summer for about $150.

from their site:
The heart of this new "ZINK" category of printing is the ZINK Paper™. The patented ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass. With 100 billion crystals in a 2x3" print, the paper is 100% inkless. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. Because there is no ink, every ZINK-enabled device has the unique benefits of being small, simple, elegant, and eco-friendly.

printable from a camera phone or a regular camera, prints are done in about 60 seconds. Shake your Polaroid picture sistah.

what You Get:
• 2” x 3” borderless, sticky-back prints
• Bluetooth, PictBridge compatible
• Smudge-proof, water-resistant, tear-proof photos
• Fade-resistant, long-lasting images
• No waste – no ink cartridges
• Prints in about 60 seconds
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery


Just when I cried over them discontinuing Polaroid film they give me hope once again.
