Polaroid PoGo ZINK Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer Set For Release pocket-friendly 4.7' x 72mm x 23.5mm

In line with expectations, Polaroid's new PoGo ZINK portable printer
(or, to give it it's full, somewhat elongated title, Polaroid's PoGo
ZINK Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer) looks set to become available
tomorrow (June 6) as originally touted in Polaroid's previous press
releases, though initial reactions have been, at best, lukewarm with PC
Magazine, who took the PoGo for a test run, referring to the quality of
its prints as merely 'adequate'.Measuring in at a pocket-friendly 4.7'
x 72mm x 23.5mm and billed as being capable of producing full colour 2'
x 3' photo prints in less than 60 seconds, (PC Magazine actually found
that, in practice, the PoGo took between one and a half minutes to two
minutes to produce prints that it billed as merely
‘adequate’), Polaroid's PoGo is set to become the first
printer to become commercially available that utilises the much hyped
ZINK printing technology (ZINK stands for Zero Ink, incidentally) that
employs a patented composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and
cyan dye crystals which can be activated with up to 200 million heat
pulses in a mere 30 seconds in a just a single pass.

Capable of receiving data either via USB or Bluetooth, allowing the
device to print imagery wirelessly from devices such as cell phones,
Polaroid's PoGo ZINK Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer will set you
back around $150 with each pack of ZINK papers, offering 30
sticky-backed prints, costing around $10.
