Polaroid PoGo ZINK Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer

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.
