Casio introduces PCP-1200 and PCP-250 touchscreen photo printers with flip-down keyboards

Photo printers don't really do it for us, but Casio's two newest models pack in enough bells and whistles to make us at least pay attention, if not actually print out photos -- the PCP-1200 (pictured) and PCP-250 both feature fold-down keyboards for titling, print 2400 x 1200 dpi res on up to A6-size paper, take virtually every memory card format you can throw at them, and allow you to draw on the images using a stylus. The 1200 sports a 7-inch screen, while the 250 gets a portrait-oriented 3.5-inch display -- yeah, we'd actually be totally into these if they were coming to the States and had pricing info. Oh well.

Welcome everybody to the new touch screen era!

That's such a sexy printer...........Too bad the girl it comes with is flat as a board :(

Anything more than a handful and you're risking a sprained thumb.

[phanbouy @ Aug 19th 2008 2:10PM]

wait, so you're calling a photo printer sexy yet criticizing the girl's looks? or just a failed joke?

[SNP @ Aug 19th 2008 1:15PM]

wonder if it can play Doom...

[Your Dad @ Aug 19th 2008 1:41PM]

Your mom plays Doom.

[andres @ Aug 19th 2008 2:35PM]

and coming from your dad, you know its true.

[phanbouy @ Aug 19th 2008 3:23PM]

"girl you know it's true. ooo, ooo, ooooooh..."

check the birth certificates of this model

[Lowest Ranked @ Aug 19th 2008 1:22PM]

The model in the printed photo is roughly 1, the Asian model is much, much older considering they have incredible genes.

Which one were you interested in again?

[phanbouy @ Aug 19th 2008 1:29PM]

i think he's talking about the girl on the pictures?

[paul34 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:33PM]

She has to be the most enthusiastic photo printer user I've ever seen.

[V3LOCIP3D3 @ Aug 19th 2008 2:20PM]

I just watched that lame new horror film Shutter last night, and I swear to god that's the same girl that got hit by the car.

. . . . kinda ironic that she's posing for a 'photo' printer ad.

[phanbouy @ Aug 19th 2008 2:29PM]

yeah, that's some irony.

[kjb434 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:34PM]

So is this is Casio's new Netbook? HAHA

[phanbouy @ Aug 19th 2008 1:51PM]

you crack you up, huh

[BigD145 @ Aug 19th 2008 2:04PM]

Or you could build a small media PC with a Nano ITX board and put it under your existing photo printer. I can easily see this Casio going for $2k.

[James Yopp @ Aug 19th 2008 2:39PM]

Too cute. The picture on the screen has the sideways-baby saying "Haaa~!" and wondering "Did I scare you?".

Still, anybody who'd prefer to do that type of retouching on a tiny printer touchscreen instead of on a PC (or a Wii!) is either masochistic or has a phobia regarding normal computers. Even in that case, I think I could buy a bajillion photo pens and goofy stickers for a fraction of the price of this thing.

[Mycroft @ Aug 19th 2008 2:47PM]

I can't wait for someone to cram Vista in that thing.






The printer, perv.

[James @ Aug 21st 2008 1:57AM]

Oh, I was about to cram my vista into her.

[tanooki2003 @ Aug 19th 2008 2:54PM]

I think I will take the girl instead.

[brian @ Aug 19th 2008 4:36PM]

But wouldn't the keyboard get dirty? Cuz it's right where the paper comes out...

[Jeff @ Aug 19th 2008 4:43PM]

Cassio still hasn't given up pastel color-coded buttons? It's like the 90's all over again, and I love it.

[cromas @ Aug 19th 2008 6:47PM]

Year has no bearing on design decisions in Japan. Or anything else. I saw MiniDisc players as often as I saw mp3 players when I lived there.
