If you'd like to pitch a project, please <a href="#" onclick="$('.nav_tipus a').click()">send us a tip</a> with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.</em><br /><div style="text-align: center; "> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/07/insert-coin-instaprint-sets-up-portable-photo-booths-for-instag/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/instaprint.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 4px;" /></a></div><br />While the design hasn't changed much since we spied <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/instaprint-service-is-the-polaroid-of-the-instagram-generation/">Instaprint</a> precisely a year ago, the creators behind the Instagram-connected photo printers are now looking for cash -- <em>your</em> cash. Pitched as an event or party service, you can assign specific tags or locations to the printer, hopefully assuring all those instant snaps have at least a passing connection to whoever or whatever paid for all that photo paper. The technology is all a bit Polaroid, as the printers themselves are ink-free <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zink">Zink</a> types, limited only by however many blank sheets you have inside. Instaprint has set itself the heady target $500,000, with $260,000 of that sum going towards existing hardware and future production. The $399 investment option will net you your very own InstaPrint system, while sepia-tinted image obsessives can offer up &pound;1,449 for the pro kit, containing one WiFi hub printer, three more connectable InstaPrint devices and 80 sheets of inkless paper for your premier cat photo collection/ food gallery get-together. See how it all works right after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/07/insert-coin-instaprint-sets-up-portable-photo-booths-for-instag/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Insert Coin: Instaprint offers portable photo booths for Instagram (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/07/insert-coin-instaprint-sets-up-portable-photo-booths-for-instag/">Insert Coin: Instaprint offers portable photo booths for Instagram (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:00:00 EST.

It may not be as flashy as the pop icon's as-of-yet-unreleased <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lady-gagas-grey-label-polaroid-camera-printer-and-glasses-hands-on/#3759462">Grey Label shooter</a>, but the Polaroid Z340 digital camera certainly bears a striking resemblance. Looking like the GL30 before it puts its face on, the Z340 offers up 14 megapixel stills and comes with a $300 price tag. It can apparently pump out 25 3 x 4-inch prints and 75 digital images on a single charge and uses the company's ZINK Printing Technology for slinging instant memories. It'll also let you crop, pick fancy borders and decide whether to save your favorites to an on-board SD card or print 'em on the spot. The Z340 is now available from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/polaroid/">Polaroid</a>, Amazon and other select retailers. Full PR after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/polaroid-releases-z340-instant-digital-camera-gagas-grey-label/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Polaroid releases Z340 Instant Digital Camera, Gaga's Grey Label snapper still on the edge of glory</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/polaroid-releases-z340-instant-digital-camera-gagas-grey-label/">Polaroid releases Z340 Instant Digital Camera, Gaga's Grey Label snapper still on the edge of glory</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:33:00 EST.

Well, Instaprint aims to recreate the photo craze of yesteryear by tying it in to Instagram -- the wildly popular (and currently iOS-only) app that lets you apply various filters to your photos for quick sharing among friends. The Instaprinter (our term, not the company's) is essentially a modified <a href="http://engadget.com/tag/zink">Zink</a> photo printer with internet connectivity and tie-ins to the Instagram API, that automatically prints items tagged with any hashtag you choose. As of now, the company is planning to rent Instaprint boxes and demo the service at SXSWi, targeting it as a novel way to capture all angles of whatever event you may be hosting -- which to us seems like a fun idea. That is, until someone starts abusing the system and tags a photo of their derriere with #GrandmasBirthday. You can try it out now by tagging your shots with #Instaprint, and see it printed live in the stream embedded after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/instaprint-service-is-the-polaroid-of-the-instagram-generation/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Instaprint service is the Polaroid of the Instagram generation, no shaking required (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/instaprint-service-is-the-polaroid-of-the-instagram-generation/">Instaprint service is the Polaroid of the Instagram generation, no shaking required (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:49:00 EST.

We still don't have the European or US release dates for the Polaroid Pogo instant digicam but they can't be far behind the February 26th date just announced for Japan. Looks like we might see a price cut too, given the &yen;10,000 (about $110) price in Japan compared to the $199 price <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/polaroid-pogo-instant-digital-camera-debuts-at-ces/">announced at CES</a>. Of course, you still have to shell out for the ZINK instant photo paper 10-packs scheduled to run for $4.99, or $12.99 for the 30-pack variety. As a camera, it's not much with its 5 megapixel sensor, SDHC storage, weak-sauce LCD, and 0x optical zoom as we discovered <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/polaroid-pogo-instant-digital-camera-hands-on/">during our hands-on</a>. What it lacks in specs, though, is made up for by its novelty. 2-inch by 3-inch photo stickers in 60 seconds? Urban ego tagging just got a brand new playbook. <br />
<br />
Also announced is a bevy of forgettable budget shooters, including the 12 megapixel t1235, 12 megapixel i1237 with touchscreen LCD, and 9 megapixel a930. Lady GaGa must <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lady-gaga-named-polaroid-creative-director-puts-that-liberal-ar/">be so proud</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/polaroid-pogo-instant-digicam-on-sale-next-week-toilet-graffiti/">Polaroid PoGo instant digicam on sale next week, toilet graffiti will never be the same</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 23 Feb 2010 07:38:00 EST.

<div style="text-align: left;">Knowing the drive and tenacity of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/LadyGaga/">Lady Gaga</a>, we expect that any day now we'll she'll be the president of PLR IP Holdings within the week. Until that fateful day when Polaroid becomes the Haus of Gaga, it looks like the company will be keeping busy by continuing to slap its name on consumer electronics. Probably the coolest of the lot is the PIC 1000, the future-retro <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/polaroids-one-step-film-camera-relaunching-in-2010-nostalgists/">Polaroid OneStep</a> film camera developed in part at the urging of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/impossibles-on-a-mission-to-revive-polaroid-film/">The Impossible Project</a>. Just like its namesake, this guy uses Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film. This bad boy will be available at national retailers in 2010. If digital instant shooters are more your speed, The company's newest Zink-enabled camera, the obviously named Instant Digital Camera, boasts 12 megapixels and 3 x 4-inch prints. And rounding things out, the company has a slapped its name to a handful of LCD TVs from 42 to 65 inches in size. You're psyched, right? Hit the PR after the break for all the shocking details.</div>

It has been a hot minute since we've seen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/05/pandigitals-10-4-inch-pantouch-clear-wifi-digiframe-is-industry/">anything fresh</a> from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pandigital/">Pandigital</a>, but evidently the outfit has been spending the past few months with none other than <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Zink/">Zink</a>. The two are linking hands today to announce the Portable Photo Printer, which is said to be the first-ever 4- x 6-inch Zero Ink printer. As with other Zink gear, this one also requires no ink cartridges or ribbons, and no PC is needed in order to load and print shots. Detailed specifications are still missing, but we <em>are </em>told that a preview LCD, memory card slot, USB port and a touch-based UI for printing are included. The MSRP for the printer is pegged at $149.99 (with paper at $39.99), and it should start leaking out to limited markets as early as today.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/pandigital-crams-zink-technology-within-portable-photo-printer/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Pandigital crams Zink technology within Portable Photo Printer</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/pandigital-crams-zink-technology-within-portable-photo-printer/">Pandigital crams Zink technology within Portable Photo Printer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:01:00 EST.

Despite our doubts (and those of the world), <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/impossibles-on-a-mission-to-revive-polaroid-film/">that very group</a> has evidently caused quite a stir in the offices of Summit Global, which has today announced that the film-based One Step Camera is on track for a mid-2010 release. The Impossible Project will be in charge of producing a limited number of Polaroid-branded color and B&amp;W Instant Films along the way, and just in case film isn't really your bag, Summit is planning to issue a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Polaroid/">Polaroid</a> TWO -- described as the "digital version of the traditional camera that produces instant digital photos" -- sometime next year. It's all about bringing sexy back, y'all.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20091013005988&amp;newsLang=en">Read</a> - Summit Global's release<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/polaroid_/discuss/72157622575733248/">Read</a> - The Impossible Project's release<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/polaroids-one-step-film-camera-relaunching-in-2010-nostalgists/">Polaroid's One Step film camera relaunching in 2010, nostalgists unite to celebrate</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:10:00 EST.

Not like Dell itself didn't <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-finally-confirms-its-portable-wasabi-zink-printer/">already confirm</a> this puppy, but the first Dell-branded, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ZINK/">ZINK</a>-enabled product is officially official. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/dells-ink-free-zink-pz310-wasabi-printer-splashes-down-in-fcc/">Wasabi PZ310</a> ultra-mobile printer promises to produce 2- x 3-inch prints in under a minute, and users with Bluetooth-enabled handsets can send over images for printing with just a few button mashes. The sub-7 ounce device measures in at 4.8- x 2.8- x 0.9-inches, and it'll be made available in black, pink and blue hues. The middling minutiae is all posted up after the break, and those eager to get their paws on one will certainly appreciate the immediate availability and the $99 promotional price. Better hurry -- only Round Rock knows when it'll jump back up to the standard $149.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/dells-wasabi-pz310-zink-printer-now-available-for-99/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dell's Wasabi PZ310 ZINK printer now available for $99</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Polaroid's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/polaroid-pogo-instant-digital-camera-debuts-at-ces/">PoGo Instant Digital Camera</a> isn't for the hardcore geeks -- it's stuck with a 5 megapixel sensor, no optical zoom whatsoever and an LCD monitor that was fanciful in 1998. What it can do, however, is churn out photo stickers in around 60 seconds after a photo is taken without the need for an external printer. Have a look at the March-bound unit below, and look, your kids will love it.

Details are frustratingly absent, but Dell just came clean on that portable Zink printer of theirs, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/dells-ink-free-zink-pz310-wasabi-printer-splashes-down-in-fcc/">the Wasabi</a>, that we saw run by the FCC in September. Luckily, all these Zink printers are pretty much the same -- meaning specialized 2 x 3-inch paper for ink-free printing, and a pretty stonking tiny form factor. Like most of the rest of the products introduced at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/live-from-dells-adamo-press-event/">Dell's ridiculously uninformative press event</a> today, there's no word on price or release date.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-finally-confirms-its-portable-wasabi-zink-printer/">Dell (finally) confirms its portable Wasabi Zink printer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:17:00 EST.

Today at CES, the $199 PoGo Instant Digital Camera is making its grand entrance, utilizing the tried-and-true <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ZINK/">ZINK</a> printing technology. Sadly (and we do mean <em>sadly</em>), there's not even a mention of how many megapixels this thing boasts, which is a pretty telling sign that you won't be getting SD850IS-type quality out of it. Nevertheless, it'll print out ink-free 2- x 3-inch images right from itself, so maybe the quality isn't that big of a deal after all. Or maybe we're just sympathetic.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/ces/" rel="tag">CES</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/polaroid-pogo-instant-digital-camera-debuts-at-ces/">Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera debuts at CES</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:38:00 EST.

<div align="left">We already caught a brief glimpse of Tomy's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zink">Zink</a> printer-equipped Xiao digital camera <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/tomy-xiao-digital-camera-has-built-in-zink-printer-the-spirit-o/">earlier this month</a>, but with the Friday release date now upon us, we finally have a few more details about the would-be Polaroid successor. That includes word of a price for both the camera (&yen;34,800, or just under $370), and the paper you'll need to actually print photos which, at &yen;880 (or about $9) for 20 sheets, likely won't have you plastering your walls with the 2x3-inch shots, even though they do actually have adhesive backs. Interestingly, you can also use the camera to print photos from any IrDA-equipped cellphone, but unfortunately not via WiFi or Bluetooth, which would be a tad more welcome. If that's got you intrigued, you should have a slightly easier time picking one up when it launches internationally next spring, although by then it'll likely also be competing with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/">Polaroid's own Zink-equipped camera</a>.<br /></div>

<div align="left">Like just about everyone else, we miss the Polaroid film format; maybe it's just nostalgia, but we enjoyed having something we could hold on to (and shake) after taking a picture. Polaroids <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/polaroid-no-longer-does-polaroids/">may be dead</a>, but the basic concept lives on -- remember <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/zink-bringing-printers-to-your-handheld-gadgetry/">Zink</a>, that company whose technology prints digital photos on the spot without ink? It's joined forces with toy-maker <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/tomy">Tomy</a> to make the xiao TIP-521, a digital camera with a printer built in. The xiao has a modest  five megapixel resolution, so we might wait and see how <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/">Polaroid's own Zink camera</a> turns out, but in either case we're stoked the tactile experience is back.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ZINK-Imaging-TOMY-Company-Ltd/story.aspx?guid={D5F2243B-BA86-43F1-8171-3FE3FDA6DCBA}">Market Watch</a>]</div>

Up until now, the words "Zink" and "Polaroid" were all but <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zink/">married together</a>, but a breakup fit for <em>The Hills</em> is about to go down courtesy of the all-too-promiscuous Dell. Over in the deep waters of the FCC, we're seeing a new Dell printer that utilizes the ink-free Zink technology. The PZ310 WASABI is yet another handheld printer that comes bundled with a single stack of printing paper, Bluetooth technology for printing from your mobile / BT-enabled PC, a USB port for traditionalists and a Reprint button for obvious reasons. As with everything in the FCC, the agency is never kind enough to hand over any preliminary pricing / release information, but it ought not be long now before <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Dell/">Dell</a> starts shipping these things without even <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/dell-silently-sneaks-out-23-inch-s2309w-1080p-lcd-monitor/">telling anyone</a>.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/dells-ink-free-zink-pz310-wasabi-printer-splashes-down-in-fcc/">Dell's ink-free Zink PZ310 WASABI printer splashes down in FCC</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:36:00 EST.

Hold up! Polaroid may not be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/polaroid-no-longer-does-polaroids/">dead</a> just yet! A trusty reader was nice enough to give us some hands-on time with his new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/zink-based-polaroid-pogo-makes-its-debut/">Polaroid Pogo Zink-based printer</a>. The diminutive device is clearly meant to give us that old-school insta-print social feeling with its 2 x 3-inch photos, but results were less than a barrel o' monkeys. Engadget reader David says that while the unit is "cute," there's nothing very instant about it as prints take at least 60 seconds -- not including connection in or Bluetooth pairing time. On the plus side, prints are sturdy and don't tear easily, but David couldn't resist burning one of them just to see how the thermal paper reacted. In the end, he says this is a decent gadget for those in the know, but you're not going to put this at the center of a party like you would an old-school Instamatic. Peep the gallery for David's hands-on goodness.<br /><br />[Thanks, David]<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/">Polaroid PoGo</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/#897441"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/07/pogo_04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/#897440"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/07/pogo_08_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/#897438"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/07/pogo_05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/#897443"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/07/pogo_12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/polaroid-pogo/#897435"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/07/pogo_10_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/polaroid-pogo-portable-photo-printer-hands-on-engadget-reader-s/">Polaroid PoGo portable photo printer hands-on, Engadget reader style</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:26:00 EST.

It's gone by a couple names since we first heard about it two CESs ago (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/zink-bringing-printers-to-your-handheld-gadgetry/">Zink</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/polaroid-and-zink-develop-digital-instant-mobile-photo-printer/">Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer</a>, etc.) but the first Zink-based product is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/12/zink-portable-printer-camera-shipping-late-2007/">finally on its way to buyers</a> as the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer. It'll run you $150 for the unit (and $10 per pack of 30 sheets), and can print up to fifteen 2 x 3-inch photos on its rechargeable battery from any PictBridge capable camera or over Bluetooth. PC Magazine took a peek and found each print took between a minute and a half to two minutes (the latter over Bluetooth), and felt the quality was adequate at best, albeit sufficient for such small prints. Still, it's no secret that your options are extremely limited when it comes to pocketable printers, even of the dye-sub variety (which Zink-based devices like the PoGo hope to put out to pasture).<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Well doesn't OutKast look silly now. The brand synonymous with instant film is killing off the Polaroid film format and attempting to reinvent the brand so it "lives on for the next 30 to 40 years." In the short term that means closing factories in Massachusetts, Mexico and the Netherlands, cutting 450 jobs, and breaking the hearts of hipster-photographers the world over. Obviously the concept of Polaroids was never going to be much more than a niche in the age of digital photos, and the Polaroid / Zink <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/polaroid-and-zink-develop-digital-instant-mobile-photo-printer/">Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer</a> is filling the instant development void left behind, but it's still sad to see a format with so much history and fond memories die, especially since Polaroid spends the majority of its time these days slapping its de-valued logo onto <a href="http://engadget.com/tag/polaroid">rubbish commodity electronics</a>.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/polaroid-no-longer-does-polaroids/">Polaroid no longer does Polaroids</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:25:00 EST.

Seeing Polaroid / Zink's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/polaroid-and-zink-develop-digital-instant-mobile-photo-printer/">Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer</a> at CES didn't come as a surprise or anything, but seeing it in action was indeed a treat.

We'd heard through the grapevine that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/zink-bringing-printers-to-your-handheld-gadgetry/">Zink</a> portable printer camera would be getting boxed up and sent out to eager customers late this year, but now it seems as though Polaroid has jumped in for a bit of the action. Realistically, you shouldn't be too surprised that the former king of instant photography is syncing up with Zink, and we must say, this whole partnership conjures up some pretty fond memories of shakin' snapshots in tense anticipation as we waited for the scene to develop. Nostalgia aside, the firm's Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer does indeed sport the Zink logo, and sure enough, it produces borderless 2- x 3-inch color prints instantly when fed images from a digicam or cellphone. We don't have a firmed up release date in front of us or anything, but <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/12/zink-portable-printer-camera-shipping-late-2007/">all signs</a> are pointing to soon -- very soon.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/polaroid-and-zink-develop-digital-instant-mobile-photo-printer/">Polaroid and Zink develop Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 14 Nov 2007 05:47:00 EST.

We're still not entirely convinced how effective <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Zink/">Zink</a>'s <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/zink-bringing-printers-to-your-handheld-gadgetry/">portable digital camera / printer combo</a> will be, but at least now we have an expected ship date. Zink has updated their site to say that their "digital polaroid" will be shipping in late 2007, which will hopefully mean a fall release date. Zink has also released some of the Integrated Digital Camera and Printer's specifications, which aren't altogether that interesting -- it has a 7 Megapixel CCD, 2-inch display, and SD memory card slot, just so ya know. All we care about is how good the printer is on this chunky combo unit.<br /><br />[Thanks, Piper]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/12/zink-portable-printer-camera-shipping-late-2007/">Zink portable printer camera shipping late 2007</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 12 Aug 2007 09:37:00 EST.

Vista's finally officially landed (we never thought we'd see the day!), Verizon dropped the bomb that they passed on the iPhone (and had another, smaller, Rev. A-launch related bomb), Palm killed the LifeDrive, and our own Ben Heckendorn built us a Wii laptop! All this and more in our last Engadget Podcast before our centennial celebration, enjoy!<br />

The sensational sounding product will initially be used to print 2- x 3-inch color photographs, and interestingly enough, won't require a single drop of liquid to form the images. In ZINK's system (another pic after the break), "images are created when a heated printer head comes into contact with a sheet of specialized paper," which is actually a polymer containing three crystalline layers. Varying temperatures and pressure points create the pixels of color, and just in case you figure out your latest printout doesn't showcase your eye color as well as you'd hoped, it's recyclable. The company's first offerings will likely be offered in a $99 standalone format or as a $199 camera / printer hybrid, while the snazzy paper will run you $19.95 for a pack of one hundred, but we're definitely holding off on this here invention until we see just how impressive (or not) the printed results actually are.
