Polaroid’s inkless printer to launch
Jun
2008 Polaroid’s Zink (a.k.a. Zero Ink) printer, which we Craved about
back in January, has a launch date. Mark July for the pocket-sized
printer if you happen to be near a Best Buy or Target outlet on your
next US visit. It’ll probably mosey along to Asia eventually. But if
you can’t wait, the pint-sized PoGo could yield savings on those costly
ink cartridges as it employs an inkless technology. Not only that, with
US Customs now getting stricter on luggage weight, the palm-sized PoGo
will barely put a dent on baggage allowance at just 226.8g (8oz).According
to the specs, the PoGo outputs 2 x 3-inch prints with sticker backs at
60 seconds per full-color printout. It’ll work with camera-phones via
Bluetooth and digital cameras through PictBridge. The Zink photo paper,
which is waterproof, tear-proof and smear-proof, is expected to cost
33-40 US cents per print; US$3.99 for a 10-pack; or US$9.99 per
30-pack. The printer, which works both with a battery or charging
cable, will retail for US$149.
