Polaroid PoGo: The Case of the Mobile Printer
Who says portable printers are impossible? Nowadays, it is now possible for one to print photos for themselves or their friends anytime, anywhere. This is now possible because of the presence of mobile printers like the Polaroid PoGo.
What’s all this hype about? Let us take a look at this promising new gadget from the inventor of instant photography, Polaroid. What does a PoGo have in store for its buyers? Would it be worth the money spent on such an investment? Let us find out now.
Small and Portable
First of all, the PoGo is a portable printer. It is not as big as the printers that you have at home. It is just as big as a standard-sized mobile phone. In fact, it can fit perfectly into the palm of your hand and disappear nicely into your pocket. That’s why you can use it anywhere you want to, and anytime you need to print some photos.
This is very ideal for people who are heavy into photography using mobile phone-mounted cameras. If anyone wants a copy of the photograph, the user can just whip out his PoGo from his pocket and print a copy for that person requesting.
Connectivity Features
The PoGo is well furnished with the necessary connectivity features to do its job well. Since its target users are mostly those with mobile phone cameras and iPod users, it needs to have connectivity options such as infrared or Bluetooth. Fortunately, the PoGo has a Bluetooth connection built into its small frame. Users can then make use of the Bluetooth to transfer the pictures from their cellular phones into the printer’s memory, and then print them. It’s easy as counting from one until three.
Aside from Bluetooth, the PoGo also has a USB drive in it. This is intended for those that want to connect their digital cameras and print out the pictures that they need to have right away.
Creativity
Aside from answering your printing needs for your cameras or mobile phones, the PoGo printer also allows for creativity. A picture is a picture; however, it can do a lot more things if you put it into the attention of most people that will appreciate them. One way to do is to use stickers!
The PoGo printer makes use of the ZINK Paper (TM) exclusively for its printing. The ZINK Paper (TM) is known for its use of crystals rather than printer ink cartridge. In fact, the name ZINK comes from the term “zero ink.” The ZINK Paper is also sticker paper; if you want to be creative and decorative, you can print some pictures and use it to adorn your books. It’s all up to you, and how creative you can be. The PoGo lets you do just that.
Price
The unit is surprisingly cheap. You can buy a PoGo printer for a price of just US$150. That’s not so hard on the pocket is it? Refill packs for the ZINK paper used by the printer are also cheap: you can buy 30 pieces for just $10.

I have the Pogo printer and I love it. It is so compact and the picture quality is pretty great. I also just purchased Adesso Zinc Albums that are custom to fit the Pogo pictures. The albums are really fun for any event. My sister just had one at her wedding, and my family members and I had so much filling the album up.
