Polaroid CZA 20011B Instant Mobile Printer
I received my Pogo Printer and, with some trepidation (I'm not that techy), tried out the printing via bluetooth from my cell phone. Whoa! Worked first time. Instructions are easy to follow and I even found that my iMac can send files to the little Pogo via bluetooth so now I have two sources from which to send files (photos or art!).
There have been a couple of complaints about the print quality. People! This is a Polaroid product - instant print, not high resolution but I found the quality and the colors to be "spot on". The Pogo is so much fun to use and I am planning to incorporate the prints into my artwork, journals and collages. There are a few Flickr groups related to Pogo prints and I have joined one that swaps prints. Be sure and check those out.
The Zink paper is very affordable so you can keep on using this printer for a long time. My daughter has an iPhone with hipstamatic (holga filter) for her photos so I have sent her one to have fun with.
Definitely a must-have for crafters and artists and, yes, photographers.
This is a very nifty little gadget. The pictures are good quality, they don't bleed or run, and they're the perfect size for the wallet. Bad points: one charge lasts for about a pack of ten sheets. Still, a great little device.

First of all, this is really easy to use. I simply hooked it up to my camera, set my camera to browse photos and an option to print popped right up - it couldn't have been easier. The photos are pretty quick to develop and look great. I agree that the print quality is not perfect, but I actually like this - you can get kind of neat effects (nothing dramatic, but the prints have a particular feel to them, just like classic polaroid pics). If you are looking for precise realism, this isn't the printer for you. However, if you are looking for a fun way to give people a copy of the photo you just took or you want to create a collage or use these photos as part of an art project, etc., then I highly recommend the Pogo. I have thousands of photos stored on my computer but I almost never print them out because it seems like a hassle and gets expensive. However, I have already printed out 40 pogo pics and had a blast doing it!
BalasHapusWe were looking for a wedding guest book instant cam but since the only one I like would have to be shipped from Japan (Fuji Instax Mini) my daughter turned me on to this! And who needs "another" digital camera anyway. The pic quality is perfect...the size great for a guest book and even an 10 year old who will be operating can handle this (actually, a 10 year old could handle something more sophisticated than this). Everyone I show this too goes crazy when I snap a pic and print it out....but I have to buy more paper because I'm showing friends how cool it prints and being father of the bride...I have to have enough for the wedding!
BalasHapusWow, what a neat little printer. I charged it as directed, set up the blue tooth
BalasHapusconnection to my Motorola K1m, sent a picture from a micro chip in the camera which
had been loaded from my computer and out came a fabulous picture of me in Morocco.
The pic is mounted on magnetic media on my refrig. I travel a lot and wanted a tiny
printer so I can print out the pictures I take of the people I meet along the way
and give them a gift. Many adults and children have never seen themselves in a picture.
I highly recommend this nifty gadget. I do agree with the others that the power supply
is rather large for something this small.
I'm sure this is a nice product, but it WILL NOT work with an iPhone. I'm giving it 5 stars, as this is obviously not Polaroid's fault, but I wish there were some mention of the incompatibility somewhere.
