Polaroid's Snap Instant Camera Prints Photos Without Using Ink


Polaroid unveiled the pocket-sized Snap instant digital camera at IFA Berline 2015. It can print photos with a simple push of a button using Zink Zero Ink Printing technology.

It has a 10-megapixel sensor and a microSD card slot that can hold up to 32GB of storage. Best of all, the Snap can print out full color 2×3 inch (about wallet size) photos without requiring ink cartridges, toners or ribbons.

What is Zink Zero Ink Printing technology?

The Zink photo paper is made of composite material embedded with cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals and has protective polymer overcoats. A 50-pack of Polaroid’s 2×3 inch Zink photo paper costs about $29.99 on Amazon.

The Polaroid Snap has multiple capture modes, a photo booth app and a self-timer feature. The capture modes includes color, black and white and vintage. The photo booth app can take six pictures in only ten seconds. And the self-timer feature helps you seamlessly take selfies.

Before a photo is printed, the dye crystals are colorless — which makes the Zink paper look like ordinary white photo paper. Using heat activation, the Zink-enabled Printer colorizes the crystals. Each photo fully prints in slightly under one minute. And the Zink Paper is adhesive-backed so you can use the printed photos as stickers.

Offered by C&A Marketing, an authorized Polaroid licensee, the Polaroid Snap instant digital camera will be on display in hall 3.2 booth #218 at IFA 2015, September 4-9 in Berlin, Germany. The camera will be available in black, white, red and blue in Q4 2015 for $99.
