When we heard last year that Polaroid film would cease production, we nearly shed a tear. Granted we hadn’t used our Polaroid camera in 10 years, but the news did make us nostalgic for the early 90’s – back when we were the hit of every party, shooting off photos and handing them out to drunken friends.However, very soon we’re going to be back in business ‘cus we’re picking up a Wasabi – Dell’s pocket-sized, portable printer that instantly prints photos from most mobile devices onto cool little, adhesive-backed 2 x 3 inch prints.
All you do is send your images via a PictBridge, Bluetooth or wired connection to the Wasabi and in less than a minute, you’ve got a pretty decent full color photo to share or perhaps save for blackmail purposes down the line.
The actual printing process utilizes zero-ink technology (or ZINC for short), a process that uses heat to activate the crystals embedded in the special photo paper as it passes through the printer. The Wasabi comes in black, pink or blue and can be had for about $100, which includes a starter pack of photo paper. For more info, click to www.Dell.com.
