Here's the Polaroid website for the printer: http://store.polaroid.com/product/0/425422/GL10/_/Instant_Mobile_Printer

Update on 3x4 ZINK paper: looks like you can buy it here http://t.co/YfutvUa
The problem is that it only ships to the USA. Hopefully they have a better distribution soon because I'm running out of paper!

is there a way that you can take off the border and just have a picture without the polaroid frame?

[tiana33]

@sarahssyoon Yep you can do that just by pressing a button. See 0:44-1:00.

hi tiana. just wondering if you have tried printing off a digital camera as well as your cellphone? i assume there would be a huge increase in photo quality.

awesome review. i'm planning to travel for 9 months and i'm planning to take one of these with me so i can keep up a travel journal with pictures from my canon s95 as i go.

@thelataliana I haven't tried printing directly from my digital camera, but I have tried printing photos from my computer that I got off my digital camera. There is definitely an increase in photo quality.

Great idea taking one with you while you travel! It'll definitely make for a fun scrapbook.

may I know why it doesn't need any ink?? I am just curious. I mean how can it doesn't need any ink?? when It's need to be print, then how the photo can print??

[tiana33]

@EpikRadiO It's kind of awesome actually - the paper's got colour crystals inside it, and the correct colour is shown by applying heat.

I love the Lady Gaga poster you have in the background! I have the same one, haha. I'll probably be getting the polaroid GL10 next week.

Really great review! very clear and concise, and I agree it seems that the iphone is the phone to have and its a bit ridiculous that its not supported
