I had a Pogo printer for many years and this was replaced with a Polaroid Zip in 2020. The print quality on recent prints was quite dire, not sure if this was the printer or the paper. It is also not printing on the whole paper, leaving an unprinted stripe on one side.
I quite like the retro faded nostalgic look of the prints, but I would prefer to have the choice to print better looking prints, or prints that look like they are forty years old.
I have ordered some new paper, but if the printing quality hasn’t improved then I think I might buy a new printer. The one I have is five years old, so it is getting on a bit.
I generally use the Polaroid Zip to supplement and enhance note taking, more than using it to just print photographs. I also like the fact that it is battery powered so I can take it to conferences and meetings, though I don’t do that as much these days as I use to. The fact the images are stickers is a bonus as well.
The Zink paper technology appears to be the de facto standard for small print printing these days. I did like the small HP 6”x4” printers they use to do, which was about twenty years ago now.
Well, we’ll wait for the paper and wait and see what happens.
