Just reading my March 'The Engineer' and there is an article on the new Polaroid pocket printer. This device does not use ink but has a 'crystalline dye' in the paper which the company refers to as an 'amorphochromic' material. Bascially heat melts the amorphochromic dyes in the paper and hey presto colours!
It will work via blue tooth, wi-fi etc.
A 2" x 3" picture will take 30 seconds to print!
Currently called the Polaroid Zink it is due for release by Christmas.
Seems a great product, but why?
This reason:
'In 2008, the projections for multi-megapixel camera phones say that the number of those that will be sold, just in this year, is more than the total number of cameras of any type that have ever existed'!
Staggering fact, so if you want to make a packet get in on the act!
Regards
Chris
PS it is the 10 - 23 March 2008 edition of The Engineer
Good lord, the mind boggles.
And there's me worrying becase I can no longer find black and white films for my ex-Wehrmacht war surplus camera!

Thanks for that ...I had not seen an Engineer magazine for ages so your post made me go and look to see if they have a web site ...which they do have ...and it is really interesting, lots of good articles to read through.
The article you referred to is available to read online Here <<<. The references to "Polaroid" brought back memories ...does anyone remember how exciting it was to have a camera that could produce instant photographs.... and now it looks like they are planning a digital camera with a built in printer.... nothing new under the sun then
The Engineer Online also has another article about a new high tech electric bike that could be interesting for us motorhomers.
I have added "The Engineer" to the other 9999 or so favorite links that I have on my computer

Thanks for finding that, I have put it on all my other forums.
Wonder if anyone else has put the same info on lots of different forums? Quite interesting seeing the different reactions depending on the hobby/point of the forum!
