ZINK Expands Zero-Ink Paper Sizes
Posted in: printer, Today's Chili
When Pandigital announced the first ZINK-enabled printer capable of making 4-by-6 “zero-ink” photo prints, it was a foregone conclusion that ZINK would introduce new paper sized to match. The first generation of ZINK-enabled devices–which include the Dell Wasabi PZ310 Mobile Photo Printer, Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer, and the Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera–were limited to 2-by-3-inch prints on ZINK paper, which uses embedded dye crystals that turn color when heated in lieu of liquid ink or toner.
ZINK has since introduced photo paper in both 3-by-4 and 4-by-6 sizes. ZINK Imaging considers 3-by-4 the ideal size for mobile printing from pocket-sized handheld devices, with 4-by-6 targeted for home printers. That said, the Pandigital Portable Photo Printer can output 4-by-6 photos without the need of a computer, so consumers can bring the printer with them. ZINK says that additional paper sizes will be forthcoming.
