That's the old Polaroid Zink printer.

It's not new but they'll rebrand, rename to move it out.

I did a little calculating on costs.

1,020 prints on the Wasabi = 630.66 bucks or about 62 cents each.

1,020 prints at Walgreens (web based) = 193.8 or about 19 cents each.

Polariod Zink printer

Does zink then own the product?
Any good reviews on how well they work. I guess they did not do to well under the other name.

That question is interesting.

Polaroid (the company) imploded by missing the sea change to digital.

They also had other issues. To scape a few more bucks they started to sell their name for use on products they didn't create or make.

Zink however is a variation on the real Polaroid technology. But I digress here. You can research that with google and the words ZINK, ZINK POLAROID and so on.

This is a rather expensive way to print.

Yes you are right it would be expensive. Was looking at when your out of town it would be great to print the pic and give it someone right away. What is email for.

It may very well be more expensive, but you are paying for the convienence.

In addition, you point out prints at Walgreens being cheaper, while this may be true it is an unfair comparison as this is not competing with professional storefront photo developers, you should be comparing the cost to print at home with a printer, the total cost including ink, where this product does not need ink it is likely looking like this may actually be an even cheaper more mobile alternative than home photo printing.
