Get instant photos in a flash, reminiscent of our old Polaroid times with Zink Integrated Digital Camera/Printer. If you have been dreaming of being able to shoot, save, preview and print your everyday mementos exactly where it happens, then this innovative gadget will surely make your day.

Zink stands for “zero ink” which means that the camera does not really have printer ink or toner. What the technology does is bake the embedded dye crystals on the special Zink paper, that also comes in sticky-back, to provide you with instant photos. So it indeed works almost exactly the same as Polaroid, only improved in some technical aspects.

If the printer is what caught your attention about the Zink Integrated Digital Camera/Printer, than you might be surprised that the digital camera itself shall exceed your expectations. The gadget comes with a built-in 7 megapixels digital camera with 3x zoom and 2 inches LCD screen for viewing. This tool simply makes your everyday photography needs as easy as a few clicks on the Zink’s user-friendly navigation buttons. So after taking that candid shot with friends, you can just preview the photos together, and print a 2 by 3 inches full color copy for each of them. Aside from that, the Zink Integrated Digital Camera/Printer comes with an SD memory slot so you can still store photos if you want to reprint them in larger formats or simply e-mail or upload them to social networking websites.

Still, the question is: does the 7-megapixel digital camera suffice the more advanced user’s photographic standards? It probably does not, in terms of performance on a more technical note. This tool is specifically made for the everyday family and friends photo ops. With its very affordable price tag, Zink Integrated Digital Camera/Printer delivers exactly what it promises.
