Polaroid CZA-10011B PoGo Instant Mobile Printer (Black)

Product Information

You’re now ready to start printing and this can be done in one of two ways. The first is to use a mobile phone or other Bluetooth compatible device. If you are using Bluetooth you have to first set up a partnership between the PoGo and your mobile. The exact method depends on your mobile but normally consists of turning on Bluetooth and the selecting ‘add Bluetooth device’ and entering the Passcode. Once a partnership is created you can then send or beam images from your phone to the PoGo and within a minute or so out comes a full colour photograph. Polaroid recently announced that they were to stop production of the instant film used in it’s range of instamatic cameras. When I first heard the news I was surprised that anyone was still using instant film and that they hadn’t stopped years ago. I later learned that there are a lot of business applications where this kind of film is used.

For more on what’s in the box and a demonstration of the PoGo in action take a look at Matt’s PoGo Video. Setting up is dead simple. Once you remove everything from the box you just have to install and charge the internal rechargeable battery. If you are a bit impatient you can start printing while the unit is charging. I bought this little printer to use with my SMASH book so I could take photos of my everyday life with my phone, print it instantly and SMASH it in my book. It has average image quality but pretty good considering the portability.If you've got a Marcus easy-access savings account or cash ISA, you can easily boost your interest rate to 4.75% – here's how. The only thing I find a little bothersome is that it takes longer than I thought it would to actually make the connection and start printing. But, if you follow the directions and wait patiently it works every time. Once you press the print button the activity light on the PoGo starts to flash while the image is processing, within about 20 seconds the printer starts to whir and slowly the photo inches it’s way out of the slot at the end. The whole process from start to finish takes around 60 seconds. Printing via Bluetooth is a little slower but this is probably down to the connection speed. Beauty Advent calendars are significantly pricier than chocolate ones, but they've become increasingly popular in the last few years as a way of bagging beauty products at a fraction of the normal cost. They often sell out early, but can also be heavily discounted later if they don't, so here's a round-up of some of the best I’ve seen. A higher-resolution digital SLR image of a gymnast flipping through the air, however, printed surprisingly well, complete with skin gradations and detail in the muscles and flying ponytail.

The output came out dry to the touch, so I didn’t have to worry about smearing. The printer’s software automatically scaled my images to fit the paper’s 2-by-3-inch area; as a result, the bottom or top of an image sometimes got chopped off–and there’s no way to control which part of the image appears in the final print.
