Po Go printers

[little miss chatterbox]

Does anyone use the PO GO polaroid printers for their learning journeys/obs?

I saw them in who minds yesterday with a minder saying she had used one and it saved loads of money on ink with printing the photos out. Plus they are instant and also self adhesive.

I wondered about getting one but don't know much about them.

For those of you who don't know http://www.polaroid.com/products/0/266910 they are mobile printers and doesn't use ink but you do need to use specialist paper.

However the paper is around £10-12 for 70 sheets (so am assuming 70 photos)

but obviously you wont waste your printer ink on the photos, they are a handy size for obs 2x3 inches and you can do them straight away (whereas I usually leave them until I have loads to do and get really behind!)

Would love to hear anyone's opinions if you've used them

Thanks

I have got one and love it, the only annoying thing is i cant use it with my mobile even though it said my phone was compatible it is not. but i can use it with my camera:)

[katickles]

Glad you have asked this as I also saw them advertised in the magazine & thought it sounded good.

I will keep my eye on this thread to see what people think :)

[funfunfun]

Can you use this with any camera looks really good ......thinking of investing in one myself to save ink on the printer

( not that im a gadget freak on anything ) :laughing: :laughing:

[beccas]

i also saw this and thought what a good idea it was might get myself one

[funfunfun]

Also where do you get the paper from for it ???

[claire bear 72]

The pogo very good......however pictures quite small and paper expensive!! Boots have them I bought my dd one for Xmas the paper was on offer 3for the price of 2 so good deal!!!!:)

[Pipsqueak]

hmmm I saw this in my who minds.......

[nikim]

ive got one and its excellent , i got mine from ebay £30 new, i also get the paper from ebay too:clapping:

[The Juggler]

do you think it's actually cheaper to buy the paper than to buy printer ink cartridges. I was wondering when I read the article in who minds.

[little miss chatterbox]

I'm not sure! I have been trying to work it out! But I have just bought ink which cost me £30 and that replaces the ink I bought 3 months ago for another £30.
So that's £10 a month. I have found the paper for £10 for 70 sheets and I don't think I will print out 70 photos a month (i might do?!)

I'm really not sure if it will be cheaper or not!

[beccas]

i think in the long run this will be cheaper may invest in this as part of my capital funding going to look on eby now

going on ebay for about 24.99 free p&p paper 11.99 free p&p so not bad really

theres a couple on there with printer and paper one strating at .99p another ending in 22hrs 9.99 no bids. so def worth a look

or play.com has them for £24.99

[patevans]

I send off for my photos when I have around 100 but they dont cost no where near £10 so although I want one it will work out more expensive for me :(

[fridaysoff]

I saw the Who minds too. I get behind with the printing of pictures or get them printed and then have a stack of trimming and sticking to do. I think this might save me time - probably not money. I'm not sure how long it will last but not too expensive and worth a try - we should get NCMA to get us a deal on bulk paper purchase - sounds like everyone is interested!

.. just need to make sure LO's don't get hold of it and post stuff in it! (JOKE!):)

[Kes]

I have been reading the reviews on amazon it sounds quite good but it does say the paper has a use by date of two months in someones review. So depends wether you think you would print 70 photos in that sort of time frame.

[Hebs]

have ordered one :clapping:

[LOOPYLISA]

Hubs has just ordered me one too :thumbsup:

[Polly2]

Can you select which pictures you want to print off or do you have to print everything on your camera?

[patevans]

oh I want one :crying:

[solly]

Polly2 you can just select which pictures you want and dont have to print them all out:)

[gailee]

i brought one last year off ebay i love it!! but it dosen't work on all phones so please check b4 u buy!!! Amazon is the cheapest photo paper i've found so far

I saw pogo on the internet at xmas for £17.99 i can't find the site now:panic:

[MrsT333]

something else to add on to my wish list!!!
they look fab

[Paws]

Some of the prices quoted on here are crazy! Don't pay that sort of money! I bought mine from play.com You need to keep an eye on the site as the price changes daily depending on their stock. Mine was £19.99 and it was the BEST £19.99 I have ever spent! I take photos with my mobile (which is really old so I am suprised that some don't work with it!), then bluetooth the photo staright to the PoGo - voila! It is brilliant! Paper is not too expensive either as long as you shop around on the web.
