i got mine but cant get it to work...

do you need to change the file settings on your camera???

I didnt need to change any settings, just turned the camera on, connected and selected the print option.

The picture quality is pretty reasonable (and Im a bit finickity where thats concerned as I managed a phot lab for 15 years!) and perfectly good for learning journies :thumbsup:

The pics are 2x3" so pretty small but that just means they fit on my obs form better :D

The lady at my local toddler group brought hers in today, so we all blue toothed her pictures of our LOs and they printed straight off.

They are good quality for a little printer and the right size for my obs sheet!!

Going to order one at the end of the week. Has anyone brought theirs recently on a good deal??

Just charge it up,pop the paper in, turn on, attach your camera and turn on or turn your phone bluetooth on to find it, select the pic you want and choose the print option. My phones not compatible but that isnt a problem as the camera is rubbish on it anyway so I use my canon :thumbsup:

It's red and came form Sendit.com about £28.

After downloading the instructions and watching clips of how to use the pogo on utube I have decided it must be faulty!!

I got mine from Misco.co.uk £19.99

aparently the pics will last 1000 years (according to one vidoe i watched) and they even if they get wet they dont fade/smudge etc :clapping:

I got mine from Misco. I paid £45 with postage and got 2 packs of 70 papers. The papers come in sets of 10 because I was worried about having to open 70 at once and them spoiling before use!

It's fab!

The instructions that came with it are a waste of time, I had to google instructions then google for my camera manual!

I got there in the end, but it took a long time. I think one of the problems I was having was that I hadn't let it charge up enough. You really need to charge it for a few hours before attempting to play! :blush:

Mine is now working with my large Fuji posh camera and my little Fuji snappy. I can't get it to work with my LG cookie but thats not a problem because it takes useless photos anyhow!

Mindee went home with 2 photos stuck in their diary list night......parents will be shocked as I'm useless with photos normally!

I have just ordered mine - with the shipping being 4.95 I thought I would add a couple of packs of paper. so now I can print 150 photos off. Will be busy. Will tell my dh after he has finished his lovely home cooked dinner that I have just spent 47.00 - how does everyone else break the news to their other half?

You maybe able to get your LG cookie to work with the pogo printer by cahanging the photo file names to something simple, apparently the LG phones dont recognise all the dots and dashes. I have tried this with my Renoir and it now works a treat.

I have printed lots out today and written dates on the back just now need to stick them in their books

like miss mopple i don't! althoughi have been telling him about the pogo, so will probably show him ( and get him to get it working LOL !!! not very technical me! )

he doesn't moan (much!), as i say its my business and up to me what i spend on it! he does ask where i intend to keep things though ... but i explained the pogo is 'tiny' and will not be noticed ;)

11-02-2010, 01:05 PM
got mine today too!!!!

I always tell my hubby what I'm buying because we have a joint bank account

but he knows how stressed i am with the paperwork so anything that makes life easier with the paperwork is ok with him!

It's a digital printer that will print direct from your phone without a cable or your camera. It's very small and compact, ideal for carrying round with you.

I received mine today (only ordered yeserday afternoon) started charging it straight away and printed one photo for each mindee that I had on my phone.

We made valentine cards with coloured hearts on the front and then inside I wrote a little message and then stuck the photo of them at the bottom. I gave them each a crayon and they scribbled all over the paper and photo, to add another unique touch. One parent txt me this evening thanking me for the card.

I love my pogo

You have all convinced me. I have just ordered one, via a link from this site

'Doesn't cost you any more but helps with the running costs of the forum'.

I paid £22.57 plus £4.49 for a 30pack of paper.

I will have to hide it i convinced my husband to buy a laser colour printer last month because of the high cost of inks for my ink jet.

Whoops.

I am resisting the urge to buy one as I already have a small photo printer which I can choose to print 4 pics/paper. Just put in camera card, choose and print - I love it:thumbsup:

Did order more paper for it from amazon though when I was looking at pogo:blush:

I thought my ears were burning :D , yes that's right any link to Amazon on here will help the forum and the prices are just the same as going directly to Amazon. The links to Amazon on the forum are especially encoded to register that it has come from this site and therefore the forum gets a small commission and we use it to help with the running costs.

If any one is interested in helping the forum like this and other ways see here:

I got mine today and have just printed off using bluetooth from a blackberry and the photo is really good, it was so easy. Unfortunately the usb port on my cm camera is far too small for the lead so have to go hunting for one in my house somewhere, but the quality is so good with my phone that I may give up taking my camera and use my phone which i always have with me!

Any camera that you can put a usb lead in i think, but it does say something about pictbridge, cant try mine as the usb port is too small on my camera, so cant confirm,(someone will soon I am sure), but it is brilliant with my phone.
