Pogo printers and observations

**HopscotchCaren** · 09-01-2011, 06:43 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm newly registered and wondered if anyone had feedback from inspectors re the pogo printers.

I haven't got one yet - but general feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you all !!

Hi,

I have been minding for about 8 months, i have been using the pogo for about 4 months.

I think it is brilliant, it is cheap to run and very quick to get those instant photos for obs or daily diarys.

I would recomend it to anyone.

Hope iv'e been of some help.

Terri.

I've got a Pogo printer and it's brilliant

I use it for entry's into the children's LJ and for putting a photo every now and then into their daily diary

Sometimes I use an A4 sheet of paper for obs and I take photo's at different stages of an activity and put about 4 photo's on the sheet with comments under each picture (if you follow me)

I would say it's well worth investing in the printer, and don't forget to use the forum link if you are going to get one

I have a photo printer and a pogo that I use. The pogo is great for observations as I always have my phone to hand. Plus the photo printer cartridges are now £35+ and are getting a bit expensive for observations

I use a Pogo. I put the photos in the daily diaries and the LJs.

I was inspected in October and Ofsted really liked the fact that I used lots of photos.

What sort of feedback are you after? Quality of prints, size of prints??? I think Ofsted just like the fact that we use photos.

Linda.

I have got a pogo printer I use for my Learning Journals and I am really happy with them. Ok not the best quality, but they do the job.

Can't really see why it has got anything to do with Ofsted? unless they are prepared to pay the high cost of ink for my printer they will have to make do with the prints from my pogo

hi to you u all i am a new member. i had a new laptop and printer of earley yrs but would love a pogo never heard of one before they sound great.

i love my pogo, wouldn't be without it theyre fab!

i tend to take lots of photos then when i come to do my obs, out comes mr pogo and i print all the pics out that go with that obs (if any). if i left them to print later i know i will never get round to it

I already tried this Babs and it didn't work but I'm willing to try anything again!

I've just got a pogo and its fab. As well as using it for LJs, I took a pic of a child at play, stuck it onto a card to decorate and he took it home for mummy and daddy

Love my pogo & very happy now it works with my new phone

Have fab purple case for mine, my sis brought me them for christmas.

Only question I have is do you always have to plug it in when you use it? Charged mine yesterday, just gone to use today & battery is flat. Thought point of having a battery was so you didn't have to constantly have it plugged in.
