Pogo printers and observations

[joannetalbot]

Hello all, just joined the forums today, looking forward to "meeting" you all!

I've been using a Pogo printer for a few months now and it's definitely made my childminding life a lot easier! It's so easy to print off photos and stick them onto daily diaires/journals etc. I agree, quality isn't great but it's certainly sufficient to provide evidence for obs etc! I was getting in a right pickle having to download photos from my camera onto my laptop which seemed to take ages but with the pogo i can print them off either daily/weekly, whenever it suits really.

Amazon are the cheapest at the moment i think £17 for the printer and £8.80 for 70 sheets of paper.

You can use it with both, not that I've tried it with my camera yet

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.

We have found this too, it does not seem to hold a charge, but still a great wee tool to use for evidence pics

I'm very interested in any replys you get, as I have put off getting one, but wonder if its the way to go ?

I use a pogo in my setting quick and instant photo's Love it !

Look on the Internet for a good price got mine from Amazon good luck I'm sure you will find it useful.

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

Hi a bit confused about these printers, you mention a4 sheeets but thought paper was 2" x 3" ? Want to find an alternative solution for printing obs pics
at the moment as my ink is so expensive.

Thanks

I think Karen sticks a few photos onto a sheet of A4 for her LJs.

I did prefer the look of my ljs with bigger pictures but the pogo ones are fine and so much easier..and cheaper of course.
