    Default Pogo printers

    I keep reading how good they are and have just seen that Amazon have them on offer for £39 at the moment. Are they worth the money?

    I like the idea that you don't have to clue the photo's into the learning journeys as some of the glue has seeped through on a couple of my photo's so they need to be re-printed.

    Can you print different sizes - if not what size in inches are the photo's? At the moment I print wallet size ones (not sure of the exact size) and I'd like to keep to a similar size.

    Is the paper really expensive for it and can you only buy it online?

    I've just bought one and it's my new favourite best toy

    It only prints one size - you put the paper in and out it comes - it's really easy. Then you take the backing off to stick it down.

    I bought paper from Play.com after advice from other members - I got a lot but it's only small to store.

    They are def worth having. So so much easier than using a PC & Printer. The pics are approx 3" x 2" so perfect for diaries / LJ's.
    I used to be able to buy the paper from my local Maplins but they've now stopped selling it in the shops and you need to go online to get it. I must admit I'm a little worried about the future of them after all the problems with Kodak. I'm just hoping they don't decide to discontinue making them and the paper.

    Thanks!

    I'm feeling cheesed off this afternoon and felt the need for some retail therapy so I've just ordered one from Amazon (via the forum!) for £39.19 and ... it's pink!!

    I've also ordered some paper as they had 70 sheets for £10.99.

    I'm £50 worse off now but I can't wait for it to arrive and get printing!!

    I love mine, it has been so easy to stick a little pic onto a daily diary or a learning journal observation, and it doesn't need any extra ink to buy.
    The only thing I find a nightmare is the battery life, about 6 prints and it needs charging. If I'm at home printing then I plug it into the mains.

    I'm off to pick mine up from the post office today woo hoo, can't wait!!!

    Miffy I wondered if it was compatable with all cameras and was given the impression that you could use your USB cable, the one you use to hook your camera up to a computer, to hook it up. I'll have a look when I pick it up later

    Thanks. I can't find a list anywhere of which cameras it's compatible with so assume it will work on all.

    as long as you have a usb cable, the pogo is compatible with all cameras.

    the only thing i know the pogo doesn't work with as an iphone!.
