Creativity and customization
The applications associated with portable photo printers offer very useful features for beautiful photos: retouching, filters, frames, stickers, etc. You can thus personalize your photos before printing, to add your own special touch! This is ideal if you then want to put these images in albums, journals or scrapbooks for example.
Immediate sharing
Are you with your loved ones and want to capture the moment? The photo printer allows you to print your photo on the spot and share it immediately! The memory is thus much more striking than simply sending it digitally. These little photos can also make a difference at important events, such as weddings, birthdays or parties.
Understanding the Technology Behind Your Kodak Photo Printer
To offer you a stunning photo printing experience, Kodak has invented 4PASS technology. It is also known as thermal sublimation. Previously, ZINK (“Zero Ink”) technology heated dyes embedded in multi-layer paper to reveal the image. Here, the printer, still inkless, transfers the colours by heating the paper, which contains no pigment. This operation is like a real magic trick, since the photo appears in just a few seconds!
4PASS technology gets its name from the four passes the sheet makes through the printer. These steps allow the application of four layers: cyan, magenta, yellow and then the protective varnish. The result is a very nuanced print since the device is capable of reproducing more than 16 million colours. The varnish, meanwhile, protects your image from humidity, dust and fingerprints, for greater durability.
So you can enjoy superior quality printing, in just moments, with this pocket-sized device. It could not be simpler to use: just refill your printer with the cartridges available on the Kodak website. Slide out the used cartridge and replace with the new one.
