CES 2015: Polaroid’s portable Zip printer offers fast, ink-free photo prints from Android or iOS

Polaroid’s Zip mobile printer is a compact, ink-free way to print a photo from iPhone or Android phone, and it appears to be an updated version of the PoGo printer from several years back, although it's currently unclear if the changes are more than skin deep.

Polaroid’s app has an array of editing tools and filters - to get the photo wirelessly to the printer via Bluetooth or NFC, and the image prints out within 60 seconds. It’s a throwback to the iconic and utterly classic cameras Polaroid produced in its heyday, and in more ways that one. Here, it’s all about the paper, which has cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes built in that are activated when the printer heats up. The result is a quality, smudge-free print - and better yet, no need to replace cartridges.
