the pocket-sized mobile printer connects either wirelessly or with a USB cable directly to any camera phone or digital camera and prints full-color 2" x 3" digital photos (size of regular business card).

The integrated digital camera/printer is a full featured digital camera with a built-in full color printer. Take digital photos like any other digital camera, review them on the digital camera's color display, and print just the ones you want. The digital camera with integrated printer prints full-color 2" x 3" digital photos.

ZINK is a breakthrough technology that produces on-demand color images and photos - without ink, ribbons or toner. The ZINK technology enables a new category of color printers and paper that work as a system to print a whole new way.
The key to this process is the patented ZINK paper, an advanced composite material with dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. ZINK paper is durable, colorful, and affordable.
Before printing, the embedded dye crystals are colorless, so ZINK paper looks like regular white photo paper. The ZINK printer uses heat to activate and colorize these dye crystals. The printing process is now radically simple. Just add paper and press "print". The result is high quality, long-lasting, durable, and affordable images.

The first ZINK-enabled products will be launched in late 2007 by our go-to-market partners. These products will enable printing where it has never before been possible, in the pocket of every camera phone and digital camera user.
