Having an old old Polaroid all big & chunky I thought no way, I need a new one. The color is waterproof to an extent however, the paper may get soggy if immersed in water for a long time.My husband got this for me for Xmas, I think it was 2017, after someone took our pic using a newer version of a Polaroid camera at Bonnaroo & gave it to us right there on the spot! I was instantly hooked & it took me back to when we were younger & Polaroid cameras were a thing. The print is generated in a single-go and has a glossy coating which not only prevents fingerprint but also makes the color more durable.

However, this could be an extremely personal preference as I prefer more contrasty pictures.īarring that, the print on the paper looked solid. In a few pictures, the blues were overpowering in the shadows whereas all the printed images looked consistently faded and overexposed. I found the print quality to be quite mediocre. ZINK papers also have an adhesive back allowing them to stick on any surface.Ĭoming back to the printer itself, you get 5 ZINK papers from Xiaomi within the box. The printer then uses heat to imprint the color image on the paper. In this mechanism, the ZINK paper itself carries all the colors in the form of the Cyan-Magenta-Yellow layers.

Initially used in Polaroids, the ZINK papers are made for printers that do not require cartridges and can print in one go. The Mi Pocket Printer uses ZINK papers which is a proprietary technology developed by ZINK technologies.
