Hammacher Schlemmer Wireless Smartphone Photo Printer
We've been familiar to Polaroid cameras wherein it can create photo printouts without the need for inks. Unlike the traditional way, instead of developing the film through the use of dye couplers, instant cameras contain all the necessary chemicals for the development process, all arranged on a single plastic sheet. It's fun to easily create printouts of photos and images in just a snap, that's the reason why Polaroid cameras became popular. 

Now, instead of using bulky devices like Polaroid cameras, we can now use our high megapixel cameras phones such as smartphones, iPhone, Android phones, and digital cameras that features wireless connectivity feature. But there's a twist, how are you supposed to do the same thing like a Polaroid camera does, creating pictures without the use of ink? Let the Hammacher Schlemmer Wireless Smartphone Photo Printer do the trick. 

A compact printer that requires no ink cartridges, capable of wireless connectivity and can boot without the need of a PC, that is the Hammacher Schlemmer Wireless Smartphone Photo Printer. It can produce printouts of a much better quality and resolution, plus the ease of wireless printing.

Talking about portability, this wireless photo printer does not offer a rechargeable battery, so taking it outside for a trip is not an option unless you can provide an outlet.
