Mini onsite printer?

[dnp]

Hi All,

I've always shot medium format film onsite with Polaroid backs so that I can do quick prints, check exposure etc... Now that I'm moving to digital, I'm wondering if there's a decent very-small printer option available that works with the M8 and Canon's... I'm waiting patiently for the "Zink" printers to become available... In the meantime, is there a very small wireless or USB printer that can print directly from a memory card or camera?

Looking at pictures on screen isn't an option, as I sometimes need to leave comp prints with the customer or file them - plus, I like being able to see a small 3x5 or 4x6 image in print to write notes etc...

Thanks for any info,
-Dan

Try the new Zink-based printer from Polaroid, here. It doesn't use ink; rather, the paper has 3 emulsion layers of micro crystals that change color and melt into dye when heated by the print head. This first model is designed to work with digital cameras.

Dear Dan,

Take a look at the HP A618. Brilliant. And you can get a battery for it too.

Cheers,

The Zink makes 2x3 prints.
