Polaroid unveils Hi-Print 2 × 3 pocket printer

Polaroid has introduced a new compact Hi-Print 2 × 3 printer that allows you to quickly print photos from your smartphone (Bluetooth 5.0 is used for connection). In the proprietary application for iOS and Android, you can not only check the format before printing, but also add filters, stickers or text.

The size of the photos is 5.3 × 8.6 cm, the pictures are protected with a waterproof film. The back side is adhesive: the photo can be directly pasted into an album or placed on the wall. No batteries are needed: the device is charged via micro USB, and the printer can print 20 pictures from one charge. Excluding the Hi-Print 2 × 3 paper cartridge, it weighs 225 g and measures 175 x 101 x 46 mm.

This is a dye sublimation printer - that is, it doesn't need ink cartridges, but it needs special paper to work properly. The Polaroid 20-frame cartridge costs € 16.99 (≈ £ 1,510), but you can use any size you like, as long as it is suitable for sublimation printing. For example, on AliExpress you can

buy analog from Cartridge King. With promo code LETOLETO 20 sheets cost 1,148 rubles with free shipping to Russia.

In Europe, the novelty was estimated at 99.99 euros (≈8 900 rubles). For 129.99 euros (≈11,570 rubles), you can order a starter kit - it includes not only a printer, but also 40 sheets of photo paper. Now the new model is sold only in the official online store Polaroid, which does not ship to Russia, will go on sale at retailers in September.
