7 Reasons Why You Need A Portable Polaroid Photo Printer

Remember when Polaroid instant cameras were the big thing? Then they went away for a while, and came back all boosted up with today's technology. Now there are several makes and models of them, and they're all a fun, great way to capture memories and get creative.

What we're really obsessed with, though, is another Polaroid product: The Polaroid ZIP mobile printer. Believe us when we say that you and everyone you know is going to want one. Need some convincing? Here are seven reasons why you need this portable photo printer.

1. Actual Photos: What good are all those awesome pictures if they just live on your phone forever? Much like the original instant camera, this portable Polaroid photo printer lets you create and print the kind of photos you can put in a scrapbook, send in a letter or stick to the fridge.
2. Editing Capabilities: We don't know about you, but it usually takes us about 14 tries to get a snap where no one is blinking, eating, talking or otherwise ruining a perfectly good take. We've also gotten pretty accustomed to editing the colors, lighting, sharpness, etc., of our photos before we let anyone else see them. This mobile printer comes with a download of the Polaroid ZIP app for iOS and Android devices, so you can do all the tweaks you'd like to perfect your photo and then print it in its perfect, enhanced-by-you form. You can even add emojis, voice recordings, text and more.
3. Better Ways of Printing: The portable photo printer works with premium zero ink papers — aka Zink paper. This means you never have to deal with cartridges running low, replacing cartridges or accidentally smudging a freshly printed photo. Zink photo paper is smudge-proof. When your printer runs out of it, simply replace the photo paper, and you'll be good to print more 2x3 full-color photos.
4. Stickers (!) - Did we mention Zink photo paper has peel-back sticky paper for extra fun? That means you can stick your photos on phones, notebooks, desks — you name it. If you don't want to take the sticker route with your pic, simply don't peel back the paper, and it's a photo as usual.
5. Display Possibilities: There are so many cool ways to hang, post and display Polaroid photos. One of our favorites is this set of LED photo clip string lights — it's like putting a mini-spotlight on each and every one of your pics.
6. Easy Everything: The Polaroid ZIP mobile printer is a snap to use. Plus, because it's so compact (it measures just 2.9 by 4.7 by 0.9 inches and weighs just 6.6 ounces) you can take it practically everywhere you take your phone. It prints quality photos in less than a minute and features its own rechargeable battery.
7. Sale Price: Right now, the Polaroid ZIP mobile printer is 22 percent off its regular full price. That means you can own it for just $124 — that's a savings of more than $35 for you.

What is they say about a picture being worth a thousand words? And can you really even put a price on capturing memories with friends and family? Nope, so go ahead and nab your Polaroid ZIP mobile printer today. You better act fast, though — we have a feeling this one will be gone in a flash!
