Kodak Printomatic+ instant camera delivers Zink photos

The Kodak Printomatic Plus point-and-shoot instant camera has arrived with a 10 MP sensor and Zink photo printer, allowing photographers to capture and print photos anytime.

The built-in printer uses Zink photo paper, which is exposed using high-temperature pulses to change the state of its color layers. The final 2 x 3-inch print is made in one pass and is smudge-, tear-, and water-resistant.

The Printomatic Plus automatically prints the 10 MP digital photos taken and optionally stores them on a microSD card. The instant camera uses a fixed-focus 3.57 mm, f/2.8 lens and an automatic flash to capture photos day or night. A multicolor LED light around the shutter button informs photographers of the camera status.

Readers can buy the Kodak Printomatic+ camera at Amazon for $79.99 in black, blue, pink, or yellow. The camera comes with a USB charging cable, a starter pack of five Zink photo papers, and a quick start guide. The Zink photo paper costs about $0.49 per sheet and can be purchased on Amazon.
