Zink and Polaroid have collaborated to come up with a portable printer which lets one print images and documents without ink or an ink cartridge! Hence the iPod equivalent size!

Without an ink cartridge, a printer can be reduced to the size of an iPod or smaller, said CEO Wendy Caswell. The Zink system “can be embedded in any device,” she said.

The first line up of printers which would use the Zinc technology would product 2 x 3 inch photographs. This feat is possible as the images in the Zinc printers are created when a heated printer head comes into contact with a sheet of specialized paper. Zinc printers should retail for around 100 bucks and one would need to shell out $199 for the camera printer. Paper for the Zink items will run around $19.95 for a pack of 100 sheets.
