The Pandigital PANPRINT01 is a compact and lightweight printer (about the size of a desktop dvd drive) that uses ZINK technology (only Pandigital paper will work) to print photos at a resolution of 300x400 Dpi. I bought this printer to set up at my daughters 1 year birthday party so I can send the family home with the pictures we took. It's small size takes up less desk real estate than conventional printers and while it's supposed to be 'mobile' and 'portable' the lack of any network functionality means using an SD card or USB drive to print from. I couldn't print from a laptop so after putting pictures on multiple USB drives I finally got one to work (kept getting memory device not recognized) and was amazed at how quick it printed, about a minute, though at a fairly high cost, about 75 cents a photo. The photo center at my local store charges 39 cents at a much higher resolution plus the pictures will last longer than the 10 years guaranteed by Pandigital. Compared to other ZINK printers this one is king IMHO, but I still prefer an inkjet for all my printing needs, including photos!Read full review
I had a Pogo Zink printer and it was ok, but the prints are too small (2x3). From the reviews I read I was expecting this printer to be a little better, and the 4x6 size was what I was after. But this is a terrible printer. I mainly use Macs, and the drivers for this printer only work on 10.4 or 10.5, so be aware. The driver said it installed on 10.6 but doesn't really. So I had to use an older Mac to use the printer. And I could not get it to print an entire image no matter what (very limited) options I chose. Also, the part of the image it did print was never centered. The driver simply doesn't work correctly on a Mac. So if that's what you have avoid this device completely. Due to all these problems I pulled out an old netbook to try it out on Windows. The Windows driver will print a centered image, but it always seemed to crop some of the image. There seems to be no way to print an entire image unless it is in some exact resolution that the printer requires (whatever that is). And just as it was on the Mac (but *slightly* less so) the color accuracy was very poor. It prints darkened images, or slightly washed out, and not nearly as detailed as its specs suggest. I know this is not a professional printer, and was not expecting such. But this is very much unacceptable quality. If you are ok with polaroid instant film like quality then this is the printer for you. Otherwise do not waste your money. As proof that this is not aimed at any high quality prints, you can not print progressive scan quality jpegs (unless through a computer) (you can print from a card, USB stick or straight from a camera). I will likely never use this, and will likely donate it to Goodwill.Read full review
GREAT product!! I did not realize that I could make wallet sized pictures! It has 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4! This is perfect for party favors if you make your own frames and give everyone a picture of them at the party (exactly what I did for my daughters birthday party) or you could just hand them to coworkers. VERY CHEAP too Yes, I tried this product out plenty of times and many of my coworkers were impressed that not only does it not use ink but how easy it is to use. It is slow but like everything it takes time.
Love it....can print my pictures ASAP.

This is an AWESOME portable printer. Prints out high quality pictures. My only issue is the paper is really hard to find!
