Most people have tons of photos just sitting in their hard drives, and over time, that number doubles taking in so much space and slowing down your PC.
Why Bother Printing?
Photo owners go through the rigmarole of saving, storing and backing up their photo albums, but they never quite get around to printing the best of their snaps. Why not save yourself from the heartache of losing these precious memories by finally investing in a decent digital photo printer?
To narrow down your search, here are our picks from the plethora of digital photo printers out in the market today.
The Polaroid Zip Instant Printer
The Polaroid Zip fits right into your backpack, well even better, it fits right in your pocket. This nifty zero-ink printer caters to Instagram junkies and the rest of the social media market. Just take out your smart phone and voila! Instant print-outs!
But the PolaZip is more than just a trendy gadget, it’s actually quite versatile for something so small. In fact, it functions very much like the average desktop photo printer. Users can adjust photo settings such as brightness and contrast, and even choose 12 different filters prior to printing. Further more, the Polaroid Zip has that built-in feature that can send tweens into a printing frenzy, kids can create personal photo collages, add stickers and emojis to their photos while parents, on the other hand, can print business cards, invites and QR codes on photos.
Epson PictureMate Charm
After several successful predecessors, the Epson PictureMate Charm is still the popular one among portable digital photo printers because of its print speed and low cost per photo.
The lunch-pail body design is simply adorable, this is where it’s obvious charm lies, but a closer look would also reveal that the Epson PictureMate Charm is quite a beast in terms of print capacity and photo quality. You don’t even have to worry about smudgy fingerprints or scratches when it comes to the Charm’s photo output, the prints hold up pretty well being handled around. In fact, the Charm’s print output is legendary, with Epson attesting that any photo printed on the PictureMate Charm will last 2 centuries if kept in a photo album. That promise of print longevity alone is a prize in itself.
The Selphy CP910
The Selphy CP910 is Canon’s first 4-by-6 digital photo printer. It can print directly from any mobile device running on Windows RT, Android, and iOS. You can expect sharp colors from this thermal-dye printer which comes with a menu of image filters and color correction keys. It also gives you the option to print with or without borders on special paper.
Know What You Need
If you’re always taking photos with your iPhone, getting a digital photo printer is a good option especially if you’re constantly giving away photos to relatives and friends. But what’s unmatched by a portable digital printer is the variety of paper types, print enlargements and sizes that’s usually available from large-scale digital photo printers like Walgreens Photo or FedEx Kinko Office and Print Services. So know what you need and get the most for what you pay for!
