Kodak's Zink instant-print point-and-shoot — 5MP, f/2 lens, sticky-back 2x3in prints, microSD, 2017.
The Kodak Printomatic is a digital instant-print camera launched in September 2017 under the Kodak brand by licensee C+A Global. It combines a basic point-and-shoot digital camera with a built-in Zink (zero-ink) printer, and was positioned as a low-cost alternative to Fujifilm's Instax cameras and Polaroid's digital-print models.
It uses a 5-megapixel sensor behind a fixed wide-angle f/2 lens, with an optical viewfinder and a built-in flash. Photos print automatically as 2x3in sticky-backed Zink prints with no ink or film cartridges, and a switch selects colour or black-and-white output. Images can also be saved to a microSD card, and the sealed lithium-ion battery charges over USB, giving roughly 25 prints per charge.
It suits parties, gifts and casual snapshooting rather than considered photography: operation is essentially a single shutter button, and the camera can take another picture while the previous frame is still printing. There is no screen for reviewing shots, and print quality is basic compared with chemical instant film.
On the used market, check that the sealed battery still holds charge and accepts USB charging, that the printer feeds Zink paper without jamming or banding, and that the microSD slot reads cards. Zink 2x3in paper remains in production and inexpensive, so consumables are not a concern, unlike discontinued film formats.
