Smartphone Case Prints Instant Photos

Prynt's new crowdfunding project offers users the ability to instantly print photos without leaving their smartphone. For this, it is proposed to purchase a special "case". By inserting a smartphone into it and taking a photo, you will immediately receive a paper copy of the photo measuring 7.6 x 5 cm (resolution 1120 x 620 pixels). Thanks to the use of special Zero Ink photo paper, the device does not need ink.

The device is compatible with iPhone 5, iPhone 6, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 phones. This is possible thanks to the modular system. The phone is inserted into a small docking station, which is then connected to the main unit.

In addition to photos, the project offers another entertaining function. When taking photos, the Prynt app actually records a short video that is sent to the cloud. Then it will be possible to bring the finished photo to the smartphone’s camera, and the application, recognizing this photo, will offer you to play the previously recorded video.



For the first hour of working on Kickstarter, Prynt scored the required amount of $ 50,000, and is currently approaching the $ 250,000 mark, given that there are still 34 days left until the end of the project. Apparently, he will be able to compete in fees with record projects crowdfunding platform.

All inexpensive offers for backers have already ended (a copy of the device and 10 sheets of photo paper for $ 50). Now this kit can be purchased for $ 99 - the cost that the creators plan to install after its official release in the fall of 2015. 50 sheets of paper can be purchased for $ 25.

Apparently, in our digital age, people have missed the physical things that you can hold in your hands. In September, Polaroid announced their return with an original camera that also allows you to print photos (the device is scheduled for release in early 2015).
