Yes, New York Fashion Week is over now but this new discovery (on my part) would have been so cool for the front row gang to take selfies with. (For all I know, they got them in gift bags somewhere…) The Polaroid Snap is a digital camera that can instantly print out a pic, without ink. How so, you ask? The trick is in the Zero Ink printing technology developed by a company called ZINK. Instead of using ink, the camera uses special printing paper which contains cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals under a protective coating. The ZINK-enabled printer inside the camera activates the crystals to create a color photo! The pics are tiny. Just 2 x 3″. How expensive is this fancy paper? You can get a 30 pack of 2 x 3″ ZINK paper for $19.99 at Amazon. It takes a 10-megapixel photo and has memory cards with a 32GB of capacity. It’ll be available in four colors — black, white, red and blue — in time for the holidays for $99.
