Dell Wasabi

By swwosh
Ok, i've found something very interesting on the internet a few days ago. It's called the Dell Wasabi. It's a portable printer that runs on lithium ion rechargable batteries.. (i think)... but what amazes me is that it doesnt need ink to print the photos!!! It uses special paper that has been pre-treated with hidden inks. As the paper passes through the printer head, the required colours are activated through the transfer of heat and the result is a glossy, clean photo with no smudges, fading, or curling. This technology is called Zero Ink, or ZINK for short. The size of the photos printed out are about credit card size.



Another interesting thing is that it has Bluetooth 2.0 built into it. That means you can instantly send photos from your phone through bluetooth and print it out. From the video review i saw, it takes about 40 seconds for a print. The battery lasts about 15 prints if i'm not mistaken and quality wise is just so so. I checked on the Dell Australia website, and the printer itself costs around RM600. For the ZINK paper, there isnt a price for it yet. But probably a bit more expensive than ur usual photo paper.


Overall, I still think that the Dell Wasabi is a great, cute lil printer mainly aimed at teenagers, who dun realli care bout print quality, and wants compact photos on the go.
