The GL-10 is what I've been waiting for all these years.
After searching for an instant photo solution, and no matter what I tried, I was never quite happy. I own 5 working polaroid cameras (3 land cameras, an SLR-5 Macro onestep and a Graflex XL RF with a packfilm back), 2 pogo printers with the 1st gen ZINK system, and an HP A640 instant printer. None of them make me remotely as happy as this printer does. The packfilm cameras? Great film, giant cameras, spotty usage success with semi-automatic annoyances, lots of waste and the prints need to dry. Forget about ambient nightlight and expect to lose a couple shots per pack with loading issues. Pogo? Gah....party favor stickers were nice, but crap for battery life and Colors McRudderson was the result on your best day. The HP instant printer was HUGE, ink was a drag, and the quality is so-so after all that work anyway.
The GL-10 is what I've been waiting for all these years.
Leaps and bounds improvement in quality over the pogo. Still talking mid-range quality, but it's way better than the film the impossible project is putting out for it's one step cameras (or the unusable expired original film...."soft tone" my taint!) and considering the tradeoff size/toner/paper for any of the other battery powered options (HP, epson, canon selphy, etc), the pixels/per/hassles ratio is way better than anything else out there. The best business card you could ask for is this in the back pocket of your jeans with a felt tip pen and a USB cable. The only thing I could compare it to from a "WOW HOW DID YOU DO THAT----THAT'S AWESOME" factor is the land cameras, but considering their use record, I'll take a 70-75% quality 100% of the time compared to 100% quality 40% of the time any day of the week. As I said,
The GL-10 is what I've been waiting for all these years.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually considering buying the camera that's coming out soon just because I use the printer so much (40 pictures in one weekend of travel meeting new friends) that I'd just as soon not have the hassle of hooking the cord up to my pocket SD-1400. Anyway, I think you get my drift.
Note to Zink: make 3x4" paper that has a sticky back! That would be great. That is all.

I like the Polaroid GL10 Mobile Printer because it gives me an easy way to print photos from my cell phone or digital camera. It is good for printing from a phone using Bluetooth or from a PictBridge camera. It's very cool to be able to print a photo on the go, without the need for a USB cable.
Plus, Polaroid have a free mobile app you can download. This app lets you edit your photos, then send them to the GL10. There are more apps set to be released in the near future. If you already own a Blackberry, iphone, Android or other Windows-compatible phone, the Polaroid Grey Label GL10 makes the perfect partner.
You can also print photos off your desktop PC, laptop or netbook, using a Bluetooth connection.
You can still connect your phone or camera to the printer's standard USB port, of course, but it's not as much fun as using a Bluetooth connection.
The printer is a compact, holiday-friendly size. It measures about the same as your average paperback book. It is light enough and tough enough to throw in with the rest of your luggage, and not have to worry about breaking it.
Setting up the printer is simple. All you need to do is plug in the power source, load the ZINK paper, and you're good to go. No pesky software installation is necessary.
The printer needs to be charged just like a laptop does. A fully charged battery will print around 35 photos.
Zink is short for zero ink, so, in other words, the printer doesn't need to be refilled with ink like a regular printer does. The clever thing about ZINK is that the ink is embedded in special printer paper. The colors only "come out" and make a picture when you hit the print button. Pretty cool, I think you'll agree.
Previous to the Polaroid GL10 Mobile Printer, ZINK printers could only produce photos that measured 2 by 3 inches. The GL10 can produce 3 by 4 inch photos.
The quality of the photo is much better than you got with "older" ZINK printers. However don't expect stunning high definition photos because the GL10 is designed for printing those quick "snapshots", and then quickly sharing them, or sticking on the fridge door. Actually, for a mobile or portable device, the photo quality is not bad at all. Skin tones are reproduced well for example.
The quality of the prints also depends to some extent on the quality of your camera - a photo taken on a Nikon SLR, for instance, will print with more "vibrant" color than your average cell phone camera.
The photos have a nice retro, or classic, look and feel to them.
And prints are water-proof, scratch-resistant, tear-resistant and smudge-proof. Ideal for handing round at parties or outdoor festivals.
The Verdict
This is a big improvement on the first generation, Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer. It's so quick and easy to use, and is the perfect accessory for your smartphone, The only drawback is the price I guess, but personally I think you get lots of fun and memories for your buck. Well done Lady Gaga!

Amazon Verified Purchase
First off, this is a great fun little printer. I use it to create small samples of my photographs to hand out to prospective clients as well as friends and family. The prints are 3"x4" and because of the inkless (Zink - for 'zero ink') printing menthod, the prints are instantly dry as there is no wet process going on. Crucially this means no additional costs for ink supplies. All you need is the paper.
Being a Bluetooth printer means it is very easy to get images onto the device to print although annoyingly there seems to be no buffer which means images have to be transferred one at a time. Prints take around 20-30 seconds to print. Each pack of 3"x4" contains 30 sheets of paper in 10-pack mini-cases. Prices for these vary and although available here on Amazon, at the time of writing, this was only through resellers, although the one I use is a 'Fulfilled by Amazon' scheme member - and the cost with them is £14.99.
There are some things to be aware of:
1. The first and possibly most important for users of the most popular phone right now, is that there is currently no way of Bluetooth printing direct from the iPhone. There is talk of a Polaroid app being produced to allow this, but there's no sight of it yet. iPhone users will need to transfer images to a computer and send them via Bluetooth from there.
2. Second - print quality. Contrary to some opinions, this printer is CAPABLE of producing great quality prints and reproducing reasonably accurate colours BUT it is sensitive to the quality of the file sent to it. At anything under about 150-200k, solid areas of colour will be inconsistent or patchy.
3. Image cropping - because the aspect ratio of the prints and their size, the printer will auto-detect the main area of the image and print accordingly. SOMETIMES, this means you won't get exactly what you thought you would. The only way past this is to edit images to the correct size before printing, although this kind of defeats the impulsive nature of it.
However, taking it for what it is, a great little fun printer, you won't be disappointed.
