Really surprisingly good - fresh'm in love with this device :-)

I am passionate "amateur photographer" (called so I think) and my Polaroid GL10 I have printed since an abundant week and so far about 50 sheets of zinc-paper and I am still surprised every time you print - positive. I also have the Polaroid Pogo printer and the corresponding pogo camera. Both print on 2x3 inch media in sticker style and the quality can be classified more as a party gag. The GL10 plays in a completely different league. I came back from Sweden yesterday and have extensively tested the GL10 and am really excited. The purpose of the GL10 is immediately there where one is to get a deduction, (3x4 inches, 10.2 x 7.6 cm). The "prints" are sharp, with color prints tend rather to give naturalness and with black and white photos accurately reflect what you would expect (all uploaded photos of me SW with Silver Effex Pro 2).
The handling of the printer could not be simpler and better. Charging, turn, connect. Connect via USB directly to a Picture Bridge-enabled camera. My Leica and my D80 can. My new Sony HX9V can not unfortunately, hence the detour via a computer necessary. About the computer, the connection is via Bluetooth and is without any problems (tested on three computers) (Hama Buetoothstick costs 10 Euros).
The rate of pressure depends on the file size. A 16 megapixel file 7MB takes before 4 Minutes, the same file on 1600 x X pixels and 50% compression JPG scaled down (Nikon PictureProject) needs 30 seconds. It is the finished print no discernible difference between the two, which is to be expected due to the image data and the dimensions of the pressure also.
I was surprised then really the quality of black and white photographs. Some my jaw is simply fell down. Let memories of old times and old photo albums wake up - in her radiance!

I upload some examples. The playback is of course due to the limited Uploadspecherplatzes per image not entirely meaningful, tonal values ​​and sharpness but reproduced.

I would not hesitate to re-buy the GL10 and signed up with a lot of paper for eigedeckt. As I gathered some sites from the United States, there are already ZINK printers in larger sizes (not Polaroid), but so far only be obtained in Nrodamerika (was trying to buy). The larger models are partly accompanied by a display. It is therefore safe to do on the sector of the Zero Ink technology in the next few years a lot. The G10 is in its format size anyway a real size ...

Supplement 08.16.11: One striking proportional the quality of prints follows the quality of photographic images. Since 2 weeks I take pictures only with my new Leica X1 and the printouts, initially dismissed by me as an entertainment, have once again surprised me. Obviously, this technology has enormous reserves. After passage by Nik Viveza 2 SoftwareŽs and partly Color Efex 2 that "prints" the GL10 are really excellent. It really seems to be the "raw material" to lie. The GL10 and his followers seem to be much more demanding than assumed.

Addendum 24.08.2011 The fundamental quality of the prints I had already highlighted. Particularly noteworthy are its excellent color fidelity and detail resolution. The color fidelity is absolutely surprisingly good. The colors correspond with the colors on your monitor (calibrated Dell 30Zoll, Spider 3 Elite, Adobe Lightroom) exactly match (Adobe RGB). The GL10 app a scaled the photos without distortion buttery soft to the 3x4 inch paper, with a white border, but that's logical, when circumcised commodity. Photographed and one leaves 4: 3, then natürich completely borderless. These white edges, but exactly exude the charm of old Polaroids of, on a completely different level.
The Deatailauflösung, the local contrast and dynamics of prints are also very satisfactory.
And it should be added there, compared to the first generation, the Pogo, absolutely no iatrogenic or strip unwanted texture, so to speak, out of the printer itself. Crystal clear print image. A portrait with side-mounted motif and raven black background looks exactly like on the monitor, spotless black surface, no color pixel, and nothing worked out the portrait filigree.
The whole thing is so brilliant especially in light of the pricing of this printing method: No ink. No toner. We know for a 10-pack, how much money you burned, exactly. Currently costs 30 sheets 14,99 Euros. So I can live very well! Even if I still get a larger-format printers from the product range this year into the house, the GL10 is because these are precisely the pocket prints, you I want to have, in this very super quality - homemade without somewhere to have to go, what to upload to need to have to order somewhere ...
