LG Electronics, the South Korean electronics company has devised an easy way to print photos instantly with its PD233 pocket photo printer. The device delivers high quality prints and provides fairly good wireless connectivity, making it the ideal companion for both Apple and Android-powered smartphones. The mobile printer carries an affordable price tag of R14,990.
At first look, the LG printer comes across as a stylish piece of hardware and software combo. At 212 grams, it is one of the smallest and lightest mobile phone printing devices in the market where users can print on the go and also share photos on social media platforms and online, directly from the device. The photo printer easily fits the palm of one's hand or a jacket pocket when not in use. It produces 5.1 x 7.6 cm (2 x 3 inch) prints, perfect for sharing or displaying.
Set up was fairly simple. Download the LG Pocket Photo app from Google Play Store on a HTC phone. You can set the app for printing using Bluetooth or near-field communication (NFC). When turning the device on, the Start button flashes for 5 seconds and then printing is available. Also, do not forget to slide Smart Sheet (blue) and photo papers together into the Paper insert slot. Smart Sheet will be ejected automatically before first printing. Smart Sheet essentially cleans printer head and calibrates colour on photo. Most important, do not insert more than one pack (10 Photo papers and one Smart Sheet). Otherwise, two papers may be ejected at once or paper jam may occur.
This device uses built-in battery. Before using it, charge the battery in full. This will normally take about one and a half hours. Once the battery is fully charged, you can print upto 25 papers in a row. You can connect the device to PC using the supplied USB cable, but charging time can be longer.
With the ability to print QR codes on photographs, the LG printer delivers a creative way of connecting a physical image to an online community. QR codes can be read with any barcode scanning app, linking people to social networking sites or other online content. In addition, the LG printer can be used to print customised birthday invitations, thank you cards, or even business cards with a personal QR code.
The LG pocket printer also facilitates fast on-the-fly editing. Its editing app lets you make quick adjustments to photos on your smartphone or laptop before printing your picture. Each mini printer comes with an app that makes creating your own e-cards simple. With customisable photo frames and decorative options, you can quickly and easily create and print your own cards and invitations, or send them electronically.
