how to give people on the spot pictures

[smokysun]

ran across a photographer who uses this on his travels as a thank you when people allow their picture taken. to me this is a great idea anywhere. i prefer not to sneak pics the hcb/winograd style.

Wayne,

As with any printer these days, it's the consumables that kill you. I have a little Sony Dye-Sub printer that was reasonably inexpensive, but the packs of paper/ink can really add up quickly.

Cheers,

Wayne,

the only other instant product I know out there is the Fuji Instax but I am unsure if these are available outside of Japan?

Cool...
Gota get one....
Inkless printing....I guess the ink is in the paper?? and the Polaroid Experience of peeling of the back is retained. :salute:
50 sheets $16.10

Reasonable until you give one child a photo and find a line forming. We thought about this with real Polaroids years ago but gave up the idea when we realized it would mushroom into a mini-career that would bring our travels to a standstill.

Cheers,

ah, sounds like one better be very selective! still think for travel...leaving kids out of the equation. and the paper prices seem much more reasonable than the old polaroids.
