Wonder how much ink is?

 

Also why do they recommend you purchase this http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/121630560.htm if it is a digital printer? Is this the paper the pics are printed on? If so just an FYI that they say it may not be included in your package and if not you can not return it and they suggest you purchase the film which is $20 for 20 pics? Or am I wayyyyy off?

Amazon has it on their site for $29.95 with tons of reviews that may answer all of your questions - here's the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005A48G/

So basically I was correct so it equals one dollar per print! And according to the reviews it won't accept large memory cards which most people have. Not too good for me. Better off sending them to my local drugstore :)

Ok, I'll give everyone the scoop on this printer.

 

The good: Print quality is great. No wires, no batteries needed. Small and compact, a good travel printer.

 

The bad: Looks like the film is being done away with. I did find film for the camera but it was being clearanced for $8. I've actually found the film for $5 online. The film that came with the printer was dated 6/01 so when I put it in the printer and tried to print it of course didn't print because the film was too old. Once I put a fresh film in it worked great. As for the memory card, I myself printed from a 512K Compact Flash card no problem. You'll need some type of compact flash converter to try other memory cards. The print is actually only a 3x4 print.
