Several readers have emailed me asking for more about the pogo printer.
the photos from the pogo printer are used in my journal, some I manipulate, some I don't
Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than poking around an old bookstore! A used bookstore the way they used to be, full of old books. A store stuffed to the ceiling with books. Boxes of boxes and carts of books filling the aisles. Plus a collection of mixed unmatched chairs to sit and browse. Nothing new, no glitz just used and old books.
A place that you can not leave without something. Sunday, I was held captive in the poetry section.
Finding books you want and finding books you didn't know you wanted.
Finding an a wonderful 1887 edition of Longfellow for less than a cheeseburger. Better too.
So here are my thoughts on the pogo printer
-prints are in only one size 2" by 3" (same size as Artist Trading Cards, just thought I would mention it to those of you doing ATC's)
-it prints using zink, that means the only expense after purchase is the special zink paper
-I use the pogo only for use with photos from my cell phone (bluetooth) but you can connect it with your computer or digital camera. (I have never tried this)
-it won't replace standard photos due to the size limitation
-the prints have a sticky back, so you can peel the paper off and makes it easy for journaling. This is a good travel printer.
-the printer is small, thicker and a bit bigger than an iPhone. (the charger is almost as big as the printer)
-sometimes the prints have streaking but just feed the blue sheet that comes with each pack back through before printing (put on bottom of stack of paper)
-cost of each print is about .25 (I get my paper on amazon and look for specials)
-has a nice glossy surface like standard prints
-and there are all sorts of fun things you can do with the prints
this fun video just about says it all
Looks like you found some treasures at the book store. Thanks for more info about Pogo...the video was great, thanks!

Where is that bookstore... aaarghhhh - too far away anyway! Ohmy.. I could wonder there for days!!! I do love poetry too (did you know my mom's a poet? But her books weren't translated to English, so you cannot find those... pity) I have difficulties reading English poems - a lot of strange words - but I don't like translations much. I did read Dylan Thomas in English though - and visited his "seashaken house / On a breakneck of rocks" in Wales. I notice I write quite a long comment - sorry - (but poetry started it, now that's an excuse isn't it?!)

Thanx for this update about the PoGo. I have one but the prints are bad looking. Maybe I need to find my blue cardboard thingy. Thanx,
