Portable Printer
Lifeprint is a pocket-sized, inkless portable photo printer that creates sharp prints instantly. And its special software can make photos seemingly come to life.
Pop out sharp photos directly from your social media accounts or camera in just 30 seconds. Its companion app has an augmented reality feature that prints video stills. When you hover over the physical print, it cues up the actual video on the app’s Liveviewer, making it come to life.
Lifeprint doesn’t even need ink. It uses ZINK technology, which embeds cyan, yellow, and magenta crystals in the photo paper then activates them with heat to create a life-like image.
You’ll get 10 to 15 stills on a single charge. And it only takes Lifeprint about an hour to completely power up again.
Take it anywhere to transform memories into physical keepsakes you can relive whenever.

10/13/2017 10:28 AMThese appear to be very small prints. Any plans to make this technology available for larger prints? how long will the printer itself last before it will need to be replaced?

10/13/2017 12:54 PM@Mary Jo the photos are 'wallet size' and perfect for sticking on your walls or laptop. That said, we do have plans for a larger format in the future but no official date yet
Paula
10/13/2017 10:37 AMDo you offer an option to put a corporate logo on the printer to use as corporate gifts?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 12:53 PM@Paula yes, though it depends on quantity. Please write to [email protected] and we should be able to help with this

10/13/2017 10:53 AMRobert,
What a neat ideal. I love the idea that you can print right from your phone. I'm working on a project with small pictures of my grandkids and this, I think will be perfect for the project, AND, I don't have to bother with connecting my phone to the computer and resizing the photos.

10/13/2017 10:53 AMDo you have to replace the color crystals that are embedded? If so, how often roughly and what is the cost associated?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 1:59 PM@Billy The printer is actually ink-less, which is super cool! All you need is the Lifeprint paper and your all set:)
Catherine
10/13/2017 10:54 AMIf I print a video photo and send it to my mother-in-law, can she get the App and view the video as shown in the promotional video?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:01 PMHi @Catherine, if your mother-in-law has the printed photo and downloads the free app, without logging-in can view the photo come to life!
James
10/13/2017 10:57 AMThis looks to be a promising item but the size of the prints are very small. Might be interested if they were larger prints.
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:05 PMHi @James, we like to think of this printer as the perfect travel size, the pictures are printed as a 2x3. With that in mind we do have plans for a larger format in the future but no official date yet.
Kristin
10/13/2017 10:59 AMDo you have plans to develop a larger device? I think the only reason most people print pictures these days is to frame them, but these are very small.
stephanie
10/13/2017 11:02 AMobviously you have to add paper, but if it is "ink less" what else do you have to add? Toner??
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:02 PMHi @stephanie, Just a touch of magic needs to be added :)
Add paper and print - tada! The paper is ink-less, smudge proof, and has an optional sticky back.

10/13/2017 11:02 AMHow long will the printer itself last before it needs to be replaced? These appear to be very small prints, any plans to make this technology available in a larger model?
Sarah
10/13/2017 11:08 AMGreat product! What size are the photos? And does it come with a battery charger? Thanks!
Vivi – Grommet Team
10/13/2017 1:58 PM@Sarah Hi Sarah. Thanks! We think it's pretty nifty as well. The photos are 2" x 3" and it comes with a USB charging cord.

10/13/2017 11:11 AMWhat is the life of the prints? How best to store them?
Bill
10/13/2017 11:11 AMQuery: WWhat is longevity of print quality? Does heat effect
print before and/after activation?
April
10/13/2017 11:12 AMDoes this work by using wi-fi? And can it work with any type of smartphone? Also- how big are the prints?
Vivi – Grommet Team
10/13/2017 1:59 PM@April Hi April! The Lifeprint works through Bluetooth so it's compatible with iPhones and Android phones. The prints come out to be 2" x 3".
james
10/13/2017 11:12 AMdoes it work with i-phone and android?
Vivi – Grommet Team

ANDREA
10/13/2017 11:20 AMHow long do these “inkless” crystals last?
Boyd
10/13/2017 11:23 AMWill these pictures fade over time like polaroids used to do.
Steve
10/13/2017 11:24 AMCan it be used while plugged in?
Shelly
10/13/2017 11:28 AMWhat size are the prints? They seem small. Is that the only size? The paper -- How many photos/$19.95 pack?
Vivi – Grommet Team
10/13/2017 2:11 PM@Shelly Hi Shelly! Yes, the prints are smaller, sized at 2" x 3". Perfectly pocket-sized. The refill pack is 30/$19.95, 110/$49.95.
Kristin
10/13/2017 11:31 AMDo you have any plans to make a larger size of this? I wouldn't have much use for photos that small.
Gresh
10/13/2017 11:40 AMIt looks awesome but I wonder about the crystals. do they need refilling and how often?
Sheryll
10/13/2017 12:04 PMAre you the only source for this photo paper? I am concerned about getting addicted to this product and then not being able to replace the paper.
Jonathan
10/13/2017 12:07 PMHow small are the prints? They appear smaller than a business card. Are they little like the strip of four you get from a photo booth?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:10 PMHi @Jonathan, the photos printed are 2" x 3".
Helene
10/13/2017 12:23 PMReceipts printed with heat sensitive ink will fade if exposed to further heat. Are photos printed with heat-sensitive paper susceptible to the same thing?
Charlene
10/13/2017 12:25 PMWhat size is the finished pic?
Vivi – Grommet Team
10/13/2017 1:56 PM@Charlene Hi Charlene! The finished photo will be 2" x 3"
Nathan
10/13/2017 12:46 PMWhat refills does the ZINK system require, how many prints from each, and what is their approximate cost?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:08 PMHi @Nathan, the paper comes in packs of ten, so tens prints, then it needs to be refilled.
Cozette
10/13/2017 1:05 PMHow do you make a video with it and PLEASE make a larger one 4x6 would be great
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:07 PMHi @Cozette, super easy! Just upload a short video, connect the printer click print after selecting which video you want, and tada, you just printed a real video! Then, with the app, you can scan it and watch it come to life like magic!
Aria
10/13/2017 1:35 PMCan it run off of the charger if the battery is dead?
Robert – Special Guest
10/13/2017 2:09 PMHi @Aria, similar to a smartphone, you can print while it's charging:) The printer has a charging USB cable that comes in the box :)
