Does the Kodak Printomatic need ink?

No. It uses ZINK paper, which produces color through heat, so there are no ink cartridges to buy or replace.

Can I save digital copies of the photos?

Yes, but only with a microSD card, which is not included. Without a card the camera prints but does not store files.

How does it compare with a Fujifilm Instax camera?

Instax prints are larger and generally sharper, while the Printomatic's ZINK prints are sticky-backed and need no ink. The Printomatic is simpler but gives you less control.

What comes in the gift bundle?

The bundle adds a soft protective case, a 20-sheet pack of ZINK paper, an album and markers, on top of the camera itself.

Yes. The automatic settings, flash and one-button operation make it easy for children, though the paper refills are a recurring cost.

Does it have a flash?

Yes, a built-in flash fires automatically in low light. There is no way to turn it off or adjust its strength.

Our take on the Kodak Printomatic Instant Print Camera

The Kodak Printomatic is a point-and-shoot digital camera that prints 2x3-inch full-color photos on ZINK paper, which needs no ink or toner. It has a built-in flash, automatic exposure and a fixed-focus lens, and it saves digital copies to a microSD card. It is simpler and cheaper-feeling than the Fujifilm Instax and Polaroid rivals, with softer prints and no controls to speak of. It suits kids, journalers and casual snapshot takers who want sticky-backed prints without fuss.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Printomatic as a fun, low-effort printer camera for kids and journaling rather than a serious camera. They like the sticky prints and simple operation but often note soft, dull-looking photos and the ongoing cost of ZINK paper.
