By TWICE Staff -- TWICE, January 9, 2009

LAS VEGAS — Polaroid and Lite-On will offer products that embed Zink technology for inkless color printing.

Polaroid’s PoGo digital camera features an integrated 2-inch by 3-inch Zink photo printer. The camera features a 3-inch LCD and will ship in March for $199. Ten-packs of Zink paper will retail for $4.99 and 30-packs will retail for $12.99. 

Zink will also partner with Lite-On to produce a digital photo frame with a built-in 4- by 6-inch photo printer, among other products. Details were not available but the frame is due to ship in 2009.

Zink uses paper embedded with heat-activated dye crystals to produce photo prints without ink.
