Included in the box, with the camera / printer unit, is a sample pack of the Polaroid Zink paper that is required by the printer element, a camera strap, standard-to-micro USB lead for charging the camera’s built-in Lithium-ion 700 mAh battery which is rated at producing 40 images from a single charge.

PRINTED MINT REVIEWS PORTABLE
It is eminently portable and can be slipped into a pocket without causing too much of an unsightly bulge or weigh you down when on your travels. Available in a choice of black, white, red, yellow and blue with my review sample being of the later hue., the Polaroid Mint Camera / Printer device has dimensions of 117 x 78.5 x 19.75 mm (L x W x D) and weighs 173g. The Polaroid 2-in-1 is the latest incarnation of the company’s first love of combining an instant digital camera with a printer facility. The Polaroid wheel now seems to have turned part of the way round the circle with the release of the Polaroid Mint 2-in-1 product. Later an instant mobile printer, using Zink™ technology, was added to the Polaroid collection. After a brief struggle as certain financial problems were resolved, Polaroid delivered a company make-over and re-invented itself as a manufacturer of electrical goods that included a range of slim-line televisions with Freeview, traditional cameras and memory storage devices to mention just some. Applying a quick fixative would help ensure the print did not fade later.

My first experience of Polaroid was with its rather bulky camera that would automatically deliver an instant black and white print of the captured image you have just taken.

Over the years life at Polaroid must have seemed like a series of “ups and down” as the company struggled to cope with different marketing conditions.
