Additionally, the PocketColor 200 works directly with the SiPix SP-1300 digital camera. This allows for direct printing from the digital camera without the need for a computer, creating a true, portable digital darkroom. "The PocketColor 200 provides a unique solution in the field or on location, to place photographs in someone's hands when there otherwise is no option," said Michael Weizer, director of product marketing at SiPix, Inc. "Our research has shown that many professional and everyday digital photographers need immediate access to instant prints to share, collaborate and distribute." "True mobile printing of digital images has been an industry goal since the first digital cameras were introduced to the marketplace," said Ron Glaz, project manager for digital cameras and scanners at IDC, the world's leading provider of technology intelligence. "The new SiPix PocketColor 200 is a mobile, direct camera-to-printer solution at a price that becomes appealing to both business users and consumers. No other company is offering a tool like this at this price point." The printer uses specially designed paper and color cartridges from SiPix. A color cartridge will be included with every 20 piece package of photo quality paper. The color cartridge takes the guesswork out of confusing ink levels as it uses advanced thermal color transfer and is designed to be replaced with each new package of paper. These packages will be available at the retail level for $9.99. Value packs will also be available, 3 packages each including 20 pieces of photo quality paper each and a color cartridge, for $24.99. Pricing, Support and Warranty The PocketColor 200 will retail for an estimated $179 and ship with an AC adapter for use in the home or office, a travel pouch, a USB cable, a color cartridge and 20 sheets of photo paper, a cleaning head and a quick start guide.
