I saw this technology at CES back in like 2018. I think it was polaroid that had them at that time.

It's still pretty damn cool today.

There are two, maybe three current "pocket" printer tech right now. Zink, which spun off from Polaroid and is licensed by several mainstream printer brands, and dye sublimation, and Fuji Instax. Based on the blue sheet briefly shown in the paper pack, which is used to send calibration info about the paper to the printer, this looks like a Zink printer.

Now that you mention it, I think it was Fuji. The same year, Polaroid had a giant Polaroid camera (non-functional) for people to take pics on, which is probably why I thought of Polaroid.

I think it prints business cards. So instead of carrying a bunch of cards you'd just carry this.

The guy just printed a photo from his phone, but I guess if your out of business cards.

It is a printer for photos, it needs special cartridges, it is like polaroids.

This logic does not track. You would still have to carry around the paper, and the printer.
