LG Electronics (LG) and AJM Kooheji Group had announced the launch of
the PD221 Pocket Photo smart mobile printer at Carrefour, Bahrain. It
claims to deliver high quality photo prints and provide excellent
wireless connectivity, making it the ideal companion for both Android
and iOS smart phones.
“Printed photos always offer a better and more
heartfelt memory than the digital photos on your smartphones,” said Ali
Akbar, head of IT, AJM Kooheji Group. “Irrespective of whether you want to maintain an album or a scrapbook,
the LG Pocket Photo will print any picture or photograph that you would
like to keep with you forever,” he added.
This is one of the smallest and lightest mobile photo printing devices
on the market, measuring just 72 x 120 x 24 mm and weighing just 215
grams. It easily fits in the palm of one’s hand or inside a jacket pocket when not in use. Conveniently portable and practical, prints from the Pocket Photo
measure 5.1 x 7.6 cm (2 x 3 inch), perfect for sharing or displaying.
After downloading and installing a free app to their smartphones, users can connect their smart phones to the Pocket Photo and begin printing immediately. The range of editing tools included on the Pocket Photo app makes it a snap to embed QR codes and perform simple touch-ups, including cropping and coloring.
With the ability to print QR codes on photographs, the LG Pocket Photo
delivers a creative way of connecting a physical image to an online
community. QR codes can be read with any barcode scanning app, linking people to social networking sites or other online content. The
Pocket Photo can be used to print customized birthday invitations,
thank you cards, or even business cards with a personal QR code.
