Questions & Answers

Shopper : what does the printed picture picture look like?ROBERTA N : The printed picture looks pretty good for a little printer - I am quite pleased with it. Also, the color doesn't fade very much over time - I've had a pic sitting out for about 7-8 months, so far, not much color fading.DALE W : I have had my DS80 for over two years now and have never had a problem with the color of my prints...the come out to the same tone as I have processed them to on my computer. Doesn't matter if i have printed them at home or at an event...same great quality every timeYULING H : It's pretty blurry and does not reflect the true color in the digital image. Usually, the printed result is darker (grayer I would say) If you have enough budget, try get a fuji instax SHARE SP-1 instead. I have both and like the latter much better.
MARCELLA R : Will this work with my iPhone 4s. any special app's other than the lg print app.?SUMIN C : Yes, it works with iphone and android phones. You only need to get the lg pocket photo app. It is easy to use.ROBERTA N : It worked on my iPhone 4s - make sure you turn on bluetooth from your setting on the phone. I REALLY like this little printer. The Pocket Photo app is the only app you will need and very user friendly.ARTHUR T : I have iPhone 5 and it works great using Bluetooth technology. Can only imagine that it would work great with your phone!ANN S : Oh and since it draws from your iphone photo roll, you could conceivably use one of the mosaic apps with it and save it to your roll. But you'd have to see how small those mosaics can be, this is a pretty small photo. One thing to note: this is basically a toy. A fun one, but the battery life doesn't work for more than ten photos and you can't use it when charging. Takes about an hour to recharge. So it's for fun, not for printing a ton of pics at a party. ANN S : I have the Iphone 6 so not sure but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. See if the LG software functions on your phone. I MARCELLA R : Thanks everyone...that helps me out. Appreciate the info. Now to shop.MARK T : If you have bluetooth and can successfully download and run the app, that's all you need.DYLAN L : Yes, it is compatible with the iPhone 4S (I have a 4S and it works perfectly with the printer), and the LG print app is all you need. DIANNE B : Lg app is the only way I've ever done it
HOWARD J : What type of paper does the unit require?ROBERTA N : ZINK - the printer uses only ZINK paper. No need to buy ink for the printer since ink on this paper is heat activated. Color is pretty decent, too.ANDREW R : <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LOTPS2203.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/LOTPS2203.html</a>

So sad it’s gone

I LOVE this printer! I went to find paper for it again and thought it was weird I was having such a hard time finding any. I’m so so sad you have discontinued this product.

Worst Thing Ever

Waist of money, yes, it is expensive. I wasn't waiting for anything professional, but the quality is so poor, the colors are so off that it makes me wonder if it is broken. The Pocket printer app it is so bad, so slow, and it so crashes, it is not even worth trying to use it. I bought this in December of 2014 to go on vacation and I just could not use it because the whole process was painful.

waste of money for a cutesy gadget.

On a whim I asked for this for Christmas. My daughter bought it on EBAY. It arrived with no English instructions and no charger in the box. Fortunately I had other chargers that worked. I finally found English instructions on-line after a 20 minute search on the LG website so I could turn it on. The only picture I printed so far was way too yellow. I had planned to take this along on vacations to hand out as I took pictures of friends. texting is easier and better quality. I doubt the Korean seller will take it back, so I will play with it, but do not bother for pictures the size of a business card unless you have extra money to throw around.

Creative product

Overall I give this product good credit, however, the constraint is you have to use it with their specific app. And I have a Google Nexus 7 tablet which the app does not supported. In this case I can only use my smartphone for this printer. In addition, the photo quality getting worse after few photos print out. Hope LG can add the app to Google Nexus 7 tablet. And figure out more solution on maintaining photo's quality.

Awesome for mobile scrapbooking!

I recently took this on a trip to Italy to help me scrapbook the journey... at first I was skeptical about how the printer would performer, but it was fantastic! Since I was shooting primarily from my iPhone, to be able to sit down at a caffe or ristorante after sightseeing to write and to be able to print out pictures immediately (each print is approx. 15 seconds) helped me better remember all the aspects of my vacation. The photos were also a great souvenir to hand to the many friends I made while traveling. Great size, great battery life, consistent connection, and ease of use make this print a solid purchase. My only issue is that there is only limited photo correction in the LG app - most photos printed a bit darker than anticipated as the iPhone screen is very bright. This issue is easily resolved by using PS Express to lighten photos before sending them to print. All in all, a great product that I'd recommend for travel scrapbooking or even for social gatherings where people want to have a quickly made keepsake.

Pocket Full of Fun

This is a wonderful product for everyday use and enjoyment. Love the free LG app that is used in conjunction with the printer that allows for the user to add different frames and features to the photo. The app also has added filters much like Instagram filters that allow for better or more vibrant colors to pop out. Ease of use right out of the box is also a plus for this product. Easy to set up and very portable. Great for fun quick spur of the moment prints. Only drawback to this product is the LG film. It is a bit expensive but luckily there is an alternative. LG would do better to lower the price of the film and make the paper with adhesive on the back so it is like a sticker. See Polaroid Pogo.

Impressive Printer!

Great little printer! Easy to set up and use on my iPhone4. Print quality is a lot better than I expected. Perfect for traveling. I can share a pic with my parents (or anyone) that doesn't have a smart phone.

This is so awesome!!!

I bought this printer a short time ago and use it so much. I write my relatives and are able to include a photo immediately. There is no ink to buy which is something I always have to with a regular printer. The ink is in the paper somehow, and the printer fits right in my purse. Pair your smartphone to it and you can touch the printer and phone together and picture instantly starts to print. I LOVE THIS LITTLE THING!!!
