The Instagram mobile app has recently surged in popularity due to its ease of use and nostalgic, polaroid-inspired images it allows you to create. A new prototype device called Instaprint now lets you print out these photos while you’re on the move. The inkless printer, which is about the size of a lunch box, can be placed anywhere and is set with a location, so that any tagged images will pop out of the printer at that place.
The boxes are currently still in production but people can make enquires and pledge their support for the idea via Kickstarter. Although apps like Instagram have made it possible for anyone to create beautiful digital images, many of us still crave the physicality and tangibility of an old photograph or polaroid.
