Dell has finally released its Wasabi PZ310 printer that we saw last month at CES. This portable printer is specially designed to work with APN that supports PictBridge using the USB, and more Bluetooth devices to facilitate wireless printing. The Wasabi PZ310 printer will be based on ZINK (zero-ink) technology borrowed from Polaroid, using a layer in the paper itself to print an image, so it doesn’t need cartridge ink or toner. You can produce a full color image of 5.1cm x 7.6cm in about 60 seconds, which isn’t bad for a device of this kind. The Dell PZ310 printer will be sold at the promotional price of $99, and it will cost $149 when the promotional period will be over. For peculiar reasons to Dell, this printer doesn’t recognize the iPhone, but this might change in the future.
