The rise of small, portable printers in recent years has in some part been driven by the rejection of a ‘digital only’ world. There is no doubt that we have seen an increased desire to transform our most cherished moments into tangible keepsakes, and printers that offer an all-in-one package that can connect to your smartphone or tablet to print your photos on the go make it easier than ever to do so.
The Kodak Step Slim promises convenience as well as an elegant design and innovative, easy-to-set-up features that eliminate the need for messy cartridges or faffy printing processes. Like other portable printers in this category, the Step Slim doesn’t use inkjets or any form of traditional printing - instead, it uses Zink printing, which uses heat to activate colour crystals embedded in the ZINK paper, resulting in vibrant and smudge-proof prints. We’ll be looking into the printer’s design, functionality and ease of setup in this review, as well as how it stacks up compared to some of its very capable competitors.
