All the same, The processing with the Format and the roughened plastic surface, it sits well in the Hand.
His magic, the printer is designed with the strange name-but only if you coupled it with a Smartphone and the first images of prints. In fact, it is thrown directly back into the Polaroid Era. Whether colleagues or friends: All were immediately on the after a few seconds, the finished expression, wanted to take the business card-sized photos in the Hand and examine.
