I can remember the days when we would snap some pictures with the old Polaroid and hang them up on the fridge, tack them to the cork-board and fill album after album. While I love my digital camera, and the amazing quality picture I get from my phone, I really miss having hard copies of some of those special moments and with the advent of Instagram (shameless plug: @retroguy1985) I have always wanted a way to print some of my pictures.
In the past I’ve tried various services that offer Instagram printing, but most only offer in bulk and printing individual pictures would just cost too much and was far from instant. Well, not only can I now print individual Instagram pictures, but I can have them instantly or printed to anywhere in the world. “What black magic is this!” I hear you asking, well it’s not magic but technology, and you can be a part of it with a new Kickstarter.
Let’s hear from the people behind it themselves:
LifePrint is an app enabled wireless photo printer for your iPhone or Android. It’s instant. It’s portable. It’s social. It’s awesome. Take a photo with your smartphone, open the LifePrint App, and print. Easy. Your photo will wirelessly print in about 60 seconds and be waiting for you when you get home. This will even work if you’re on vacation half-way across the world while your printer is on your desk at home. You will not be required to be connected to WiFi to print. As long as you have 3G connection or better, you’re good to go.
Instantly share actual photographs with friends and family all over the world. For example, through the LifePrint App, I’ll be able to “follow” my sister who lives in Japan and she’ll be able to “follow” me back. That way, she can send me photos of my new niece from 5,000 miles away, and I can send her photos of me eating In N Out burger in California to make her jealous.
As our network grows, you’ll even be able to “follow” celebrities, nature photographers, fashion models, sports teams, and so on… just like you do on Instagram. But instead of just ‘liking’ the image on your phone screen, you’ll have a real photograph to enjoy.
If you happen to be a celeb or artist, LifePrint gives you a unique opportunity to share actual photographs with your fans and followers so you can connect with them in a way you’ve never been able to do before.
