I recently bought a cheap zink camera and some not-so-cheap zink paper.

People said the quality wasn't good but I thought, "how bad can it really be?"

Pretty terrible!

I don't understand how zink can be a thing that people buy, unless they are all people like me who will never buy it again.

I have a Polaroid-branded Zink printer from around 2008 and a Polaroid-branded Zink printer from more recent years and the quality has always been rubbish. BUT, I still bought a Brother Zink-on-a-roll printer that I use to print out small pictures as stickers to stick into my journal as a photo diary.

Ultra-niche use, of course, but there you go, there's nothing as zero-config as this thing.
