Free up some space on your smartphone with The Polaroid Zip wireless printer, the gadget that turns your selfies and phone pics into full-color 2x3-inch prints.

The Polaroid Zip connects to your iOS or Android device via Bluetooth or NFC technology and turns photos from your phone or tablet into prints with the help of a free app — though prints cost around 25 cents each.

The built-in battery lasts for about 25 prints, and all you need to get printing is premium Zink zero papers. No need to worry about smudging, Zink zero papers are ink-free; instead, they’re embedded with heat-activated dye crystals that change into the appropriate colors while your photo is being printed. Added bonus: Zink paper is way less expensive than Polaroid film, costing about $25 for 100 sheets.

Usually $159,99, you can grab the printer for $199.99 on Amazon.
