What is a dye-sublimation printer?
"A dye-sublimation printer (or dye-sub printer) is a printer which employs a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto a medium such as a plastic card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name is applied because the dye transitions between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints.
Most dye-sublimation printers use CMYO (cyan, magenta, yellow and overcoating) colors, which differs from the more recognized CMYK colors in that the black dye is eliminated in favour of a clear overcoating. This overcoating (which has numerous names depending on the manufacturer) is also stored on the ribbon and is effectively a thin laminate which protects the print from discoloration from UV light and the air, while also rendering the print water-resistant."

Cool .. I am still dying for them to enable bluetooth printing so I can use my PoGo printer.
@ Mick - if you have a jailbroken phone, you can get iBlueNova and it works swell with the pogo printer.
Yeah, okay, and how long before the paper for this printer becomes hard to find like my pogo Polaroid printer?
I saw Polaroid Pogo printing paper on clearance at my local Target store on Saturday. Quite a bit cheaper now!
Epson Artisan 810 is a great wireless printer.
