There are thermal paper printers like the paperang p2 which should give you more flexibility then this?

[@xoxoserenityeverestoxox]

Can you play games on them? bc I want it for camp but no games or electronics allowed

[@greenpenguin8699]

This would be neat for relationship milestones. Like if you went to a restaurant for your first date, you could print a pic of you two on the receipt

[@deltactarchives1328]

Instant buy, no more scammy ink cartridges, no more ink expulsion heads getting destroyed over time, no more exclusive paper necessary. Everyone needed this. And this is most definetely one of the top-tier products made in 2020. Grim year, bright community.

"Videos are also of a very poor quality." Funny, I remember a time not so long ago, when KZbin already existed, that those videos would have been impressive. 🤣

[@MathieuStern]

Well said!

[@strawberryjam3670]

I kinda wanna gather receipts of some stores and then just take pictures of some of the manic buying that happens, or the trash that results from that. Would be kinda aesthetic and deep, heh

[@pandupujo3917]

With a classic case, this will be instant buy. We need this for forgetful digital age

[@mollekake]

And have pictures that fade in a year?

[@EpicDubstepManiac]

Also try looking for those as bluetooth printers, it prints on the same paper but you can print much better photos and they are about 30-40 euro

[@Doologistics]

@@EpicDubstepManiac What printers are those? This interests me greatly!

[@ZachACameraGuy]

@@Doologistics there's a Chinese brand name Paperang. The printer is made as a companion tool for school childrens as they can print memos or mathematical graphs and stuff, to help with the learning, but in our case, we just use it to print pictures😂 It use the same thermo-paper. I came across this video and instantly went to do some web searching 😂😂 Turns out there are multiple brands for such kind of thermo-paper printer. Paperang is just one of the bigger names.

[@stalin200000]

yea.. they need to make it in form of hasselblad... wow! noce idea!! i am going to do it myself!!!

[@rey_jeff]

I Love how you double-exposed a receipt. Can't wait to experiment with that myself!

[@hadrtjo]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL Everytime I want to experiment with camera, lenses, I'm looking for kid's cameras, I always find your video about it. Thank you.

[@matildas3177]

This sounds like a really fun little camera! But I'm a bit worried about how well the photos will hold up to time. At least the prints on thermal papers I've used barely last a year or two, depending on their quality. Same goes for the paper recites I've gotten in stores. So it doesn't seem like the best camera to use to capture childhood memories since they won't last long. Plus, if it's low quality paper and you touch it on a hot summer day, you'll have a lovely finger shaped blob on your photo.

[@mileswales]

This is cool. I wish thermal prints lasted longer.

[@davidedinoi3468]

Wow, so interesting! I use a Paperang P2 printer with same mechanism but it's just a printer, and work with a smartphone app. So usefull and full of function, strongly recommend!

[@PaganiTypeR]

Doesn't those prints tend to fade over time? I think even if you hide it from sunlight, the image would be gone within couple of years, but in all honesty... I absolutely love this idea.

[@filmdigitalvideos]

Yes they fade, but you could lay a few out on a scanner and scan them which is I think what were being shown in the video.

[@MrTuero93]

@@filmdigitalvideos So we take a digital photo, we print it, and then we scan them... 🤔

[@sneeuwwolf1176]

My record is 14 years. The receipt was hidden in a pocket of a jacket I didn't use for 14 years. Aibecy Peripage sells special paper that should last 10 years (at least). If you want to see how well receipt paper can stand sunshine versus the Peripage paper than click on my channel. I have a little video on there showing the results.

[@louisecooper2293]

Maybe get printer or other paper and cut it to size 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲

[@jackkraken3888]

Yes they can fade pretty fast depending on the quality of the paper, and if that's not bad enough don't ever spill sanitizer or oil onto it.

[@RSpudieD]

I love the idea of printing onto receipt paper! I think it's a great idea and has me excited like you!

[@MathieuStern]

right ??! so many receipt paper is going to the garbage, and could be transformed into art !

[@JanneRanta]

It looks nice coming out of the camera. However how long do those last? Every receipt I have is faded to nothing after awhile.

[@jackkraken3888]

I think it depends on the paper, but even after a few months it will start to fade. You can make a photocopy though, or scan it.

[@tasteinparis7138]

I love the collage idea !

[@Bajellor]

That Chewbacca pic at 2:36 is nightmare fuel

[@AlliasEllie]

looks kinda like my first boyfriend

[@What.iphhhh]

@@AlliasEllie sounds like a dream boyfriend to me

[@ninjaeddy1717]

Glad to see the game boy printer! I’m going to have to dig mine out from the closet. Hell, I might buy this camera!

[@potatoradio]

Reminds me of the toy pal video camera that saved to cassettes. Get it now, cuz the PXLs are now hundreds of dollars...

[@SquirrelHybrid]

We used to print random pictures with receipt paper at my old job. Boss wasn't too happy about it.

[@jackkraken3888]

lol me too! But the boss never found out!

[@JoshRodstein]

Thank you for a wonderful video and a super great idea. I think the idea of a inexpensive temporary print is super cool. Whoever said prints HAVE to last forever. Have it, enjoy it, then it fades. Make more. :)

[@rewindproject1617]

The way you print with old receipt gave me an idea to use it as multiexpose shot. Thanks

[@MrTuero93]

I have a question. It looks you can print any photo from the gallery, isnt't it? So can you put photos taken with another digital camera in the sdcard and print them on this camera??

[@Rabbittomaru]

How does it last, since thermo paper is easily to decrease its own unique printed? And as perhaps it's only available monochromatic

[@callumcooper1606]

i believe most will fade a reasonable amount after about 6 months based on comments on a project that involved placing a reciept printer in a polaroid shell on hackaday by mxtela (i think)

[@lignesbois6768]

That was my essential question too about this very interesting project. Thanks @Callum Cooper for the answer

[@StolenBlock]

Maybe there's a way to get the ink to not bleach?

[@KeyFilmation]

Hello, which smartphone lens did you get? I am having trouble finding cheap ones like the one you used! Thank you

[@coondogtheman]

Saw one like this on Facebook. It was a little different than this but same idea. Pretty neat idea

[@AimShootDevelop]

If you want to preserve an image you can use a laminator or just simple shipping tape, it’ll add durability and protect the image!

[@StolenBlock]

And UV bleaching?

[@jacobjb]

@@StolenBlock Just store it in a dark box or a scrap book away from the sun.

[@mhaustria]

A friend build a similar camera with a raspberry pi. I think the idea is great, the camera is cheap and as you said the paper is also cheap. A fun experience, but you better protect your pints or scan them, because over time they will fade. I can see people buying this for a wedding book for example...

[@MathieuStern]

Yes for a wedding it would be a great cheap way to have fun, and you can print on stickers directly

[@mhaustria]

Mathieu Stern i gotta recommend it to my future clients - as said the fading is my main concern. Try to leave it in the sun for half a day ;)

[@pizzablender]

You can recover faded images by exposing them to heat or to acetone vapor. Then, the 'unexposed' parts will turn black and you are left with a negative, that could be scanned for example.

[@marsrover001]

Despite it's shortcomings, this is the absolute coolest kids camera I've ever seen. And at $99 it's not as expensive as I thought it would be. When christmas rolls around I'll prob get this for my sister, she would LOVE this. Plus I've only got to buy one thing at CVS to get a 30 pack of "film".

[@christianmccauley7340]

Shit man, nowadays one of these is like 30 bucks on amazon

[@PhilippeRoberge]

Mathieu, this is incredible. Thank you for bringing this product to attention!

[@NickDanzinger]

Thermal paper printing tends to fade over time but this would definately make a nice gift for children

[@sk8tity]

My camera won’t turn on is there a way to troubleshoot it’s been charging for 3 hrs There’s no battery compartment It was so expensive 😩 for the 3 times I used it

[@lithostheory]

How many dpi is the printer?

[@MrsFractal]

you can get different thermal papaers which last more then a year, even sticker or transpaert papaers as well, and some of them have 5-20 years lasting.

[@DominicArenas]

Have you experimented with the SD slot? Are you able to save images to the SD and print them, or will it only print images it takes?

[@MathieuStern]

I tried to import images from my comp, but it's not working, it will only print images the camera shot

[@StolenBlock]

@@MathieuStern tried to open an original file in PS and replace the content? That's how i fix corrupted 360 pics, just paste them in an copy of an original one

[@DominicArenas]

Ah, too good to be true then!

[@CraigDavies.]

Are these suitable for kids due to the bps content ?

[@RafaWu]

Amazing. I need to get this. Even if it's just for collages

[@CertifiedSadBoy]

never new about this cool invention.

[@shawnbrynelson5333]

I wonder if you could modify one with a 3d printer to use cctv or 8/16mm camera lenses?

[@gringagarbo7508]

Hey but will the photos disappear from the paper over time like the receipts do?

[@BogdanSorlea]

I wonder if any thermal paper instant camera for adults has been developed meanwhile

[@qlogic2002]

Finally, a use for CVS receipts!!!!!

[@HesselFolkertsma]

Love the idea for a children’s camera.

[@tehPete]

..apart from the significantly increased exposure to BPA and whatever else it is that coats the paper, during key formative years. TBH It's the gameboy camera / printer with maybe a slightly higher resolution - I'd expect better given that the core tech is between 20 and 30 years old. It's a gimmick, and a recycled one at that; just buy a cheap printer with a CIS system.

[@showcase-me]

Mind Blown!!

[@x_KITTEN_x]

How to setting the camera ? The photos are not clear

[@obscura6205]

With enough playing around with it, you could really create some very interesting content along with some pretty artistic pieces of it was blown up on a canvas

[@ZachACameraGuy]

This instant camera is so eco friendly 👍 we love it 😉 when buying you always get a free thermal paper to make your own picture 💪💪💪 that's massive 😎 Mathieu thumbs up, keep growing and see ya at our travel channel 👍👍 you are more than welcome to come by and express your feelings about it 🤩

thanks a lot

[@Matt_The_Hugenot]

So much potential for art projects.

[@samueltournan4415]

Tu sais si on peut changer l'objectif sur ce genre de trucs?

[@samueltournan4415]

genre en faisant une commande spéciale chez un opticien par exemple?

[@exodous02]

Even Nintendo GB printer needed special paper. Sure it was just thermal paper but it was narrow and had to be their brand. I wonder if every country uses a standard size of receipt paper? It would be annoying if you had to order thermal paper from a specific region that the camera was made for.

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

Would love a cheaper version that were just a pocket printer 🖨

[@salarycat]

Would be cool if they made a portable printer product, so you can have a copy of the image from your digital camera.

[@rieanperez5162]

How much?

[@genosse_miller]

Like for lubitel 2! I have lubitel 166V, This is nice soviet camera for vintage.

[@zacharysmith3800]

This is a great idea, It would be awesome if there was a standalone printer you could connect your smartphone to

[@NaviRetlav]

Does anyone know about any good quality thermal paper printer that does have an option to print imgaes from phone ?

[@Jordan-yp2rp]

paperang

[@EpicDubstepManiac]

You can also find bluetooth thermal printers, that can print on sticker paper or other types of thermal paper

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

The receipts you get in shops usually fade, so I suppose the photos fade as well. It doesn't entirely put me off. Because the main fun you get with instant cameras is in the first 5 minutes!

[@andrestomas2366]

Could you shoot a professional film with a modern camera with an 8mm film lense

[@MathieuStern]

yes if it's a small sensor like a GH5

[@andrestomas2366]

Mathieu Stern I am new to this stuff but I am planning on filming a movie named DeadWoods “camp Highpoint” and I really plan on this looking good do you have any suggestions on a good camera that looks cinematic that’s not too expensive? If you know anything. I really would love to learn

[@bullygram]

Good addition for zine making

[@keatonx2]

I like the idea, but not you guys forgot those papers has bisphenol-a...

[@AveryDelMiller]

That is super cool

[@MuhammadYousaf-yg6tw]

Wonder full experement

[@ROKaleidoscope]

the big problem is that after a while the image will dissapear. Look at some reciept from let's say 4 months ago and you will hardly see something. It is a fun camera but if it doesn't also have a sd card is a waste of money and time even for a kid. Imagine a kid happy that he made a picture to the little kitty and after a year he check it and see nothing... but.. interesting idee.

[@MathieuStern]

there is a SD card slot to save the photos, i forgot to put that in the video :)

[@ROKaleidoscope]

@@MathieuStern Then it is indeed a fun camera to play with. Thank you for the answer. Good to know! :)

[@ashersmarvelmcocexamplesof450]

[@diclexicschweb4748]

If they made one that wasnt a toy for kids id get one

[@coondogtheman]

I'd get this camera but it's kind of childish. They should make a version for adults.

[@EdwardIglesias]

This seems to be made for hacking. If you could get a Rasberry Pi to talk to a thermal printer then you could use the new Pi camera though it is not that much better. More interesting would be connecting a "real" camera via hdmi or usb to output to the thermal printer.

[@MiscellaneousMcC]

Wow, that is pretty expensive for a kids toy. $140 yikes. I'd love to play with one though.
