Order Polaroid Style Prints Straight from Your iPhone for $1 with Printic printic1

Printic is a new service that mixes two popular cultural movements. The first is that nostalgic pull back towards the days when we actually got to hold our pictures in hand; the second, the square crop, retro, lo-fi movement.

So what do you get when you combine these two? You get a service that lets you select and crop photos directly from your phone, and send Polaroid-style high-quality prints to whomever for just $1 a piece.

Here’s a short intro to the service:

As you can see, the whole process is pretty straight forward. As far as quality is concerned, their website is very adamant that the prints are produced in the best photo labs worldwide. And if one thousand metaphorical words aren’t quite enough, you can even add a short message to the back of the photo.

Prints cost just a dollar a piece including shipping and tax, with the only stipulation being that you have to order a minimum of three at a time. To check out the service for yourself, head over to their website or download the app for free off the iTunes app store.

    Must be said that this “gimmick” defeats the purpose of utilizing instant Polaroid photos.

    Do they fade like polaroids? Can’t see any point in this at all. I’d rather spend the $1 on a decent print. I loved my polaroid camera when I was a kid but only because I could get the prints instantly.

    I would love to use this service without an iPhone.

    @$1 a print it’s not going to be a “real” polaroid type instant print, it will be some sort of inkjet, digital optical or dye sub and most likely one of the last two which are lowest cost per print for commercial volumes and, of the four methods listed above, the least susceptible to fading, but even silver gelly and palladium prints fade given enough time.

    Hi. I got some Printics. Yes they are real photos and they’re on real photo paper, not inkjet. They’re not polaroids but the look like mini-polaroids.
