It prints in black and white using heat, so there is no ink cartridge to buy or replace. Easy Life Markets sells it in six designs, each with two rolls of paper, five crayons and a lanyard, and each with or without a 32GB memory card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe printing works the same way as a shop receipt printer. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thermal_printing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThermal printing\u003c\/a\u003e uses a heated print head on coated paper, and the paper darkens where it is heated. That is why the prints are greyscale and why the camera needs no ink. For a child it means a picture in the hand straight away, which can be coloured in, stuck in a scrapbook or given to a friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × rolls of printing paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 × crayons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 32GB memory card, on the options marked 32g only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier does not list a charging cable or a mains adapter in writing.
