PoooliPrint Z1 Color Photo Camera
I'll start by saying I have a black and white printer and one of their color printers, both of those work great, which is what lead me to this next purchase. The PoooliPrint Z1 Color Photo Camera IS NOT WORTH IT! I've even messaged their customer service and have no answers, and am not allowed to return it. The camera itself doesn't not take good quality pictures, and because of that, can't print good quality pictures. I got the camera because I wanted to take it on the go, so that didn't work. It says it can Bluetooth to your phone, but it at least can't to mine. When I try, it says it's "region locked" and can't. So that stops me from printing off the good pictures from my phone. Lastly, you are only allowed to take 50 pictures with this camera, then it stops. You have to Bluetooth it to your phone, and use this app, to do something to it, to allow you to take more pictures. I assume it's like an update or something, but since I can't Bluetooth, I have no idea. Since I can't Bluetooth, it literally makes this camera useless after the 50 pictures, it's just dead. Also I can't return it because I printed a picture from it already. That counts as "used" and they won't take used products back. How are you supposed to know it works if not. So anyways, don't buy it.

Hi Schuyler, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the PoooliPrint Z1 Color Photo Camera. We truly appreciate that you’ve already used and enjoyed our other Poooli products, and we regret that this purchase did not meet your expectations. Regarding the image quality, the Z1 is designed as a portable instant-style camera and printer, so the print resolution is different from that of standard photo printers. However, the results should still be clear and enjoyable, and what you described does not sound like the experience we want our customers to have. The Bluetooth issue you mentioned—especially the “region locked” message—is not expected behavior. In most cases, this can be resolved through the Poooli app connection process or by ensuring the correct version of the app and firmware are installed. Similarly, the 50-photo limit is part of the camera’s initial setup process and should be removed automatically once the device connects to the app for activation. We would really like the opportunity to help resolve this for you. Please reach out to our support team again at [email protected]. If possible, including your phone model and a screenshot of the “region locked” message will help us troubleshoot the issue quickly. We appreciate you giving Poooli another try, and we hope to help get your Z1 working the way it was intended. Best regards, Poooli Customer Support Team
