Otherwise, the device should comfortably stand the strains expected of a portable device. At a typical street cost of just under 15, prints are quite expensive at about 60p each, but still cheaper than Polaroid prints. Having said that, some recent inkjet photo printers use small enough dots for little sign of the dithering to be apparent. This is significantly smaller than a typical photographic print from a high-street processor. The printer is incredibly simple to use.
Paper is loaded into a small cartridge and a small ribbon module is inserted into the machine.
You can switch between slots if both card types are present, but SmartMedia always takes priority. You can print up to 30 images on an index print but they are, obviously, very small. You can also choose between a normal, sharpened or softened print. You will have to be careful, however, to follow the correct file naming conventions as used by digital cameras, or the printer will not recognise the files. The P-200 is clearly designed as a portable printer, so it's a bit disappointing that neither the battery nor the carrying case are included as standard.
