How to replace the printer paper for the Kodak Printomatic
The Kodak Printomatic is a fun way to capture your memories and keep them on something physical, in this case, Zink paper. But at 10 sheets, you'll need to replace the Zink paper in your camera fairly regularly. Here's how you do that.
Products used in this guide
- Get the camera: Kodak Printomatic ($70 at Amazon)
- Get the paper: Kodak 2-by-3-inch Zink Photo Paper (20 Sheets) ($10 at Amazon)
How to replace the printer paper for the Kodak Printomatic
- Slide the latch down on the paper compartment door and hold it in place.
- Open the paper compartment door.
- Remove your new pack of Zink paper from its wrapper.
- Be sure to keep the blue Color Calibration Sheet with the rest of the pack.
- Place the entire pack of Zink paper down, with the blue Color Calibration Sheet inserted into the camera first with the bar code facing down.
- Close the paper compartment door.
There you go, you've now replaced the paper in your Kodak Printomatic. Do note that the first time you take a picture with this pack, the blue Color Calibration Sheet will eject first, with your photo printing immediately afterward.
What you'll need
To do this, you'll need both the Kodak Printomatic and the 2-by-3-inch Zink paper that it uses.
The camera
Kodak Printomatic
Snap and print your memories
The Kodak Printomatic lets you instantly print the photos you take. It uses Zink paper, so you never need to worry about changing out an ink cartridge, nor do you need to be concerned with smudging your prints.
Featuring a simple and boldly colorful design, the Kodak Printomatic is a fun way to capture and print photos at the moment. It features a 10-megapixel sensor for photo taking, its flash will automatically engage in low light situations, and it holds up to 10 sheets of Zink paper at a time.
The paper
Kodak 2-by-3-inch Zink Photo Paper
The paper you need to print quickly from your Printomatic
The Zink name comes from "Zero Ink," so you don't need to use any sort of ink cartridge when using it in the Printomatic. Instead, it uses tiny crystals heated in a specific way by the printer to recreate the image.
Zink paper is a great way to print instant photos. Not only will you be able to quickly print, but it's also smudge-proof, as it doesn't use any ink. This also means that you don't have to wait for the photo to settle properly as you do with actual instant film.

Protect your AirPods in style with $11 off Twelve South's AirSnap case
Clip it to your bag and you'll never be without your favorite wireless headphones.
Over at Amazon, you can take $11 off Twelve South's AirSnap case for AirPods for a limited time. That discount is thanks to a $5 price drop to $19.99 coupled with an on page coupon for a further $6 off. The initial price reduction is actually the first time we've seen this case go below $20 and the extra $6 makes this a total no-brainer. The deal only applies to the black version.
The full-grain leather case is designed to fit your AirPods perfectly. It's got a fold-over, snapping top flap to secure everything in place and a handy carabiner clip on the outside so you can dangle it from your bag, zipper tie, or belt loop. It also has a cutaway at the bottom so you can charge up your AirPods without having to remove them from the case.
I've had my AirPods for two years and not getting a case for them has been my only regret. AirPods are awesome and super convenient, and because of that you want to take them everywhere. But my charging case is now discolored from being inside my jeans pocket all the time and the lint that gathers in the hinge is the bane of my life. Twelve South makes Apple accessories of an exceptional quality, so if you're going to get a case for your AirPods it should be this one.
Existing owners give AirSnap a 4.2 out of 5 star rating on average.

Niantic’s Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is a sorcerous smorgasbord for the Pokémon GO generation
Niantic’s follow-up to the absurdly popular Pokémon GO, the long-awaited Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, has one major drawback: unlike its predecessor, you can’t explain it in a single sentence. There’s so much to do in this game that it may repel some casual players — but while its depths of systems and collectibles may be nigh endless, don’t worry: you still basically just walk around doing wizard and witch stuff.
I got to spend a short time playing the game at Niantic’s office in San Francisco, and while they didn’t reveal all their secrets, I saw enough to convince me that HP:WU (I await a catchier nickname, like PoGO) will be a huge time sink for any Harry Potter fan and will probably convert or cannibalize many players from GO.
If you were worried this would be a slapdash cash-in effort like some of the HP tie-ins we’ve seen… don’t be. This is legit. Rowling isn’t involved, and the voice actors are sound-alikes, but still legit.
And just to get some of the major facts out of the way before we move on: it’s coming out sometime in 2019 (I’d guess before Summer but they wouldn’t say), in 17 languages (listed at bottom; actual countries where it’ll be offered unknown), there’s no wand accessory yet (I asked and they all looked nervous), minimum specs are reasonable and AR is optional, and it’s free but there are in-app purchases.
So what is this game? While it would be misleading to say it’s just HP:GO, the similarities are deep. But there’s a lot more going on. Perhaps I’d best summarize it in bullet point form before I embark on the many details. In HP:WU you:
- Walk around a wizarding-themed version of the real world looking for locations at which to resupply and “foundables” to encounter
- Dispel, battle, or otherwise deal with the “confoundable” associated with these
- Earn reward items from encounters and for entering foundables in your registry
- Use reward items to level up in various professions, brew potions, and battle alongside others at “fortresses”
- Find rare foundables that advance the overall plot of why this is all happening anyway
So let’s take that piece by piece.
(By the way: The few images I have here were provided by Niantic and Portkey Games, the studio under WB Games who co-developed the game; I actually saw much more than what the shots show, so if something I describe isn’t illustrated directly, don’t worry — it’s in there.)
Walkable Wizarding World
Yes, this was the only image of the map we got.
“For Harry Potter fans, the line between the real world and the wizarding world is paper thin,” said WB Games’s Jonathan Knight. So they wanted to make it seem like, as with the pervasive hidden nooks and secrets of the HP world, “magic is all around you.”
The plot that enables all this is that, in a post-Deathly Hallows HP world, a macguffin event has caused magical items and creatures to appear all over the muggle world, threatening to expose the existence of magic; Witches and wizards are being recruited to track these things down and deal with them.
Conveniently, the event snatched these things and people from all throughout history and the world, laying them down willy-nilly — so you’re just as likely to find Fleur Delacoeur as Hermione Granger, or a young Dumbledore as an old one.
As a member of the SOS squad (enforcing the “Statute Of Secrecy” mandating separation between the magic and muggle worlds, you know), you’re tasked with tracking down these various things wherever they appear and reporting back to the ministry.
The map is, like in Pokémon GO, where you’ll be spending most of your time.
As before, it reflects the streets and features nearby: streets, parks, landmarks, and so on. It’s decidedly busier this time, however, both with gameplay elements and set dressing. Brooms and owls zip overhead, potion ingredients clutter the ground around you, and locations to visit sprinkle every block. (Although I’d hoped they’d use the Marauder’s Map aesthetic, they were probably right not to: it would probably get old fast.)
You interact with these locations as you would spin Pokéstops in GO, with “inns” and “greenhouses” giving you a semi-randomized reward every time (and starting a 5-minute cooldown). Encounters and ingredients pop up like Pokémon did, appearing semi-randomly but with some tendencies or affinities — for example, you’re more likely to find school-related foundables by actual schools, and so on. These places are helpfully noted by a little flag that highlights the affected area, such as: “Golden Gate Park – you’ll encounter more magical creatures here.”
The equivalent to lures are “dark detectors,” which will cause encounters to pop up with more frequency around the location you attach it to — and you can stack them! These will no doubt be a popular purchase.
One nice touch: when you move quickly, your character flies on a broom. No more “running” along the highway. That always did bug me.
Of course you’ll also be able to customize your appearance, and you even get to make a (non-public) “wizarding passport” complete with a moving photo you can outfit with various AR props. Your Hogwarts house is just something you select and which has no gameplay effect — for now.
Swish and flick
When you tap an encounter, you enter an AR minigame where you may, for instance, have to cast a spell to free Buckbeak the gryphon from a magical ball and chain, or defeat a monster threatening a character from the books.
You do this generally by tracing a shape with your finger on the screen to cast a spell. You don’t get to choose the spell, unfortunately, it’s built into the encounter. The more accurate and quick your trace is, the better the power of the spell — a bit like throw quality in Pokémon.
It’s similar in combat except you’ll also have to quickly cast protego when the enemy attacks you. That’s right, there are hostiles in this game! And although you can’t “die,” running out of stamina will fail the encounter or mission. More combat options open up later, though, as you’ll see. Encounters also vary in difficulty, which can be determined from the map or within the encounter — you may find some foes or rescues are beyond your power until you pump up a bit (or quaff a potion).
There are other little twists on the formula, though — the team said they have over 100 unique encounters, all fully realized in AR. And although you can only interact with them from a sweet spot that appears on the ground in AR, you can take your time to walk around or closely inspect the scene.
Foundables and confoundables and the other 20 things
There are a ton of these little pages.
Everything you’ll encounter is a foundable, and falls under one of numerous categories: magic zoology, dark arts, oddities, magical games and sports, Hogwarts, and so on.
And every foundable is listed in a sort of sticker book you’ll fill in bit by bit as you encounter them. Free Buckbeak however many times and it’ll be fully filled in, giving you various bonuses and, perhaps more importantly, the ability to take AR photos with the creature or character in question.
The creatures and characters range from common to very rare, of course, and you’ll need to get dozens of the former to fill in the book, but only one or a handful for certain plot-related items. They only shared the bare bones of the story, which will be revealed through in-game text and events, but a “deep, multi-year narrative arc” is promised. You can probably expect new foundables and ingredients and such to be added regularly.
One detail I found highly compelling was that weather, time of day, and even astral phenomena like moon phase will affect what you encounter. So for instance, werewolves may only come out on the full moon, while certain potion ingredients only appear (or appear more) when it’s raining, or in the evening. This kind of real-world involvement is something I’ve always appreciated and one that Niantic’s games are uniquely suited to take advantage of.
Potions will be necessary for healing and buffing yourself and others, so you’ll want to collect ingredients all the time; you mix them in a sub-screen, and can follow recipes or try your luck making something new.
One very cool thing they showed off that doesn’t really show well in images is a Portkey — you know, the objects in HP that transport you from here to there. It’s not exactly a canon treatment in the game, as they create portals instead, but it makes for a great AR experience. You put the portal down and literally step through it, then look around at a new scene (for instance, Ollivander’s shop or Dumbledore’s office) in which you can find items or presumably encounter monsters and other stuff. Portkey “Portmanteaus” are a bit like egg incubators in that you charge them up by walking, and can find or buy more powerful ones.
Min-maxing managed
What perhaps surprised me most in the team’s presentation of the various systems of the game was the extent of the stats and professions. There are three “professions,” they explained: auror, magical zoologist, and professor (“if you’re a bit of a goody-goody” — I resent that).
I figured these would be a bit like a play style bonus — one gives you more combat prowess, another is better for taming creatures, and so on. Boy, is there a lot more to it than that!
First of all, you should know that you have stats in this game. And not weird hidden ones or a relatively meaningless one like your trainer level in Pokémon GO. No, you have a straight-up stat screen filled with all kinds of stuff.
And your profession isn’t just a bonus or special ability — it’s a whole skill tree, and one to rival those of many a “serious” RPG.
As in many other games, some nodes are simple things like an increase in stamina or spell power — some you can even upgrade several times to increase the effect. But others are entirely new abilities you’ll be able to use in various circumstances. I probed through a bunch in my limited time and found things that, for instance, healed allies, debuffed enemies, improved potion effectiveness, etc. These are definitely going to have a significant effect on gameplay.
You can advance in any of the professions you want, however you want, though of course the further you progress down a tree, the more powerful abilities you unlock. You do this with tokens you earn from encounters, leveling, and challenges, so you get a steady trickle. It should take a good while to fill these out, though no doubt we’ll have some real tiresome types who’ll do it in a week.
Fortress of Jollitude
(It’s a portmanteau of solitude and jolly cooperation, because this is the teamplay part… let me have my fun.)
The last major aspect of the game is Fortresses. These are a bit like Gyms from Pokémon GO, in that they are multiplayer focused, but for now they’re strictly player vs enemy.
Fortresses are large, obvious locations on the map where you and up to four other players can join battle against a host of enemies in order to receive rare foundables and other rewards. How it works is that you and whoever else wants to play get within range of the Fortress and tap it. (They didn’t provide any images of one, inside or out, but you can see the roof of one just at the top left of the paw circle in the map image above.)
You’ll then have a chance to join up with others by presenting a special item called a runestone. You’ll be getting these from normal encounters now and then or a few other sources, and there are 10 different kinds with multiple rarities — and depending on which you use, or which combination your team presents, the Fortress will have any of a variety of challenges and encounter types. (I only saw combat.)
This is where the combat complexity comes in, because all the enemies are presented to all the players at once, and you can take on whichever you choose. Have you leveled your magical creature taming? You better take on that hippogriff. Do extra damage against human foes? You’re on Death Eater duty. Stocked up on spells that hinder opponents or heal allies? You can use them from the select screen in real time, for instance if your friend is about to be knocked flat by a high-level Dementor and needs a hand.
I only got to test a small amount of this, but the possibilities for actual strategy and team synergy were very exciting, especially compared to the extended slugfests of Pokémon GO raids.
“Your forever Harry Potter game”
That’s how the team described Wizards Unite, and although a small-screen experience will never equal the immersion or magic (so to speak) of the cinema or the richness of the books, this does look like a dandy game and it will certainly be a heck of a time sink for countless players worldwide.
I only got to see a few minutes of the game in person, so there are parts I missed and parts that weren’t being shown; for instance, your Hogwarts house will likely figure later in multiplayer games, and more abilities are on the way.
I worry a bit that the simplicity and casual serendipity that defined Pokémon GO have been abandoned for a level of complexity that may be daunting for some. Yet at the same time I worry that the grind of collecting however many Buckbeaks you need to complete a page of the registry isn’t as satisfying as catching (and grinding up) a dozen Charmanders to power up your favorite ‘mon. And the AR experiences so far exhibit much visual variety but (that I saw) didn’t differ much from one another except in the trace you had to draw.
But there’s a great deal here and a great deal to like. It’s new, it’s fun, and it’s HP. I know I’m going to be playing.
(Lastly, the game will be released in the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Danish, Turkish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japenese, Korean, and Latin American Spanish.)

Darksiders Warmastered Edition: Everything you need to know
Bring on the apocalypse (admittedly unwillingly) when Darksiders Warmastered Edition finally arrives on the Nintendo Switch.
War, Death, Strife, and Fury have returned to the world, and are now making their home on the Nintendo Switch in Darksiders Warmastered Edition. THQ Nordic's fantastical imagining of characters from the Book of Revelation has been redone to look better than its original edition while still retelling a story that set off an eventual successful trilogy of games.
There isn't much new in Darksiders Warmastered Edition, but if you're a first-timer to the games, here's what you need to know:
What is Darksiders?
Darksiders is a hack-and-slash action title originally released back in 2010 that has since turned into a three-game series, with the most recent entry out last year (though not on the Switch). The games all follow the same parallel sequence of events on Earth, Heaven, and Hell, and each puts the player in control of one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
In the first game, the player takes control of War, who is blamed for starting an apocalypse on Earth. But War is innocent and sets out on a journey 100 years in the future to determine who truly caused the event and clear his name. He is accompanied by The Watcher, who ensures that he focuses on his mission and doesn't get distracted.
How do you play?
In Darksiders, you play as War, initially equipped with your trusty sword Chaoseater. The game melds elements of both hack-and-slash and action-adventure games. You'll spend some of your time exploring different areas, returning to your hub, the Center of the World, in between to unlock new areas and acquire information. In each area, you'll explore various paths, jump, climb, find hidden items, and activate certain puzzles or interactable elements to progress.
Throughout each area, you'll encounter enemies in waves that you'll have to take down with either Chaoseater or some of the other distinct weapons you'll acquire later that can change the speed, power, and effects of your attacks. War can execute combos using different types of attacks, counter, dodge, jump, and use environmental objects as weapons or projectiles. In addition, War is capable of using magic to attack at range, and executing powerful finishing moves when enemies get weak.
For even more power, War can activate a Chaos Form that takes very little damage and deals out quite a bit. This form is available whenever War's Chaos Meter fills from performing various actions in battle, and will only last for a limited time.
By defeating enemies or opening chests, War can acquire souls that will heal him, fill his meters, or act as currency to purchase new powers, weapons, and abilities that he can use in battle.
What's new in the Warmastered Edition?
Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot extra in the Darksiders Warmastered Edition. The game has been remastered, improving the visuals and framerate, and details such as lighting, shadows, rendering, and textures should all look much nicer than on the original PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. But there is no new content in the game to speak of.
That said, if you haven't played Darksiders before, its Nintendo Switch release is a good place to jump into the series, especially with a fairly recent third entry. Though Darksiders II and III are not available on the Switch, Darksiders II has received a remastered version just like its predecessor that was released on PS4 and Xbox One, meaning there may be hope we see it make it to the Nintendo Switch as well.
When can I get it?
Darksiders Warmastered Edition is planned for launch on the Nintendo Switch on April 2, 2019. It will cost $29.99.
Any questions before the apocalypse?

HQ Trivia’s first live event was ruined by people who weren’t in the audience
HQ Trivia made “quiz-tory” this week when it hosted its first live, in-person game with a $10,000 prize. Host Scott Rogowsky flew into Austin, Texas, to host the show (donned in a full HQ-branded suit) at Comcast NBCUniversal’s SXSW pop-up. Prior to the start, HQ projected a one-time link to the live show on a screen, which audience members had to load in order to compete. I thought they’d bring contestants onstage to make it more of a live experience; instead, everyone played along on their phones as Rogowsky cued the questions from an iPad.
Naturally, people took photos of the stage (and the screen with the link) before the show began and shared those images on social media. This meant that players who weren’t in Austin or at the...

LG might sell a pod-based ice cream-making gadget in the future
I wasn’t looking for pod-related gadgets, but, somehow, they found me. LG hosted a pop-up at SXSW this year where it showed off a few new prototypes, although it mostly demoed new models of its CLOi line of home robots. Naturally, LG also brought something called the Snow White to the festival: an at-home ice cream machine that requires capsules to produce a treat.
The machine requires two pods: one for flavor and another for a base texture, which determines whether you’re making sorbet, ice cream, or gelato. Every capsule has a QR code printed on it that’ll tell the machine what to make. The person demoing this device didn’t know what ingredients were inside the capsules, except for shelf-safe pasteurized milk, nor how cold the machine...
