Tech Tuesdays: "Enfojer lets you develop photographic prints straight from your smartphone"


The Enfojer is a stand that allows you to print black and white photographic prints straight from your smartphone. It is compatible with any smartphone under 141 x 71mm (5.55 x 2.80in) in size. In addition, there is an app that was created for the Enfojer that lets you edit the photo before you print it and guides you through the process.


After the photo is edited, all you need to do is insert the smartphone into the enclosure screen side down. Next, focus the image with adjustable lenses onto the photographic paper placed underneath the stand, and then push a button to begin the printing process. Its takes about 6 minutes to expose a photograph onto a silver halide photographic paper. And due to the imperfections in the paper and the chemistry involved in the development of the photograph, each print achieve a unique look. 


The Enfojer kit includes most of the equipment needed such as the stand, trays, and battery-powered red light. However, the kit does not include the chemicals required to develop the photographs due to the difficulties of shipping chemicals overseas. An Indiegogo campaign has already been launched in order to raise funds for this project.  The Enfojer stand can be secured with a payment of $200 and the first shipment of Enfojers is set for February.
