No ink Rich, it's all chemicals in the paper.

Like the Polaroid PoGo(TM) Instant Mobile Printer, which hit store shelves in July 2008, the Polaroid PoGo(TM) Instant Digital Camera uses the same ZINK Photo Paper(TM) and ZINK(TM) Zero Ink(TM) Printing Technology from ZINK Imaging. ZINK(TM) Zero Ink(TM) is an ink-free printing technology which replaces ink cartridges or ribbons with ZINK Photo Paper(TM)—a composite material that has embedded, heat-activated dye crystals. Before printing, ZINK Photo Paper(TM) appears white like regular photo paper. Once the pictures are printed, they are immediately dry to the touch, durable and smudge and water resistant.

If it's basically next generation thermal paper, it makes you wonder how long they last and how resistant they are to heat and sunlight.

Regular inkjet ink might fade a little, but you don't have to worry about it going to black if you leave it on a windowsill in the summer.
