HP delivers pocket-sized printer named Sprocket

Device allows one to print photos stored on a phone or straight from social media accounts

said Stephane Rogier, head of printing business at HP.

Sprocket is priced at Dh499 and the special paper of 5 x 7cm costs Dh79 for a pack of 50 sheets.

The company which launched the world’s smallest all-in-one printer last Gitex is bringing in with new colours this year for Dh255 and two other all-in-one deskjet printers for Dh429 and Dh389.

Rogier said that the Sprocket does not have a cartridge and so uses no ink. It uses a special paper known as Zink special photo paper. The photo that comes out is instantly dry and smudge proof. The paper is also a sticker and can be stuck on the wall or fridge.

The editing tools of the app can slap funky stickers all over your pictures before printing, as well as captions.

It has a built-in rechargeable battery.
