HP wants to help you make memories that last with the Sprocket Select portable printer

A Sprocket for your pocket

Do you know what’s better than making digital memories? Making real ones that won’t vanish when our social media overlords go kaput. That seems to be the inspiration behind the Sprocket Select (£119), the new instant photo printer from HP. Designed for smartphones, the portable Select can churn out high-quality, wallet-sized prints (2.3in x 3.4in) in a snap – all of which can be customised beforehand with stickers and frames. The compatible Sprocket app has also been updated to allow for printing straight from social media, and can also be used to edit photos with filters or combine multiple images into a lovely collage. Oh, and if you’re worried about burdening the enrivonment with yet more paper-crunching tech, you’ll be pleased to hear the Select has been built with over 50 percent recycled plastic and uses recyclable ZINK paper for its prints.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
