HP Sprocket 2nd Edition

HP's Sprocket 2nd Edition portable photo printer comes with a host of new features, and it costs less to buy and to use than the original Sprocket. But most impressive is the improved print quality with its ink-free ZINK paper.

Impressive print quality. Lower price and running costs than original Sprocket. Expressive colors. Sprocket App has lots of new functionality. Nascent augmented-reality aspects.

A few features (notably, multi-user connections and print queue) are under-developed.

Bottom Line: HP's Sprocket 2nd Edition portable photo printer costs less than the original and stands out with its unique design and quirky AR angle. But most impressive is the improved print quality.
