This device is downright cute, compatible with iOS and Android and lets users print photos on the go! Millennials should go wild for this thing, as it fits in your pocket and you can customize the photos with filters and virtual 'stickers' using a special app before sending them to print over Bluetooth. Not to mention, you can peel off the back to expose an adhesive -- yes, you can stick them on things! Best of all? It doesn't use any toner or ink! No, it is not magic -- it uses a really cool 'ZINK' technology.

"HP envisions the new device finding popularity with teenagers and millennials who are drawn to fun, stylish gadgets that might be a hit at social events. In fact, that’s precisely where HP sees Sprocket finding its biggest following -- at parties and other gatherings where fun-seekers might be taking selfies or looking at social media posts that they would like to print out, share and take home with them", says HP.
They further explain, "HP ZINK Photo Paper delivers bright, glossy photos without ink or toner cartridges -- all the color required for printing is embedded in the HP ZINK photo paper itself. It delivers printed snaps that are vibrant smudge-proof, water-resistant, and tear-resistant. Peel off the backing, and the photos become stickers to decorate bags, scrapbooks, journals, and walls".

The Sprocket retails for $129 in two colour options: White-Rose Gold & Black-Silver. While the printer itself is reasonably priced, the photo paper come in a little expensive. The first 10 come free with the next sets of 20 priced at $10!
