HP Sprocket Studio Instant Photo Printer - 4x6” Pictures from Smartphone & Social Media w/ HP App. UK Plug

Product Information

Few models at this level offer PictBridge connectors or USB flash drive ports or SD card slots, because the assumption is that serious photographers will want to tweak their images before printing from photo-editing programs on their PCs or Macs. For printing photos from digital devices or memory cards, any one of these Canon 4X6 Photo Printers would be enough for any professional photographer. Some offer just a single USB connector; others add an Ethernet jack for easy sharing on an office network. In our testing, the speeds were impressive, with the printer handling a 5-page text document in around 30 seconds. You see, while HP isn’t exactly known for its photography equipment, they’re world-renowned for its printers.

The device works fine with HP’s proprietary HP Smart App, which is available for both Android and iOS.Colour output on glossy paper is simply spectacular, easing ahead of Epson’s larger-format 6-ink photo printers, and the Canon also delivers very convincing output for both colour and mono photo prints on matte and fine art media. The Epson 4×6 photo printer, the PictureMate PM-400, is a fantastic photo printer if you want the option to print a little larger, at 5×7 inches, or are wanting to print at volume for a photo booth or similar. Finding the best 4×6 photo printer depends on what you are expecting from your printer – do you want something portable, quick or easy to use, or are you more concerned with overall image quality? The PM-400 also boasts many connectivity options, from Wi-Fi and USB to their optional app as well as Google Cloud Print, AirPrint, and Remote Print.

On the contrary, it’s easy to set up, and it prints photos in very good quality, comparable to that of the Kodak Dock Plus. The Kodak Dock is a very handy, easy-to-use instant portable printer that can print in sizes up to 4×6 inches.It comes with a linen cover that folds over the printer to make it look like a fat book with a hardcover.

Very broadly, pigment inks last longer without fading, but dye inks tend to give richer, denser colors and sink deeper into the paper surface.There’s a lot to love about this new Epson printer, although it’s incredibly similar to the previous XP-960 model. This isn’t the smallest to fit in your pockets, but it is definitely the compact option that makes the carrying job easy. We check the suitability for wide-ranging tasks from printing office documents to high-end photographic output and, consequently, the type and quantity of dye/pigment inks.
