Nearly 80 years ago, a 3-year-old girl wanted to see a photo of her family vacation right after it was taken. But she couldn’t, because instant cameras weren’t invented yet.

That moment sparked the idea for the instant camera, invented by Edward Land and inspired by his daughter, Jennifer Land. Debuting in 1943, instant film cameras have long been a photographic staple for anyone who loves memorabilia and keepsake moments.

A portable mini photo printer

The digital age all but did away with many of the nostalgic wonders of the past. But the HP Sprocket Portable Instant Photo Printer is here to bring back this blast from the past with modern technology. This instant mini photo printer churns out beautiful, crystal-clear color prints from your electronic devices instantly through the Sprocket App. And it’s available now for just $79.99.

HP packed its latest technology into a package the size of a smartphone. The Sprocket weighs less than a pound, meaning it can go with you on every adventure that awaits. The Sprocket prints 2-inch-by-3-inch sticky-backed photos that can decorate your walls, cork board, fridge, laptop or any other place you’d like to see friendly faces and landscapes.

Even better, the Sprocket App lets you customize photos with borders, stickers and photo filters, which is something you can’t do with a classic instant film camera. Because Sprocket connects directly to its app, you can even print photos directly from your social media.

The HP Sprocket app serves as your portable photo center, allowing you to view image libraries from the app, share photo albums, and get virtual recommendations. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and an automatic sleep mode, the Sprocket connects to devices with ease and preserves battery for prolonged use.
