Kodak photo printer mini 2 refill portable#

It would be wrong to expect a portable printer to eke out laser printer-like quality. Plus, Zink photo papers are adhesive-backed, waterproof and smudge-resistant. Hence, you get the photos and pictures out immediately ( takes around 35-40 seconds). This hassle-free printing technology uses heat to add color and develop the picture instantly. Interestingly, the HP Rocket uses Zink technology to print photos. So, if you’re looking to print photos quickly (such as photo booth sessions), this printer is certainly not the one for the job.

As per the folks at PC Mag, an 2 x 3-inch print took more than a minute to print.

Naturally, this process takes its own time to spit out the photos. When the first layer is printed, the device pulls back the photo paper and puts the second layer, and so on it goes till the fourth layer is reached. If you must know, D2T2 technology carrying printers use four passes to print. While the Kotak Mini uses D2T2 (Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer), the Sprocket uses Zink paper to print photos. When it comes to the printing mechanism, both printers use different technologies. But seeing the battery complaints, this is the only way forward if you choose to buy it. I know, it defeats the purpose of a ‘portable’ printer. So unless you are planning to use it for an outdoor event, a good plan would be to keep it hooked to a power source while using it. However, many users have reported the battery going for a toss as a majority of users are complaining about the printer refusing to charge completely. Similar to that, the Mini can also be charged via a micro USB cable and usable while charging. It features a micro USB port for charging it, and the good news is that even if the printer runs out of juice, you can still use it while hooked to a power source. If you switch it on only when you need to use it, then you do not have to worry about it much. That said, I would urge you to be careful with the battery as the reviews about the battery life aren’t that great. Thankfully, the app comes with a feature called Auto-off, which shuts down the device after a certain time. Hence, it’s advisable to keep it off when not in use else the printer will drain the battery. That should be sufficient to give you around 10 prints. When it comes to battery life, the Sprocket 200 comes with a 550mAh battery.

However, this one doesn’t support NFC, and Bluetooth is the only way to connect it to the printer.

Once you download the Sprocket app, you’ll be shown the recent pictures on your phone. Setting this printer is as easy as pairing it to the Bluetooth of your phone. On the other hand, the HP Sprocket 200 comes with Bluetooth 5.0.

So if you have a compatible Android phone, you can tap it against the printer to connect it. Other then that, the Mini comes equipped with NFC. All you have to do is switch it on and connect the printer to your phone via the direct Wi-Fi network. While most photo printers connect via Bluetooth, the Mini lets you connect over Wi-Fi and NFC. Other then that, the LED indicators notify you of simple operations like printing, charging, or when the battery is full. The body has neat little design at the top, which undoubtedly gives it a trendy (and pretty) look. However, the feature that I love about it the most is its looks.

It measures 4.6 x 3.1 x 1 inches roughly and weighs about 6.1 ounces. On the other hand, the HP Sprocket 200 is slightly smaller than its counterpart. Plus, there are two indicator lights to notify you about the power and battery level. On the upside, the metallic finish on one of the color variant does its bit to boost its looks. Though the Mini is available in three different colors, at the end of the day, it resembles a rectangular brick. If we were to talk numbers, it measures roughly 7.5 x 3.8 x 2 inches. It weighs about 8.3 ounces, meaning that you can easily carry it around. Thankfully, the Mini is light and doesn’t weigh much.

Another thing that is of utmost importance is its weight.

DesignĪs we mentioned above, the small pocket-sized design is the crux of these printers. Well, that’s what we are going to find out in this post today when we compare the Kodak Mini Printer against the Sprocket 200. And this begets the question if the Sprocket 200 portable photo printer is worth the upgrade, or should you stick to the older Kodak Mini?
