Today, I got hyped on a printer. HP’s new pocket-sized Sprocket printer
made me smile; it made me laugh; and it became my favorite distraction.
Sure, my interest in it is already waning, but wow a real laugh. That’s
more excitement than most gadgets have inspired in me lately.
The Sprocket is HP’s answer to portable instant printers
that print photos from your phone. These have existed for a while, and
HP’s printer doesn’t create as high of quality prints as other products,
like Fujifilm’s competing printer. I love the Sprocket, though, because its companion iOS / Android app easily lets me create vaporwave
photos. I tried to make my photos as ugly as possible while also
keeping them acceptably nice and ironic. I am thrilled with the results.
I’m not sure if jokes were HP’s intention, but whoever designed the
stickers, borders, filters, and font choices seemed to have a good idea
of what would play well with "millennials" (me).
