Print speed, within reason, isn't really an issue for these little devices. The Sprocket Select's 2.3-by-3.4-inch prints took about 1 minute and 16 seconds each. Among 4-by-6-inch printers, I timed the HP Sprocket Studio at an average of 2 minutes and 5 seconds per print, and the Canon Selphy CP1300 at a faster 1 minute and 2 seconds (over Wi-Fi).
#KODAK PHOTO PRINTER MINI 2 PORTABLE#
Like the Mini 3 Retro, the Mini 2 Retro is faster than many competing portable photo printers, but again, it should be, as its output size is relatively puny.

Like the Mini 3 Retro, the Mini 2 Retro comes in your choice of white, black, or yellow, and in one of two bundles-the $141.99 kit (reviewed here), with enough ink and paper for 68 prints, or a $129.99 starter with enough consumables for only eight photos.Ī side-by-side look at bordered and borderless images.

The Mini 2 Retro's photos are not only attractive but quick and inexpensive, making it a good fit for saving photos from your smartphone if you don't mind the prints' diminutive size. Like the HP and Canon, the two Kodaks use superior dye-sublimation (often called "dye-sub") printing technology instead of the zero-ink (Zink) process of some competitors. Like the Mini 3, the Mini 2 churns out good-looking images, though its prints are only about half the size of the 4-by-6-inch photos produced by Canon's Selphy CP1300 (another PCMag favorite) and HP's Sprocket Studio. The even smaller sibling of the Kodak Mini 3 Retro, a portable printer that won an Editors' Choice award in these digital pages last month, Kodak's Mini 2 Retro Portable Photo Printer ($141.99) produces miniature business-card-size (2.1-by-3.4-inch) snapshots instead of 3-by-3-inch squares.
