Does the Kodak Step need ink?

No. It uses Zink paper with dye crystals built in, so there are no ink cartridges or ribbons. You only replace the paper.

What size photos does it print?

It prints 2x3-inch photos on Zink paper with a sticky back. It cannot print larger sizes.

How many prints per charge?

The built-in lithium-ion battery is rated for about 25 prints on a full charge. Charge it over USB before a trip.

Does it work with iPhone and Android?

Yes. It connects over Bluetooth and NFC to iOS and Android phones and tablets using the free Kodak app.

Can I print without the app?

No. You edit and send photos through the Kodak app, which also handles collages, filters and stickers.

How does it compare with the HP Sprocket?

Both are 2x3 Zink printers with sticky paper and phone apps. The Step is simpler and cheaper-feeling, while the Sprocket adds a small display on some models.
