Why stop at taking the perfect selfie when you can spend less than a minute or two to print it?

Shoppers at Gitex seem to be asking themselves the same question as the popularity of small portable printers is at an all-time high.

HP's entry into the world of 'pocket printers' revolves around their Sprocket Photo Printer. Priced at Dh499, the tiny printer is the size of a small wallet.

Another popular portable printer is the Canon Selphy CP1200 Wireless Compact Photo Printer. Available at the Sharaf DG stand, the printer is priced at Dh399 and comes with a packet of 54 sheets of printing paper.
However, when it comes to cool retro devices, Fuji's Instax Mini cameras reign supreme with their bold eye-catching colours and nostalgic Polaroid feel. Priced at Dh349 at the Jumbo stand, the instant cameras have been a huge hit among users. Sharaf DG also has a few models on offer, with a bundle deal for the Instax Mini 9 that costs Dh389 and comes with 30 free sheets of printing paper.
