I love this , can send photos straight from my phone to the printer and get a clear photo, the photos are passport size but very clear.
I really rate this
There are things to be careful of I. E getting the right paper and ensuring the machine doesn’t get too hot as this effects the darkness of your photos.
If you are planning to sit and print hundreds of photos then I wouldnt recommend. But for the odd few every now and then you’ll get a great result from this product. Easy to use.
Granddaughters(ages 4&7) love this little printer, really easy to use
When I bought this, I wasn’t expecting brilliant picture quality – I have been pleasantly surprised. I bought it so I could stick photos in my journal for the photography course I’m doing. It’s excellent for that purpose, and so much more besides. My fridge is now covered in photos! The photo printouts are great quality. The app is also really good, I’ve never seen such a wide selection of frames in any other photo app. I am very pleased with this purchase.
This little photo printer is for those who want to recapture the magic of the Polaroid camera back in the day, but with a modern twist.
I like that it requires no ink, instead using the mystical powers of the photographic printing deities to produce your image on a 2×3 adhesive photo.
It’s easy to set up if you’re already used to Bluetooth devices (download the Sprocket app first).
The print quality is ok for the casual photo project, such as scrap booking or photo journaling, but it can look a little washed out or oversaturated compared to the image on your screen.
It fits neatly in your pocket, it’s no bigger than a smartphone just a little chunkier. You can easily put it in your bag or pocket for party nights or fun days out.
I love this little gizmo and I honestly use it every day for my journal, because who doesn’t want to know what you ate on a random Saturday afternoon in 2023 when you’re 80?!
Easy to use, great print quality and convenient. I found this little gadget seriously impressive
The fact there is no ink in the printer and all is with the zinc paper is amazing but also why not a 5 star item a great gift for my daughter and the 2×3 inch is a great item for her to capture images of her friends.
Great printer, prints clear pictures. Wish I got a bigger size printer. Don’t buy bundle pack as the cards don’t fit the printer!!!
Photo quality is so-so – very slightly grainy, especially dark areas of the picture – better than a home ink jet printer, but nowhere near as good as a professional photo.
Zink paper isn’t cheap, but you don’t need to buy additional ink. You can peel the back off your picture to stick in an album or your journal. And you have your picture within seconds.
Did I need to buy this? Absolutely not.
Am I glad I bought it? 100% yes.
Edit: I had been watching YouTube and many users had commented that they had improved the quality of their prints by editing their photos. I thought this looked a faff, and it would be expensive to experiment- not worth it just to put in my journal. One person suggested something much simpler – and it seems to work: retain the blue card from the zink packet, and put it underneath the remaining sheets of paper. This somehow recalibrates the printer (no, I don’t know either) and my next prints were sharper and more saturated, with no annoying streaks – much more in line with a “proper” photo. If you aren’t 100% happy with the quality, and want a very simple fix, this could be worth a try – just remember to not throw away the blue HP sheet from the packet of paper.
Really easy to load paper and print pics using the app. Colour is slightly darker than on screen, but not too bad. I use this for journaling and it’s a great little printer.
Great little printer for my grandaughter. very good quick delivery.
I really love this product, it’s just a shame that it doesn’t like taking the same type and size of paper from other manufacturers. I’m sure they put something in the code on the blue card to mess it up! Works a dream with HP paper though.
Very easy to use once you have set it up which doesn’t take long, basically just have to get the app and link your phone through Bluetooth from what I can remember. The actual printer is about the size of a phone if not a bit smaller in length than most phones nowadays, it is a bit thicker but you could still easily carry it around with you or in your bag. I also really like the pattern and design of it and it’s cool that you can customize the colour of the light.
The App, I personally have never had a problem with and think it’s quite good. Once it’s set up, it basically links to your phones gallery or camera roll and you can print photos through that, or you can helpfully link it to your Instagram or Facebook if you wanted to print anything you have posted on there. There is also a decent amount of editing you can do of the pictures on the app, such as putting filters, titles, borders or even stickers on top of your photo’s. And as I mentioned before, you can even customize a few things on the body of your sprocket like the light. Additionally, there is also a link on the app to where you can buy more paper which is helpful, but seeing as I’m in the UK I just use Amazon.
Not an expert in making prints but they seem pretty good quality to me. The downside is they are a little small, around 75mm in height by 50mm in width, which compared to my phone (Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus) is about half the height and a bit less wide. However, they do have their plus’s in that you can peel off the back which is really good for sticking to things you want to decorate, good size to go in your wallet, or I give them to people as little gifts for making memories.
The printer paper is a little expensive, but to be honest, you can’t really get away from spending a lot if you want to make prints, plus for me, I didn’t want to go through the process of getting them developed so being able to take the picture and then print it instantly is a big plus. Also, it could have changed, but from when I was looking in May 2021 this was one of the portable printers which had the cheapest paper to buy more of, which you will inevitably need to especially if you use it a lot.
Tips:
– Would definitely recommend buying more paper when you first get it, as you will probably use the ones it comes with just testing it out when you first get it, I bought a 20 pack as I saw another review that suggested I do the same, but just about to commit and buy a 50!
– Just from my experience if you are printing a picture that is of something at night, or in a dark room I would overexpose it a little (raise the brightness), as these types of prints do come up a little darker than your phone screen.
When the box arrived inside is a pocket size hp printer, a usb cable and 1 x10 pack of printer paper. The first I did was charge up the printer, yes its rechargeable. I then downloaded the hp sprocket app which you need to print off photos. To insert the printer paper just gently pull off the top cover. The paper comes with a blue card this must be put into the printer first and face down, this a print test card and then the paper on top and close the top. Once the printer is charged go into the app and choose which pic you want to print and press print. Now there is no ink cartridges, this works on zink technology. The photo comes out in about 15 seconds and the back of the photo peels off so you can stick it in a book if you want.
The picture quality is not as bright as it is on your phone but they are ok.
My one bit of advice is to stock up on printer paper, I have found it difficult to buy this paper in shops, the only place I can buy this paper is from amazon. so buy extra.
I am very happy with this pocket printer and the photos it prints and I love that its pocket size so it doesn`t take up a lot of room and is perfect for scrap booking.
Excellent and my dad got little photos of his granddaughter in his wallet and one hang in the kitchen and also use for my hobby as well
Bought for Grandaughter who seems pleased with it. I’m not impressed with quality of photos tho.
I tried both 2.3 and 2.3 x 3.4. I would say the print quality of Sprocket 2.3 is slightly better than the Sprocket plus.
Arrived ahead of time, as advertised, portable, neat and easy to use
app is simple and easy to navigate and print pictures quickly.
