HP Sprocket

Item: HP SprocketAssembly: I received this product for my unbiased opinion. I have tons of pictures stored on my iPhone and always wish I could print the photos quickly. The product comes in a sleek box and was fairly easy to assemble. Just plug in the printer into an USB port and follow the instructions thru the app. Setup takes no longer than a minute so you could buy and quickly begin taking photos once charged.Storage: Given the fact of its size, it can fit nicely in a small or large purse, or even the front pouch of your book bag or brief case. Similarity: Compared to using a typical digital camera or even the old school disposable camera, it is much more convenient. No waiting for picture to develop, it takes literally 30 seconds to take a photo, which you can even do in the app. Then sending it over to the printer via Bluetooth and printing and you`re done.Quality: I printed multiple photos, color, and black and white and they came out wonderful. Vibrant even when printing full color photos, similar to printing on a full size printer.Price: The unit as a whole is kind of of expensive however the convenience it provides makes up for the price. The paper refills are very under priced which makes up for paying a little more for the printer. Improvements: Setup was easy; however installing the update was a little tricky. I assumed that all I had to do was click the link and it would automatically update to the latest version but there were instructions that needed to be followed. If clicking the update automatically took you to the instructions it would be so much smoother in my opinion. Also if it came with a plug to put your USB into already would add to the convenience that the printer provides.

Fun Portable Printer!

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion.What a fun little printer! I love that I can print small pics of anything I have on my phone. The instructions are simple and the set up was very easy, took about 5 minutes max, including time to download the app. I like the look, it`s sleek and very easy to take around. The quality of the pictures could be a little better. They seem slightly faded, but they are still pretty good. You can only print when the printer is plugged into a power source, so you can`t really print "on-the-go", which would`ve been a nice feature. It also would be nice to have a carrying case for the printer so it doesn`t get scratched or nicked. It only holds 10 photo papers at a time, so make each photo count! Overall, it`s a fun product! If you are sentimental or just like having small photos it`s worth it!

Very Cute, Convenient, & Easy to Use Mini Print...

I was overall very impressed with the HP Sprocket printer. The set-up was very simple with easy to follow instructions. The app that goes along with the printer takes up a lot of memory on your phone, requiring it to be downloaded via Wi-Fi, so be aware of that. The app itself is also very easy to use and straight forward. I really enjoy the option of adding quotes/words and the adorable range of icons and frames to add to your pictures before printing. My only issue with the app was repositioning and changing the size of the added words and symbols, it seemed that they were too small for my fingers to really pinch and move them to where I wanted. The printer itself has LED lights with easy to understand meanings, including the option to customize what color you`d like your sprocket`s light to be. The time it takes to print is impressively fast from when you hit print on your phone to when you have the photo in your hand. I love the tiny size and shape of the photos, however I wasn`t totally thrilled about the quality of the pictures themselves. Even after printing a 4K resolution photo, it still came out a little blurry and unclear. Basic "selfies" and a picture of my dog all came out very nicely though, I just wouldn`t recommend using this printer for detailed pictures like landscapes. I understand this is a relatively new technology to have such a tiny printer instantly print photos, so with that understanding I`m very impressed with the overall quality of the product.

Great Mobile Printer

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion:Installation: The installation is fool-proof thru the Google Play Store on an android device just have to search for HP Sprocket App and click install. Set-up of Software and Printer: The setup process for the app and printer was amazingly simple and frustration free. Accessing your photos was a breeze especially since the app has integrated access to your phone gallery, Instagram, Facebook, and Google account photos. The latter few of three you with just a few taps you can sign in to each account and the app pulls your photos with simplicity. The app automatically checks for any updates to the app or printer firmware making up keep of your device quite elementary.The printer already comes assembled. The only other thing that you have to do is pop off the top real easily and install the paper pack with the blue bar codeed card down.Features:Are you someone that likes to relive your greatest memories? I am and I thoroughly enjoyed the reveal feature. Its fairly easy to access this feature as well. When you are looking in or at any of the gallery options just click the "Cube" icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen or app. Once clicked it will have a moving hexagon in the middle of the screen. You can center any photo print in the center of the screen. It will then bring up a pop screen showing you all photos that you took on the date that photo was taken. You can enjoy a few laughs as you scroll thru your photo memories with ease. The edit feature is quite user friendly. You can change the brightness, contrast, add text, small graphics, borders, etc. I especially like the different filters that allows different colors within the photo to pop.Cons:I know this is supposed be a mobile printer, but I wish you were able to print at least up too 3x5 photos.Quality/Overall Impression:The product is quite sturdy. I was quite surprised with how small the product is that it was built with such great quality and design.My overall impression if I was giving this item a star rating is a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this mobile printer and the app and how easy it was to use. I would definitely recommend this to any of my family and friends.

Fun Instant Printer

The printer was smaller than I expected. It was compact enough to go into my purse or my daughter`s bag, so we took it almost everywhere. The charge lasted about a week of our intermittent use before we needed to charge it again.The setup was surprisingly painless and quick. Putting the printer on the charger turned it on automatically. The app initiated pairing with the printer as soon as I was creating account. The calibration paper fed through through as soon I put the pack of paper in. I did have a hard time locating the printer with my bluetooth later on. It wouldn`t show up on available devices, but if i went to print it connected on it`s own.It printed out the pictures within seconds. I used the embedded experiences feature, which did lower the quality of the picture (as the manual advised). It looked lighter with less contrast then the app reflected, but I just adjusted the color in order to use the feature and get the same quality prints. I was prepared for a little less quality due to the size, but without that feature the pictures were good quality and color. The details were reflected just like getting them printed at a store.The size is not as large as a typical printed picture. I would`ve liked a larger size and I wouldn`t have needed the sticker option. Since they were smaller, I used them most as an actual sticker.The printer wouldn`t be ideal for me, as I prefer to frame or put pictures in an album. I`d love if they had interchangeable sizes to print. My teenage daughter finds a reason to use it constantly though. I wish we`d had this for her birthday party a few weeks earlier! I know it would`ve been a hit.

Oh the possibilities!!!!

from Columbus, OH.
This product is SO easy to set up and use! Download the App, charge the printer and you`re good to go! I had it installed and printing within 5 minutes. It`s small and will be in my purse from now on! Imagine you`re at a special event you take a selfie with the guest of the night and have the ability to print it on the spot and hand it to them!? It is wireless, super easy to reload paper and you never have to change ink. Not only that but the app itself is amazing! So many options for editing your photos, and you can create a friends group to share photos as well. You can customize everything, all the way down to the color of the lights on the printer itself! Get one! You won`t regret it! I have the paper that turns your photos into stickers! My daughter already wants to take it to school to take photos of her friends to print and stick in her locker!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to be able to add photos to my bullet journal. It’s a good quality printer... the best part is that no ink is required! The size is perfect... small/ light enough to carry around with an extra pack of papers (I bought a carrying case), but big enough to not feel flimsy. My only complaint would be that tweaks are needed to have pictures come out as vibrant as they are on my phone. I find the colors to be a bit washed out/ yellowish. It’s pretty easy to edit so I’m not too concerned about the print color quality.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
