HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer, Print Social Media Photos on 2x3" Sticky-Backed Paper - White (X7N07A)

I've printed 30 pictures so far and just ordered more paper. I love that when I travel I can make a mini album in real time without having to wait or crop down 4 x 6 pics to fit. The printer device is smaller than my phone, and charges quickly via the cord that comes with it. It's easy to load and seems to work consistently. The images are not perfect, they turn out as if they are a little faded. They are crisp though. The sticky backs peel off easily. The program associated with the printer is easy to use and you can crop photos easily in the software on your phone. I recommend this printer for fun, instant pics in a journal or mini album where you are not concerned about archival quality, with high color pics, but are just capturing the moment and sticking on a page. I wish I had discovered this years ago! i also bought a carry case for $10

I journal constantly and the Sprocket has really taken that to a new level. I waited a long time to write this review, because at first I was pretty unhappy about the print quality. It improved a bit once I purchased separate paper (not the pack that came with it in the box). I really love putting pictures in my journal. While the print quality leaves something to be desired, it's still a pretty awesome device. It's portable and I've taken it overseas with no issues. I've also had no issues with it breaking down or malfunctioning. I love that I don't have to hassle with ink at all (it's combined in the paper). The stickiness is great, they stay on but I can move them without the page tearing. I've started putting pictures in cards too!

I bought this as a gift for Christmas and it is awesome. If you are looking for completely accurate colour payoff this is probably not the printer for you. No matter what brand you choose, the likely hood of the prints being completely accurate are not very high.These print more like a picture from a Polaroid camera would print, but if you look at the quality they are awesome. All three of these original pictures were taken on my Canon Rebel T6i and were then edited on the app ColorStory before being printed on the Sprocket. I would not recommend editing photos in the app as the quality might not be as great. Invest in a good photo editing app such as Aviary, or Lightroom or another app that will not ruin the quality of your photos.Also, as a general printing rule, printers usually print at a resolution of 300dpi, if you have photoshop you can always change the resolution of your photos to fit the resolution this will print.Because of the photo dimensions, you will never have to crop out any part of your picture to make it fit in the print. Unless you decide to print a square photo or a photo that has been previously cropped.All in all it is an awesome printer, but if you’re looking for 100% accurate colour payoff, you may want to invest in an inkjet printer.

I really like my HP Sprocket and I hope HP continues to support it. The App for this is really simple to use but they need more options because I have to use a third party app to have more editing options.So the printer itself is pretty swell. Don't expect amazing quality though, you gonna put most pictures though the editor to brighten/darken it to make it closer to the original. Also, dark lines aren't very consistent. I'm currently using this to print comics sections and artwork for my sketch book as reference and in one of the pictures I printed out before editing, it was suppose to be just black and white but the black lines were faded and kinda tinted purplish I think. Very light. In another drawing I printed, I used the editor and it came out a bit better. For such a large picture turned tiny, it got most of the details. Just the black lines were faded/light purplish in the thinner lines.BTW, I would suggest using this app for iOS users if you want to make sure all of your picture will fit in the 2:3 ration that the app uses: ">Resize". It's free and pretty basic in the Apple App Store. Pretty much uses all of the paper and looks decent if you remain consistant. Oh, and you have to be using the latest iOS firmware of your device cause the HP decided to stop supporting those under 8.0 I think.So I'm not sure if the picture quality is the HP Sprocket's fault or the Zink Paper since they're both pretty new. I hope the paper becomes cheaper cause unless it's on a sale, it's about $0.50 per paper. The sticker part is really good though, picture feels smooth against my sketch book and doesn't come loose.So overall, if you just want some fun little pictures for your scrapbook/sketch book needs, I would suggest buying it since it seems like the best out of the other current printers of April 2017. It's very easy to connect it to your bluetooth and the app is simple to use as well. It's very portable and there are two cases for it right now for your basic needs of protection. There is also the benefit that since it uses Zink paper like Polaroid and LG, you could swap between the other brands as long as you keep your blue sheet from the HP set. Look it up on YouTube if you want proof.The only other recommendation I would give is the Kodak Mini Printer (PM-210). The pictures are a tiny bit bigger than a credit card and the quality is pretty good. Only problem is the cartiages as they are quite expensive unless you use another brand like "Pickit" which comes in non-sticker and sticker.I'll include a photo of my Sprocket with the two cases I'm using and a screenshot I printed from Person 5 the game.
