There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had viewed several YouTube videos so that when my sprocket arrived I was pretty familiar with what would be in the box and what I needed to do. So simple- remove cover of printer, put the pack of 10 sheets of paper in with the blue card at the bottom facing down (this calibrates the printer). Then, on your phone, install the app. From there, the app will ask you which device you have. Select it and it will walk you through each step, such as your photo roll and accessing your social media accounts if you’d like to (so make sure you know your usernames for Instagram and Facebook, etc) Make sure on you’re phone your blue tooth is turned on. I have an iPhone X and cannot tell you how seamless this was. It will tell you when printer and phone are paired. Done! I couldn’t believe how easy it is and - for the record- I am not the most tech savvy grape in the bunch, ha ha. If I could do it, anyone reading my review will be able to do it! Then, give it a charge. You will see a red light. Red light means it’s charging. When the light is green, it’s charged. You’re good to go! If a software/ firmware update is needed the printer needs to be charged 50%. The printer needs to be charged a bit before printing out a picture so keep that in mind as well. I am over the moon with this, I’m so happy I bought it! I also purchased a little hard case to carry it in- and store my papers and charging cord, glad I decided to buy that too. Something to consider if you’re going to purchase this. If in the fence, I say go for it. The picture printed as I expected it to. Clear. Glossy. Perfect to capture a memory of an event or get together or to tuck into an agenda, wallet, card or journal! Love, love, love this!!! Hope this helps someone!
I added an early project picture as an example.
Sprocket is also perfect for my job. The 2x3 pictures are a great size to display all our associates on our break room CARE board. Now, if an associate gets recognition or award, we pull their picture and display it in the recognition section of the board.
The printer itself is small and prints in seconds. The fact that it requires "no" ink, is what sold me. The app is easy to use and its fun. For reference, Im a 39 yr old guy.
If you are looking for a small printer and don't need anything more than 2x3s, look no more. This IS the one to get.

L'imprimante est très simple d'utilisation, elle est petite ce qui permet de l'emmener partout avec nous.
Le prix du papier est correct et le fait qu'il soit autocollants est vraiment super.
On peut créer facilement un album de voyage au jour le jour.
La taille des photos est correct et suffit amplement.
Très bon achat fait pour le livre d'or de notre mariage afin que nos invités puissent se prendre en photo et la coller dedans pour un meilleur souvenir de ce jour merveilleux.
Je conseille vivement.
• Faster than ZIP, higher quality, compatible with Zink papers*
IMPORTANT:
• If you read just ONE thing, read this. DO NOT THROW OUT THE BLUE CARD in the starter paper pack! I repeat DO NOT THROW OUT THE BLUE CARD!
• Take a look at my photo and you’ll see there are different kinds of blue cards that are included with paper. The blue card is read each time you insert a new pack and it tells the printer what paper is there. It is VERY IMPORTANT to know that the hp sprocket will only accept HP branded paper! This means you cannot use regular (cheaper) Zink Pogo paper or Zink Premium. How does the printer know what paper you have? The blue card.
• Whatever 2x3” Zink paper you buy, simply feed the ORIGINAL HP blue card instead of the one that came in the package. The printer will read it as hp sprocket paper and accept it. This is nothing more than manufacturers trying to limit the use to their own “licensed” paper. Now there IS a difference between the regular “Pogo” paper and “Premium” but there is no difference between brands like “LG” or “HP” or “Polaroid”… they are the same.
The Good:
• It’s FAST! By fast I mean the spool up time to print is a full 20 seconds LESS than the Polaroid Zip.
• Quality is better… I’m not sure if it’s the printer or the app, but the output is far better on the HP (in general). Polaroid Zip prints are generally much too dark, even after editing.
• The HP app is much more user friendly than the Polaroid “SnapTouch” app.
The Bad:
• It’s slightly bigger than the Polaroid Zip.
• HP app does NOT have multi photo printing on one page. You have to use a third party app like PhotoGrid and then send the output to HP sprocket app. This is can be a hinderance from someone that likes to print 2-in-1 pics.
• Casing is very glossy so I suggest getting it in white if you don’t like to see fingerprint smudges.
Comments and Last Thoughts:
• There are two kinds of paper: Regular (Zink Pogo), and Premium (Zink Premium, HP sprocket…etc). The latter is a little bit higher quality and more glossy. For me, the cost isn’t worth it for a print this size and how it’s going to be used anyway. I suggest going for the regular kind and buying in bulk if you want to save some money.
• If you’re looking for a decent price on Premium paper, look to the Apple Store or deals that happen on Best Buy and Amazon. YOU MUST KEEP THE ORIGINAL HP BLUE PAPER TO USE IT.
• For bulk papers, I’ve purchased from Amazon regular Pogo (not Premium) papers like this: Polaroid Zink media 80 Pack Photo Paper for Polaroid Pogo Cameras and Printers
• Note there are “best before” dates on the papers, but I haven’t seen any adverse effects from using close or “expired” papers. Again, given the size of the photos and what they are used for, a small change in quality is worth the price savings for me.

La impresora viene con 10 hojas fotográficas de regalo y cabe destacar que funciona con otras marcas de papel (en mi caso he probado con Polaroid con perfecto resultado) más económicas que los de HP.
Por tanto un gadget muy curioso al cual le estoy sacando mucho partido.
Ok lets start by saying that I only noticed this when I was looking at buying another product, which was rather ungainly, ugly and far too retro. This on the other hand looks modern and has a quality feel to it.
As above I was very happy with the product once it was removed from the packaging, which in my opinion has gone a bit too far on the looking after the planet front, especially for the price tag. However if this was a review on packaging my star rating would not be five.
In the box you get a few associated documents, offers etc, a power cable/recharge cable and ten sheets of the photo paper, (more available on Amazon at a fair price). The printer itself is of a good quality, looks good, feels good and is quite eye catching in the gold and white and prints quickly.
The real important thing is how well does it print? I say it actually does a really good job, I mean I am thrown totally by the size and that definitely helped me fall in love with the product but quality is not too bad. The app/interface is really user friendly during use but can on occasion freeze, which requires a restart etc, but this is infrequent.
The price varies a little on the colour option that you choose but the price is ok and I was happy to pay it for the product that I got. 5 stars.
