I wish it they would not discontinue the 4x6 prints.

Setup is quick and easy for HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer. It came with HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer, HP Sprocket Plus photo paper (10 sheets), USB charging cable and Owner’s manual. I have charged the printer before starting the setup process. I have downloaded HP Sprocket app and followed the instructions to complete the setup. It can print glossy 2.3 x 3.4-inch sticky-backed photos for journals and other creative projects. I have printed a few photos from the phone gallery and quality came really good. The size of the printer is really small about cell phone size and it can be carried anywhere due to its compact size. I have purchased 100 sheets of zink paper to use it for my daughter’s school projects. She already used this printer for her two of her projects to print photos. It is a perfect printer for school projects as it prints photos in small size. The battery life is really good. The only issue is the cost of print for each photo and it will be around 50 cents and you can print photos less than 15 cents.

Picture quality isn’t that great I actually ended up returning and getting the canon printer which I absolutely love!

This sprocket photo printer has been awesome so far. I do have experience using a small inkless photo printer like this from a competing brand and I have to say the HP might have a slight edge over the competitor. HP has done an outstanding job with the sprocket app. That is the best thing about this sprocket printer in my opinion. For starters, the app is very user friendly and easy to navigate and I have not noticed any glitching. Within the app there are so many different things you can do to your photos before printing them. I have personally used the small, sticker photos from printers like this for scrapbooking and it is very handy. The possibilities are nearly endless of what you can add to the photos from frames, stickers, filters, and even minor editing of the photos. The ability to add so many decorations or designs to plain photos is awesome and I think could be appealing to a very wide demographic. This printer is also very sleek looking and the design on the top is cool. Hard to believe something with this small of a footprint can print photos but it is awesome technology. This printer is also very easy to load to compared to the competitor. The one that I used from a competitor had to have the top slide up and then pulled off before loading, in my opinion posing a pretty big risk of breaking plastic tabs. But this hp sprocket printer just simply uses magnets to hold the top on so it is a simple pull up and set down to open and close the printer for loading. The magnetic design is excellent! In my opinion, those are all the strengths of the sprocket printer, however I think it slacks in print quality compared to the competitor. Now I know since this in an inkless system, one can only expect so much when it comes to quality, but since I’ve seen better from an inkless system like this, I know HP could have done better. The photos all have a strange, sharp/pixelated look to them, almost like you cranked up the sharpness on a photo all the way up on your phone. It is most noticeable on faces, and less noticeable on landscape photos. I also noticed all the photos come out with a purple/magenta haze to them, now this could probably be avoided by editing it before printing, of course it would look weird on screen but might print better. Lastly, I have also noticed when printing, that even if you do not move the photo in the print area, just simply select a photo and hit print, never touching the photo, the photo does not sit quite right on the paper. Almost all of my photos have come out slightly cropped, a little bit of all sides are missing but this is not the end of the world. But other photos have come out with a white line on top, like blank paper for the first more than ⅛ of and inch, despite on screen in the print area there was no white line nor was the photo touched or moved. Just a lack of consistency in printing is what I've noticed, however still impressive that photos can come out looking the way they do with no ink cartridges at all. Overall this is a great product that can have tons of uses and be appealing to many people, it would also make a great gift!

Instant printing is super fun and addictive! I love this little printer. It's super portable and easy to use. I took it on a camping trip over the weekend and was able to surprise my friends with prints of our favorite moments. I'm also happy I got the slightly larger size of this. The paper isn't as easy to find, but the extra versatility is worth it. I have an android phone -- it doesn't add itself to the print services like other printers, but I've found that the Sprocket app is one of the Share-as destinations, so that way it's easy to print whatever is on my screen. The prints come out reasonably quickly, they are almost instantly dry and ready to use, and the photo quality is really good. I have found however that the battery drains while it isn't in use, so you need to be sure to have something that can charge it. It gives weird error messages when you try to use it with less than 10% battery. The paper is also somewhat expensive, so just be prepared for that cost! The entertainment value is worth it to me. I found an old CD index case that has plenty of room for the printer, a charge cable, and extra paper packets.

In today’s digital age, it’s easy to capture and forget moments. With the HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer, cherishing your moments with an actual photograph in-hand is super fun and incredibly easy. Small and lightweight, just slightly larger than your phone, this printer is not only easy to carry around but performs super well given its size. Simply put, this device is an easy way to print small (2.3x3.4 inches) photographs for sharing moments with friends or loved ones, putting on the fridge, hanging on your dresser mirror, or for scrapbooking. By the way, this prints borderless photos – unlike other instant photo printers on the market. This printer supports multi-users as it can connect up to three users/devices at a time. So, imagine a chill night at home or a small get-together. A few of y’all can have fun printing some pretty cool photos of your evening/event. Simple to use, all you have to do is download the HP Sprocket app on your smartphone and go through a super-quick setup process. The printer connects via Bluetooth 5.0, so it’s wireless. The app connects to the camera roll on your phone, and you can select photos to print as-is, or make simple adjustments like brightening/darkening, color filters, or applying special graphics like borders and other cool stuff. Press print and voila! With the app, you can also connect your Instagram, Facebook, and Google Photos accounts to print your photos from those platforms. There are some gripes I have about this printer, though. The app is very basic when it comes to photo-editing. In fact, it’s not that great. You would be better off adjusting the brightness, color, etcetera from your phone’s default photo app or through something more advanced like Adobe Lightroom before printing via the Sprocket app. Also, the overall image quality of the final prints isn’t that great, but for what this device is – and what it can do instantly – it’s fine. The bottom line is the HP Sprocket Select is a great photo printer to print fun-size photos easily and quickly. I highly recommend for someone looking for something simple without a lot of fuss.

Love this little printer, it's easy to set up with the app and makes zipping out prints from phone or tablet a breeze. I've connected it to my iPad and my iPhone XS Max and zipped out a few prints. Right off the bat first thing I noticed is the print quality is much improved over the old version that I have. It's definitely worth an upgrade that's for sure! The sticky prints are great for scrapbooking, doing collages or sticking on the wall (which I've done in my cubicle at work. It's perfect! It does work on its own battery and comes with a micro USB cable to charge it with. Unlike the prior model, it has a nice finish that looks great and fits nicely in my laptop bag. In my testing so far, I can't really find anything that I don't like other than things I wish it could do like taking non-stick paper or the ability to print the smaller or larger zink papers. The print size it does is great though. The App, which is probably the most important thing, does work well and enables you to create custom stickers, print photos and edit them before you print them. It really is much more than just an app to print the photos but instead helps you create just about anything with your photos and make your own stickers.I'd definitely recommend this printer to anyone looking for a tool to help with art/scrapbooking and collecting snapshots. If you have a prior generation, this is definitely one that's worth getting as it definitely prints far better than the original model that I have.

I thought it was going to be a better quality but no the pictures come out with too much saturation hard to adjust and if you play around and try to fix it it won't come out the same when you print

The HP Sprocket Select is a super fun way to print and edit photos on the go. Every time I introduce one of my friends to it they immediately ask where they can get one. The build quality is nice and compact, about as this as a DVD case and a little wider than my cell phone and it weighs less than half a pound. Inside the box there is the printer itself, a USB cable, a pack of zink paper to get you started and instructions. Everything was super easy to get started, just download the app, connect to your phone, install the paper and get printing. There are several options and fun things you can do with your photos. There are your usual editing tools, borders, text and stickers you can add to jazz up your photos. You can also add AR experiences where your photos are geo tagged and then when you use the app to scan your photo a bunch of location info pops up and other details. You can also break up a photo into tiles and have one photo split into 4 separate pieces and stick them together to get a unique collage effect. I took off one star because i found most photos I would have to edit to make them a tad bit brighter as i found a lot of them would come out darker than expected and the color was not accurate as the original photo, but coming from such a small printer and the ink paper technology i did not expect 100% accuracy. Other than that this is a great little printer that anyone would enjoy using and it'll provide a lot of fun times and memories.

Great bundle. Sprocket perfect for travel. Case very functional. Can store cord, printer packets & prints. Extras like photo book and frames were a bonus. Prints fine for journaling. Colors not as vibrant as regular prints but zink paper only uses three colors so prints less vibrant.

My Wife and I like taking a lot of picture of our kids and vacations, the problem is most of our photos are just sitting on hard drives at home. we wanted to find a way to have some of those photos. Typically the easiest way would be to just go somewhere and print them all out. well my problem is we do not have the space to just have hundred of photos in our house. We wanted to do something but didn't know what. we looked into getting an instamax camera but we didn't want to have to stop taking photos with our phones and carry around this camera. we finally found the Hp sprocket.We were really intrigued by being able to print these smaller photos to keep these memories and my wife was excited to make some small books with it. So far we love it, the photos have looked better than we expected they are not photo studio quality but i do think they look very good, and we loved being to edit and make fun pictures using the app. Speaking of the app its very easy to use and for the most part very intuitive, my wife who is not very tech savvy was able to get it running and printing by herself in less than 10 minutes. If you are looking for a fun way to print and edit photos I highly recommend.

Nice pictures when you could get it to print. Returned it after 2 weeks. Keep losing connections. Several clerks at Best Buy tried working on it. They didn't know what to do with it either. Love the concept but very disappointed.

This is the first portable photo printer worth having. The size is very compact and easy to carry with you. It’s also run off chargeable battery so you don’t have to keep it plugged in to use it. The software is simple to download and use. The picture quality is ok but very acceptable for this kind of use. I would recommend it!

The HP - Sprocket Select Photo Printer is an amazing device that allows you to share moments captured on your mobile device and create unique ways to display them in your home/office/ or even on your devices like tablets and laptops. It's really easy to use. Install the app on your phone, select you image(s) and print. The quality of the printed images is superb. It's stunning how clear they are. You can even increase the size of the image and the clarity remains. The Sprocket Select is really fun for the kids in our home. They can create amazing stickers of themselves & friends engaged in fun activities and put them on their phone case, tablet and even on their wall. I highly recommend the HP - Sprocket Select Photo Printer. It's an extremely fun way to print and display images from your phone.

Product looked attractive, however the picture print quality did not print line the photo taken. The pics seem dark. Picture a little smaller then advertised.

Straight out of the box, I plugged it, downloaded the app and followed the instructions. I placed the paper in the printer and was ready to print in less than five minutes from the time of opening the package. The quality of the photos printed is great. I took photos that we're taking with a 45 MP camera and photos taken with a cell phone and the print quality was great for such a small printer. Now my wife and I can take our own photos and stick them in our office or on our desk with ease.

This little pocket sized printer is a great thing to have around for gatherings, especially if you have teenaged girls like I do. I got the Sprocket a couple of days before our annual end-of-summer blowout and decided to let the girls try it out. They had an absolute blast and I was glad I had the forethought to pick up extra paper because they burned through all I had and kept asking for more. It's super-easy to connect and up to three people can be connected at once. That was a great bonus since several kids were snapping pics they wanted to print. I got worried about the battery life since it was running pretty much nonstop the whole afternoon so I plugged it in using the included micro USB cord but I think it would have been ok if I hadn't. I just didn't want a bunch of upset kids who couldn't print their funny pics to take home as souvenirs of the day. The prints aren't cheap at around $.65 each and the quality isn't like a true photo printing service, but the ease of use, ability to ad borders, words, and whatever else, and being able to have them ready to go before everyone left, upped the fun factor and made for good party favors. Since then, I've played around with printing from social media and that works as easily as tagging a photo and hitting print. Easy-peasy. I'd suggest stocking up on paper at first since you are likely to use this little printer a bunch just playing around. The ink is embedded in the paper so there's no worrying about running out in mid-print which is an added nicety. Only thing to note is that this is most definitely not a speed-demon, so if you're using it at a party be sure to allow plenty of time to let it do its thing.

Disappointed in this sprocket, the pictures came out horrible and I calibrated various times and it still didn't come out good.

I love this photo printer. I was easy to set up, just install the app and follow the simple directions. Surprised with how clear the pictures were printed. Love it. Will definitely be taking and printing lots of pics with friends!!

This not work good. Mine is stopped and no have warranty
