HPSprocket 2x3 Inch Instant Smartphone Photo Printer -Portable Color Wireless Mobile Printer -Zink Sticky-Back Photos -Print from Compatible iOS & Android Devices with Bluetooth w/Fun App -Luna Pearl

Got one of these back in May, would be a perfect gift for a Photography lover or someone who takes a lot of pictures, great for making memories!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.

Really great gadget, easy to use and prints really good

The sprocket itself works well but the charger is faulty so takes a long time to charge. The red light comes on and goes off constantly so doesn't charge properly. As soon as you move it it stops charging.

The media could not be loaded. WOW!!!!I brought another leading brand Bluetooth printer before purchasing this one.I tried it out & returned it as the photo quality wasn’t that great & there print wasn’t right upto the edge.So, I decided to try this one & I am over the moon with the photo quality.Stop storing your photos on your phone & start printing them.What’s in the box… The printer, 10 sheets of 2’ x 3’ paper & the usb charge lead.Pros,photo quality is excellentThe paper can be peeled, so compatible with scrapbookingNo left over film/paper, so 100% no wastePortableCompatible with the iPhone & iPad (via an app)Good in app photo changes (add words, colour change, boarders etc)No ink requiredCons,The paper is priceyBattery lif isn’t good (needs recharging after printing 10 photos)Would I recommend this, 100%

First of all, if you’re a serious photographer and you’re looking for a professional photo printer, this isn’t for you.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 2x3 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?!

It works great & the pictures are really clear. Exactly what I wanted it for & easy to use

I was really excited by this product, I was going to use it for printing out small thumbnails and using them as a reference to sketch from. The Sprocket is super easy to set up and worked with no problem, however the print quality was poor, I wasn't expecting professional standards, but better than I got.People looked greenishPhotos came out to dark, and if you lightened them the photo came out overexposed.There were lines down the photo.Im sadly disappointed, I read all of the good and bad reviews before purchasing and decided to be an optimist, however, the bad reviews are correct.

Great little gadget, essy to use and a nice handy size but.....the photos come out grainy and very dark, even after adjust the brightness, saturation, contrast etc. I would have liked the prints to be more crispier. Overall I would only give 3 out of 5 and that's being generous.
