Sprocket Portable Photo Printer, print social media photos on 2x3 sticky-backed paper - red (Z3Z93A)

I must say, I'm not one to usually go out on an impulse to buy a gadget but when someone showed me this little thing, I jumped on it and boy was my instinct correct. I love love LOVE this little printer! I've already used it a lot. We're about to move away from our current place of residence, so one of the really great uses of this one has been printing memories for friends at farewell parties. It's an instant photo booth!First of all, super easy to use! Charge it, download the Sprocket app, pair with your phone and voila. I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it's a great pairing. The pictures come out with surprisingly good quality, this does not use any ink so the only expense here is to replenish the paper, but I have found that this will not break the bank at all. I love that they are stickers, I've been using it to create a memory book for my daughter with photos of all her friends and teachers in it so that she can thumb through and wander down memory lane whenever she wants to.I also love how compact it is, it fits in my purse so I can easily bring it with me anywhere I want to go. I did not buy the pouch for it, but I'm considering it so that it is a little bit more protected.I think the Sprocket app can probably use a little work as far as they could add more editing options and coloring options for the stickers etc, but I'm still having fun with the current app, using it to frame photos, add stickers and text before printing. I figure this app can only get better with time and it's already a good tool.Anyway ... so far I have nothing negative to say about this one, I just love it, best impulse buy ever!

I'm an avid travel journalist, and the bulk of my journal is made up of sketches I do on the go. However, sometimes I want to add a picture of my kids or capture an exact moment, and let's be real...ordering prints and waiting for them is inconvenient and something I "always mean to do". I have a hard case that carries the sprocket, paper and charging cord and all of it fits perfectly into the side pocket of my backpack. The 2x3 prints are clear (a bit dull on the color but still high quality for an instant print situation) and the perfect size for my moleskine pocket journal. The adhesive back adheres to smooth pages and after 3 weeks of packing around my journal and flipping through pages, the corners are still holding up well. No threat of coming off. This is the perfect accessory for travelers who don't want to add weight to their packs, but are also self-aware enough to know we'll never actually print those photos if we have to go to Walmart. I also plan to have this at our next birthday party so party-goers can print pictures they take that day to take with them. Useful little tool and I REALLY Love that I don't have to pack extra ink to make it work.

First off let me say I was expecting poor to fair quality photos as a lot of "tech" critics have claimed. What I found was Impressive photo quality for a printer using ink-less technology. Fast effortless syncing to both iOS and Android as with all HP products I have owned. Cons. A desktop program available would be a nice advantage because after all who doesn't sync everything anymore just for the sake of syncing (none available at my time of purchase). Holding more than 10 sheets of paper at one time would be a nice bonus as well (can be corrected by purchasing an aftermarket case with plenty of pocket space to hold extra paper at around 10$ average) Also worth mentioning that the HP case choices are not very desirable compared to aftermarket ones. The charging cord is a bit laughable at just a little over a foot and a half (can be corrected with a USB extension or by purchasing a longer cord about 5$ average for either assuming you don't have one lying around). Despite my few complaints I still gave the Sprocket 5 stars for being well built, having great quality prints, idiot proof setup and use (including the editing software in both apps) Most of my complaints can be easily fixed at ones own leisure. Once again HP comes through again.Decent quality case by Canboc 9$http://a.co/1IAGPynQuality 3.0 USB extension by Cable Matters 6$http://a.co/i5ZwF5b
