Our take on the HP Sprocket Portable 2x3 Instant Photo Printer

The HP Sprocket is a pocket-sized printer that turns phone photos into 2x3-inch sticky-backed prints over Bluetooth. It uses ZINK paper, so there is no ink to buy, and the free HP Sprocket app handles editing, frames and AR content. Prints are small and soft at 313 x 400 dpi, so it suits casual sharing rather than framing. Against rivals like the Canon Ivy and Polaroid Hi-Print it is simple and app-friendly, but owners say prints can look washed out and the paper adds up.
