Our take on the HP Sprocket Portable Instant Photo Printer

The HP Sprocket is a pocket-sized printer that turns phone photos into 2 x 3 inch sticky-backed prints over Bluetooth. It uses ZINK paper, so there is no ink cartridge to buy, and the free HP Sprocket app handles editing, frames and stickers. Print quality is soft at 313 x 400 dpi, so it suits casual snapshots and scrapbooking rather than framing. Rivals like the Canon Zoemini and Polaroid Hi-Print are similarly small; the Sprocket's edge is the app and the peel-and-stick paper, while its weakness is fading and a modest resolution.

Pros
  • No ink needed; ZINK paper carries the color
  • Fits in a pocket or bag at 3.2 x 4.6 inches
  • Bluetooth pairing with the HP Sprocket app for edits and stickers
  • Peel-and-stick backing on prints
  • Simple setup and one-button printing
Cons
  • Low 313 x 400 dpi output looks soft next to a phone screen
  • Prints can fade over time, especially in sunlight
  • ZINK paper is the ongoing cost and only fits 10 sheets at a time
  • No touchscreen; everything is done in the app
  • Not a true portable in the rugged sense; plastic body

Questions and answers

Does the HP Sprocket need ink?
No. It uses ZINK zero-ink paper, where heat activates color crystals in the paper itself. You only replace the paper.
What size photos does it print?
It prints 2 x 3 inch photos with a peel-and-stick back. That is smaller than a standard 4 x 6 print.
Does it work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. It connects over Bluetooth and works with the HP Sprocket app on both iOS and Android.
Can I print without a phone?
No. The printer has no touchscreen or card slot, so you send photos from the app over Bluetooth.
How many prints per paper pack?
ZINK paper comes in packs of 20 or more, and the printer holds 10 sheets at a time. Each sheet gives one print.
Is it good for framing or gifts?
It is best for casual snapshots, journals and party favors. For framing, a higher-resolution dye-sub or inkjet photo printer gives sharper results.
