Our take on the HP Sprocket Studio Plus Instant Photo Printer

The HP Sprocket Studio Plus is a portable dye-sublimation printer that makes 4x6 inch photos from a phone over Bluetooth. It is the larger sibling of HP's pocket Sprocket printers: real 4x6 prints instead of stickers, with a battery rated for up to 80 prints per charge. Dye-sublimation gives glossy, water-resistant prints with a clear overcoat, but each print uses a sheet and ribbon from HP's consumable packs, so running costs are the main trade-off against inkjet photo printers. It suits casual phone photographers who want quick physical prints at gatherings; buyers wanting archival quality or low cost per print should look at a dedicated photo inkjet.

Questions and answers

Does it print real 4x6 photos?
Yes. It uses dye-sublimation to make 4x6 inch prints with a protective overcoat, so they resist smudges and water better than many inkjet prints.
Do I need to buy special paper?
Yes. Each print needs an HP Sprocket Studio paper sheet and ribbon from a consumable pack. Ordinary photo paper will not work.
How many prints per charge?
HP rates the battery for up to 80 prints per charge. Real-world counts are lower if you print in long sessions or leave it idle between prints.
Can I print without a phone?
No. It has no memory card slot or PictBridge, so printing goes through the HP Sprocket app over Bluetooth.
How does it compare with the pocket Sprocket?
The Studio Plus makes full 4x6 prints, while the pocket models make small sticker-style photos. The Studio Plus is bigger and costs more per print but gives you standard photo sizes.
Can several people print to it at once?
Yes. Multiple users can connect and print to the same printer, which is why it works well at parties and events.
