Questions & Answers

What does it mean for me to have to share my phone contact list and GPS location with the printer?

I do not think that is necessary. In that case, you can bypass it. There's a feature like that there so that when you take a photo with a friend, it will be shared with them. The feature is one I do not want to use.

What is the real difference between this model and Do they differ in any way?

Newer models are inferior to the older versions, according to me. I regret that the print quality is much more washed out in the second edition than with There is a slight difference in the red tones, but the blues have been washed out and the contrast is not right.

What about ink? Do you have to buy ?

The ink you buy is not for printing. It contains tiny crystals that glow when heated, which is why the photo paper is so colorful.

Buying this device brand new was a great deal. Can you tell me why it shows November, 2015 as the first printing date?

You can adjust the date in the setting just by going to the date section

Your contact list and GPS location must be shared in order to use this item
3/5

For one to print a picture, one should not have to share their phone's contacts or GPS location. In order to use this printer, you have to complete the above tasks. I also dislike the color blue because I find it very.

Make sure you do your research before making a purchase
4/5

The quality of what you get depends on the price you pay. Although they are not going to be of super high quality, they can still be extremely useful for a narrow audience. It is the HP Sprocket printer I bought for the guest book at my wedding reception. A mini-elopement was the perfect way for us to get married A variety of family and friends-only receptions are held throughout the year. It was the perfect way to tie everything together, to create a picture guest book. Amazon provided me with the printer and paper for the guest book and I purchased the guest book on Etsy. I didn't care that the prints had a warmer hue than the originals, since I didn't see any difference in lighting. With a selfie stick in hand, I let people take a picture and print it from their phones. Since we usually only have 15 guests at a party, I took no problem leaving my phone out for them to These printers are great and the photo paper packets are great too! Furthermore, I prefer the older design as well. My opinion is that the new design is poorly executed with the speckled look as well as the gritty feel to the top of the printer. The sole reason I bought it was because this is the most recent version of the Sprocket (which means I excluded the Sprocket Plus) and newer is supposed to be better, I really like how easy it is to change the paper and how easy it is to use the printer. I am confident that you will not be disappointed with this printer if you know what it is. All of the reviews were thorough, so I knew what I was getting and I haven't had any surprises so far.

I wish I had known what I know now before I used
4/5

As an event planner, I like this portable photo printer because it does not have the prettiest color but I've had hundreds of occasions where guests have connected to it and printed what they like. Everyone enjoyed having a little photo sticker as a souvenir (like purikura in Japan). Here are three things I wish I had known before I started utilizing There is a bit of a cost associated with photo paper ( *$0. When it is not on sale, it is 50 cents per sheet). It is possible for Amazon to go half off sometimes, so keep your eyes open and stock up when a sale occurs. Then add 2. The Zink printing technology (heat) allows for the printing of a cool picture under a flat medium such as a magazine. If the photo is left to cool on a table by itself, the print Although it is no big deal if it is used as a sticker, it won't look as nice if it is simply hung up. The curling can be mitigated by putting something on top of it while it cools.

A lot of blue appears in a number of design flaws and printed photos
3/5

The HP Sprocket was offered to me and I was excited to receive it since I've been wanting a portable photo printer for a long time. It was a simple process to set it up Connect via Bluetooth once you have downloaded the app. There's more to simplicity than that. Then you have the option of editing your photo once you have selected a photo for printing from your device. One of my photos needed to be cropped and centered. It's at this point that this product earned its first negative. You can only crop photos and keep aspect ratios. isn't true for this particular photo, so if it was going to be printed, I would have to edit it on my device first. Or at least that would be the first strike. The second strike is that the app doesn't allow you to refresh your camera roll. I wanted to print a picture that my granddaughter sent me. I had to force close the app and start over to see the picture in my camera roll because I had already opened the app before I saved the picture to my device. A third strike is that the photo is not of good quality. colors of the photo I used to test the printer were near-perfect because it was a professional photograph. Blue ended up being way too dominant in the final product. Even skin and eyes came out with a blue tint, yes, the original photo contains more blue hues than any other color.
My thoughts on the whole thing If you want to print some fun frames and filters, this is probably a good choice. However, if you want to take a picture with any kind of quality, this may not be the best device to use.

Compatible with all iOS devices, but not the latest ones
3/5

Those using recent Apple products won't be able to use this. Besides two iPhone Xs, an iPad Pro and an older iPad, we also tried two iPad Airs. There are several models that do not support the accessory It is the first device that I have ever seen that is completely It appears that HP's support site is clogged with posts asking for help, and their techs seem to have no clue, and HP does not seem to be doing anything to address the situation. It's a real My head spins trying to figure out why HP isn't taking this issue It is not a good idea to purchase if you own.

There is a lack of color
3/5

The setup and use of the system is easy. While the colors seem to be off, it will take about half an hour or more to retouch and color correct in other apps before printing will turn out satisfactory. Furthermore, the mobile application won't work in the event that permission is granted for GPS location, which has nothing to do with printing from a smartphone. HP does not need to know where I am when I print pictures, so I don't like it. This will be kept as a novelty, but won't be suitable for scrapbooking. In addition to the HP brand zink paper, I also purchased other branded papers.
